Oh, so you're one of those city dwellers who don't own a car nor have a
driving license???? I have met a few of them in my time. Living in a
rural area where every kid longs for the day he can get his license and a
car so he can get places, I thought these guys were mighty weird. They
explained that they almost never left the city and could get anywhere they
wanted to go without the hassle of having a car. Ruth

which is under discussion here - represents a reasonable use of the streets
- that is, a resting place for cars while delivering. But the "free
parking" discussion here is taking place in the context of the supposed
harmlessness of leaving cars on the street indefinitely.
I am not allowed to park my sofa in the street. Why should I be allowed to
park a big metal thing?
There is no reason to create a huge, hard-top infrastructure simply for
free car storage.
