Krijack,

Really? ". . . whole idea of planning is a joke." So things turn out better without planning?

Slab,

Do you think they're planning for you? I'm guessing they don't. Here's how it works when planning a parking lot: Land costs money. More land for bigger lots costs more money. So you get lots with parking stalls and drive pathways that require you to jockey your bulgemobile car or truck back and forth a couple times to wedge yourself into the too-small space. From the planner's and lot owner's perspective that is your problem not their's. You got your parking space; they got your parking money for it. Whatever makes you think it's about you and your convenience? It isn't. BTW, I agree that this is a pain. I even have to jockey the Subie to get in some places. But I understand that your and my convenience is not part of their plan.

If you understood the rules of problem ownership, you might . . . naw, you'd still be pissed because the regional planners don't make it all about YOU.
