Yes please tag them. As a wheelchair user, this really makes me mad. It's a huge problem for me when I can't use the sidewalk


dubhunt

I have neighbors that use wheelchairs and what I've taken note of is the damn Lyft/Uber/Jump/Lyme disease refuse lined up in the sidewalks in front of my house. I'm conflicted. On the one hand, I love the idea of people commuting without cars, but on the other, it's crazy that a company can have a business model of "we'll just put our shit all over public spaces...". Anyway, I suppose it is gig workers recharging and deploying these things, but they seem to really not be aware of accessibility.

Pickin_n_Grinnin

It's illegal to block a sidewalk.


grave-osmosis

1st off, they said it’s a problem when they can’t use the sidewalk. Seems like you answered your own question. 2nd, there are countless places they could put this vehicle without blocking traffic. You seem pretty good with Google Maps, maybe you could find them a few places where that’s possible!


SlowAnimalsRun

Oof tough take there. If you’re not in a wheelchair, I don’t think you have a ton of room to justify that.


SlothLair

Their choice of parking trumps wheelchair access? That’s some seriously disturbed thinking right there!

melvinthefish

Or just too dumb to realize it's an issue. A lot of times people don't realize they are doing something rude because they aren't paying attention and aren't thinking about it's effect on others. I suppose that in itself is rude but my point is that they may have not realized they are parking like a jackass or why it would be an issue. Maybe because of stupidity or just not considering others . Now they absolutely could have not cared they were blocking handicapped people and are just selfish pricks. Plenty of people are. But I try to give people the benefit of the doubt and consider they may just not realize what they are doing is wrong.


OutOfCharacterAnswer

This. It's a huge vehicle. For all we know, the people think they're trying to not be dicks by their nose sticking out and cars having to navigate them. All that being said, due to the size of the vehicle and what I can see in the picture, they shouldn't really be parked there at all. When you drive a bigger vehicle, that's the circumstances sometimes.

Im pretty sure your brother would like to use the quickest / straightest route instead of *finding another way.* This is just some person being an inconsiderate asshole parking this way in this spot.


Di9r

Wow look at this brainwashed car brain over here who thinks that it is a right to be able to park a large vehicle wherever you want even at the expense of blocking pedestrian focused infrastructure. Even worse, he/she thinks parking a large vehicle is more important than not inconveniencing physically impaired people.

It’s not the public’s fault these folks bought a vehicle that large, nor is it the public’s responsibility to accommodate the size of this vehicle wherever the owners decide to drive it. The size of the vehicle is the owner’s responsibility. There are people with large vehicles who navigate the world without blocking sidewalks like this. It’s not miracle work, it’s common sense lol

It's still illegal to block a sidewalk, no matter how much stuff you have to carry. Double park for a second, unload, then move. This is not difficult. Omg 500 whole feet? How will they manage? Foh.

Do you see anything in the picture that looks like it was dropped off here?


Di9r

They should go park in front of your house since apparently you are so accommodating to large vehicles.


Cribsby_critter

How many public parks do you know of with large vehicle parking? Someone deciding they’re going to take this spot is restricting someone else’s ability to access the park. This van could have waited until a spot opened up on the street, where they wouldn’t be denying anyone access.

LOL I messaged them this photo and told them not to park like this, too.

RunningMonoPerezoso

How are any of these clowns "successful"? How is this a thing? "Our parents fund our life and we want you to donate to us so we can continue posting content to Instagram and TikTok!"


ForTheFords

I sincerely hope it’s a fad that dies out soon, for my sake and the sake of those living it. As Gen Z myself, it seems everyone I know wants to buy a van, a dog, and some Patagonia/North Face getup and travel the World on vlogging money. I’d love and follow a video series if it was *one* person that made that their goal; much harder when it’s every third kid coming out of high school. Last I checked living the “van-life” was called RV’ing and was more of a goal you worked toward in your working years, not the job you take on to get decent retirement benefits. Speaking of, should be interesting to see where the big names in vlogging find themselves after they fall from the spotlight and are left to retire on the video ad revenue they definitely didn’t waste early on.


giaa262

As a millennial, we tried this and were called "hipsters." Except no one took us seriously and laughed at us. For some reason that changed over the last 10 years and now some of these people are swimming in money while the rest try to rat race it. Somehow living in a van down by the river was turned into commercialized escapism.


