It is not, you fuck up the entire traffic flow while trying to back your Ford festival float into the spot and everyone that parks like a normal person hates it and you.
Right, that’s my point. When you’re parking with your hood-in, it may be faster initially, but it takes longer when you’re leaving. The reverse is true when you’re parking trunk-in. But you also get the other benefits of parking trunk-in, like visibility and being able to get into tighter spaces. Visibility is also just more important when you’re leaving the spot, since y’know, pedestrians and traffic are easier to see.
Backup cameras exist. In fact parking in reverse is increasingly popular because they were added, because most people do not have the ability without the cameras to maneuver their cars in reverse.
And again, you’re adding delay for everyone’s parking activities for nobody’s benefit except your own. When you’re backing out, you’re perhaps adding delay to only people who are on their way to leave, but a person looking to park can just take your spot.
Whether you reverse in or reverse out, you’re going to slow traffic. However, if you reverse in, your visibility is better when you leave, it’s an overall net time save.
Again, when you’re reversing out, someone can take your spot (the person who was held up by you leaving). When you reverse in, you’re holding others up just so you can take up a spot. They get to sit there and watch you fumble parking in reverse for absolutely zero benefit to them.
You can get into tighter spaces and it’s safer when leaving the spot for pedestrians as the driver has better visibility. At last they did before side airbags.
Getting into tighter spaces is great because it makes it so that people have to turn into a sheet of paper to enter or exit their cars beside you. Good looking out! /s
Ehh… Thinking more European or urban (us) parking lots where you have much less space between rows. Usually it’s hard to pull forward into the spot in the first place because you need to swing the front versus pivoting the back.
You can practically park sideways at a suburban Costco without inconveniencing your neighbor.
Solution to space between cars is not using a double wide truck/SUV nor parking like a Tesla driver.

But then you also fix / alleviate traffic flow when you go to leave the spot. It’s a two-part process.
When you’re leaving you’re freeing up a spot. When you’re reverse parking you’re holding up traffic to eventually take up a spot.

Not necessarily, maybe the person being held up by you reversing out is trying to leave.
You hold up those people as well when you’re reversing in.

All I park in is urban lots. Then some asshole backs their Dodge ram into the compact spot next to me and opens their king cab door into my car.
Hey man, why so hostile? That “nobody likes you and you have no friends” thing isn’t even funny, it just makes you look like a dick
Is it really “everyone” who hates me, or is it “just you”?
Because I gotta tell ya, I’m OK with 'just you" hating me.
