How dare other people use the public facilities constructed using everybody's tax money‽ it seems that, in the same way that atheists disbelieve in just one more god than Christians, c/fuckcars people hate only one car more than drivers do.

In my neighborhood, you're supposed to park on your driveway or in your garage. There's a bunch of newcomers moving in that increasingly park in the street. The streets are 2-way, and there isn't room for 2-way traffic with parking on both sides.

You should see Seattle neighborhood streets. Everybody parks on either side in either direction making them effective one-lane streets, and you have to play pull-over chicken every time there's someone up ahead traveling in the opposite direction.

At least most people are considerate about it. What drives me crazy is when there is room for the cars to keep driving and pass one another, but one driver decides they have to be in the center of the street.

Typically roads in neighborhoods are constructed by the developer and are transferred to the city later. Those costs get baked into the house price, so in a way the original homeowner funded the road.
