Streets are for people.. Some like to drive alone in their car, others like to commune with their fellows and enjoy the day outside. I'm definitely with the outside group! So park a bit farther away, walk past them and get to know who your fellows are!

I don't understand how it relates to green space, as your narrative mentions. We need places to park cars. Why not do this in areas that can truly be converted to green spaces -- off-street cement areas that could be made nicer?

Makes me less likely to move to Alaska. I mean shit you need green space when you live in the biggest U.S. state that has state parks bigger than some country's.
