It's about damn time, the parking situation has been horrible for tradespeople the last few years. My restaurant customers constantly whine about the garage parking fee I charge when they have one of these in front of their restaurant...

Tradespeople would be better served getting rarely used cars off the road. Getting rid of these won't make parking significantly easier.

Genuine question- don’t tradespeople need cars the most to transport their tools and stuff? I agree we should lessen cars in the city but people hauling wood and heavy pieces of metal probably need their own vehicles way more than say a white collar worker

Sure it will. There will be more room for delivery men and repair men.

You and I both know that ain't happening any time soon 🤣

It can happen if we promote policy changes that make it harder to own a car that's rarely used.
-City wide street sweeping.
-Much higher registration fees for multiple cars owned at one property.
Edit: I'll add in adding many more short term loading zones so delivery drivers don't need to block crosswalks or double park.

When I lived in strawberry mansion they implemented street cleaning, it definitely removed a lot of abandoned cars from the streets, but the rarely used ones just accepted and paid the ticket, good money booster but not a fix to the actual problem of not having a very walkable city (Septa is great but not very time efficient)

Get a decent CPA and deduct parking. If you aren’t the owner, have the business reimburse you for parking expenses. Either way, quit bitching.

I typically get them to reimburse parking, but they always bitch about it...
