Residential Parking Only


As I was riding my bike through Salem which is known for its progressivism and sanctuary status I noticed all the Residential Parking Only signs on all the sidestreets. It is odd too that Cambridge, the progressive city par excellence, is even more restricted (it has been for sometime) in its allowance of any immigrant automobiles that transgress any of the Permit Parking Only spaces. Hmmm. In the light of all the Left's push for open borders I wonder that such an openness should be according to Residential side streets. I mean shouldn't any vehicle have as much right to the parking spots---granted the spaces are finite and the number of cars---especially now in October---in Salem at least---approaches Halloween infinity and critical mass? So I am expecting this to come to the attention of the progressive mind. It is enough that any vehicle and registration is discriminated against. Why this uncompassionate attitude does not make the airwaves of CNN or MSNBC or Huffington Post perplexes me. That these bulwarks of tolerance and openness doesn't feature an article on the hard hearted carist attitudes of having these unfair limitations along these residential streets. Just because someone through his or her Toyota or Honda or even Lexus privilege gets to park in a spot and someone from other places can't is such an injustice worthy of the attention of the ACLU. Yes, this must be cited as one of the most egregious injustices of our time and certainly one in which I am supremely confident that Ruth Beta can find in the Constitution. Something to show that the right of pro-choice parking must be somewhere in the dynamic reading of that most malleable document. And further those residents that have driveways---certainly this is even a more objectionable and offensive privilege---that seems to reek of class privilege that needs a thorough egalitarian purge if our democratic socialism is to be realized in that all residential spaces be available to all without discrimination. And after why not houses themselves?
