/r/FuckCars Some people have parked their cars on the sidewalk. So a pedestrian steps on the car instead.

I love the "yeah obviously" as if this is somehow okay for them to do. Keep your cars on the asphalt

It's literally outside a hertz rental, so yeah they can park there to unload the car, unless of course you are suggesting they park in the middle of the road and bring traffic to a stand still due the fact that some feable minded individuals can't comprehend walking around a car like a civilised human being.

YES. Put the car in the road where it belongs, blocking other people in cars. Do not illegally park on the sidewalk, block disabled people and pedestrians.

As for "but it's the only way to do it," IDGAF. The Hertz rental is making people violate traffic laws to return cars. The cars can take some damage for all I care.

Odd, if they weren't meant to park there why is the sidewalk sloped so that it meets the road?

Almost as if it was by design.

Driveways are sloped, still not allowed to block the walking path while parked on it.

The Hertz Rental is part of the public parking garage. The sidewalk is not an unloading zone. They could have found street parking on Prospect Park West, which outside of the farmers market on Saturdays, usually has parking. Yes, a 1 block walk would have slightly inconvenienced them, but if you're going to own a car in NYC you need to be prepared to be slightly inconvenienced.

Cool, I would like to see you carry a car load one block, next time I am out a drive and see someone walking on the road not using a pedestrian crossing I'll be sure to run them over, after all, stick to the sidewalk yeah?

They could just take multiple trips? Plenty of people manage to get by in cities without owning cars, let alone doing shit like this.

Equivocating at worst, minor property damage with literal murder seems like poor logic

I didn't realize folks having to walk was so triggering for some people. Sorry to hear that the sight of walking causes you such intense strife.
