How Will the Great Slope Parking Experiment Play Out?
A headline in today’s Times: “New Parking Rules Receive a Wary Welcome.” A headline in today’s Daily News: “Joy Spreads in Park Slope as Hated Alternate-Side Parking to be Halted.” But what do you think? Alt-Side Hiatus: Terrif or Trashy? ( polls) Photo by charles.hope.

sure thing, 11:33 — just let us know make, model and tag # of your car, and we’ll be sure to keep an eye on it.
11:31 — shocking i know. but i don’t think the posters bashing car owners are just from PS. those who believe they know what’s best for everyone seem to be everywhere; though honestly, its a mind set i expect more from red states than from cosmopolitan, viva la difference, new york city.
Has it started yet???? I’m going away for Memorial Day long weekend and want to move both of our cars over to PS for about a week and a half. Can any of you tell me if there’s space on your block and where you’re located?
11:25: Are you suggesting that people who live in park Slope are judgemental & feel that everyone should exercise the same lifestyle as them? I don’t believe it….
You miss the main point — it will be great for neighborhoods NEAR Park Slope. Just put your car there and leave it, and you don’t have to worry about alternate side. Great for vacations.
why are some people so judgemental about others who own a car? it goes hand in hand with people being narrow minded and judgement about other things. Some people have cars out of a necessity, even in the city. i lived in NY 9 years without a car and had a change of circumstances that required me to have a car in order to travel to central new jersey on the weekends and occassionally during the week. doesn’t mean i’m lazy. doesn’t mean i should have to pay for a garage as long as there is street parking available. i make my own choice about whether the hassle of street parking is worth the money saved on a parking garage. that is my decision based on my needs. don’t impose your own standards on others, especially when you DO NOT know others’ circumstances. very narrow minded and “moral majority” of those of you bashing car owners. And, cars that are abandoned in PS for the summer should be ticketed, towed, or worse. when the sign-changing and supsended alternate parking happens in other neighborhoods, there will be pay back to those who dump their cars in PS
11:06,
Thanks a lot – Better watch your “kar”ma!
10:44 stop spying on me it is rude
I’m sensing a lot of socialism/communism in these postings by what are obviously non car owners.
1. Owning a car is a right and is legal
2. Parking on the street is a right and is legal
3. If you can’t afford one that’s fine but don’t condemn those who can
As far as all those posters coming from manhattan to park, they are just baiting you for a response!!!
