Comment on Parking isn't as important for restaurants as the owners think it is
grue@lemmy.world 1 year agoA small car takes up just as many parking spaces (i.e., one) as a big car does (i.e., also one). If the problem is parking – and boy howdy, it is! – then the only solution is to show up in a not-car (e.g. riding a bike or on foot), not a small car.

*for certain values of big car.

If the parallel parking is unmarked. I can part my Jimny in half the space of a large sedan or SUV. I can only carry 3 passengers, but all of life is a compromise.

Man, I wish I could have a Jimny.
Anyway, yeah, I know short cars are short. The trouble is that unmarked parallel parking is a tiny fraction of all parking, so the size of cars really doesn’t make much difference in terms of city-wide macro scale. (Unless you went all-in Japan-style and put them in their own separate category with kei-car-only parking spaces and such, anyway.)
