    Do you have a source for your claim that parking spots are getting smaller? I’ve personally seen the exact opposite.

      I never said they’re getting smaller. I said tighter as in it’s tighter to park in them because cars are getting bigger. And I’m not talking your F350 extended bed and cab super truck. You can just look up any articles. Appyparking did a study on it. American parking spots with the double lines are few outside of Costco.

      Not sure why I’m getting down voted here. The people here get upset over the silliest things. Parking sucks. People are stressed. Stop yelling at someone for buying a car too big for parking. Not everyone is driving a prius, and everyone has a right to buy a vehicle on the market and expect for it to comply with all standards, including parking.

      Well, “compact” parking spots are about a foot narrower and developers see a way to claim more parking spots for the same area… To the extent they can get away with it I think they do it more.

        Anybody parking an oversized vehicle in a compact spot is definitely a jerk. Those are exclusively for compact cars, no ifs ands or buts.
