You'd still have the security of owning the car but it would make not using it more convenient, and you could use the folding bike to get to your new parking spot a bit sooner.<br /><br />Obviously it depends on such a spot existing somewhere...Dr C.https://www.blogger.com/profile/10234078254243840589noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2514589635991570772.post-33928276412563278622010-11-14T21:02:50.726-05:002010-11-14T21:02:50.726-05:00Another reason the cars are required to move, and ...Another reason the cars are required to move, and I think this is a good and legitimate one, is so snow plows are able to clear both sides of the street during the winter...but the rest of the year, like now when there is no snow, it has little relevance.Joehttp://citysimplicity.blogspot.com/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2514589635991570772.post-87695968318328264332010-11-14T19:10:52.200-05:002010-11-14T19:10:52.200-05:00To @Debor's question: cities enact these limit...To @Debor's question: cities enact these limited time parking restrictions for residential streets in response to people who use the public street for long term storage of their RVs, boat trailers, junk cars, etc.<br /><br />Joe is right that these parking ordinances discourage 'car light' use and ownership -- he's penalized for not using his car!Yokota Fritzhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04808661100114872654noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2514589635991570772.post-46180331175108593122010-11-14T16:25:05.396-05:002010-11-14T16:25:05.396-05:00Happy Birthday, Joe!

Looked very funny.<br />I think, this is necessary to keep people busy and to keep them from thinking about the sense in their lives.<br /><br />These are the moments, when I am glad, not to have a car anymore.<br />Let's see, how long it will be, until we sell my wife's car....the_big_smilehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09134978592562433358noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2514589635991570772.post-67619635861986579032010-11-14T12:43:04.118-05:002010-11-14T12:43:04.118-05:00I just have to ask what the rationale is for havin...I just have to ask what the rationale is for having to move the cars - especially in such a limited window of time.Deborhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03333252296283890871noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2514589635991570772.post-59951650101314107132010-11-13T12:30:21.773-05:002010-11-13T12:30:21.773-05:00Joe,
