American are a compassionate people. When the handicapped began driving themselves in greater numbers we decided it would be a great idea to reserve places close to the doorways of public buildings and business so they could more easily reach their destinations. The latest parking space trend has no similar purpose:
Wheelchair users and others with limited mobility have long had access to prime parking spaces. Then expectant mothers got their own special spots. Now some stores are setting aside coveted parking close to the door for fuel-efficient hybrids. Ikea has designated hybrid-only spaces across the U.S. *** The New York City Council has discussed a similar idea: letting hybrid drivers park free at city meters. Houston Chronicle
As more people become proud owners of the newly designated special vehicles, how ridiculous will this parking privilege trend become? Think about itsoon the designation will apply to all parking places now isnt that special.