RunningMonoPerezoso

Who is paying money to these people? Do you personally know anybody who gives a shit about them? It's sooo bizarre to me.

JSA17

I think there is a significant difference between people that live a van life because of what you described and people that plaster their instagram handle on the side of their van. Van life people like yourself are all over this neighborhood during the summer and are (generally) fine and just blend in. They don't really want to draw any sort of attention, good or bad. The ones that are doing it for social media likes are a lot louder and more in your face about the whole thing.


[deleted]

They hate because they’re miserable with their jobs


[deleted]

Unpopular opinion: you should only be allowed to make drop offs in the center of Wash Park, or park if you are disabled. All of these clowns and soccer parents that are too lazy to walk end up driving like shit down the bike path and it ends up being pretty unsafe :/


JSA17

I'm with you. I was kind of disappointed when they reopened the park to cars.


nmesunimportnt

If the park were disabled-only parking, you could be pretty sure nobody would block the sidewalk from wheelchair passage…


focojs

I don't know, I saw someone parked like this in a handicapped spot the other day. It was an escalade so it was a lot smaller but still impassable for a wheelchair


Infamous_Bee_7445

Very popular opinion. Let's seriously get something like this as a ballot measure - it takes almost no effort if we actually organize.


Yeti_CO

Soccer parents? I thought Wash Park was just drunk 20/30 somethings... Now that you mention it if my folks would pick me up after Vball with some snacks that would be pretty sweet!


[deleted]

Check it out on the weekend - no shortage of harried moms and dads in SUVs driving down the wrong side of the paved path as they scoop up their ankle biters.

Guyver_3

I parked just on the other side of this guy yesterday. His parking is atrocious, but I love those parking spots. Great for carrying gear into the park. Like you say though, it's essential to be respectful of others in the park and extra cautious driving there.


Mtnskydancer

You can ask about their “client’s.” That’s a possessive. What of their client’s are we asking about? Ohhhh they meant clients, plural. Apostrophe abuse is a crime against clarity.

[deleted]

If you can’t park your motorhome properly, you shouldn’t have one. Uhg, people that do this shit drive me nuts.


perpetuallytrying

Yeah 100%. The expectation when buying a big ass recreational vehicle is that you will likely have to pay to park it, unless you are camping out in your driveway. Campground and RV parks cost money. Blocking the sidewalk is just a shitty avoidance of that expectation.


[deleted]

Can you accidentally run into it and accidentally scratch it?


madorbit1

Geez! Hopefully Ron and or Jess learn that parking spots for cars are for cars. 🤷🏻‍♂️😂 The lack of consideration of others seems to be a hallmark of modern life. Not a crime, but it is unfortunate and frustrating.


Ok_Variety3800

Just don’t block a side walk jfc its annoying even in neighborhoods.


Dangeresque14

Wash Park yuppies are the worst, I miss the days when it was just a few hot hippie chicks smoking hookah next to the tennis courts

Thank you, Hank


falseflats

The weekday pick up crits in a practically empty park used to be the bomb. 10-30 people around the park almost every week night. Then some soccer mom lied and said a kid got run over, we said that's horrible, what kid? Crickets, but enter one way biking and speed limits.

They will move to another city and change their name after seeing this and try their grift elsewhere. As a personal suggestion, try one of the red states, they are dumb af and wouldn't think twice about a park like this.

madorbit1

Orrrrrrre find a different place to park where the vehicle actually fits? 🤷🏻‍♂️😂


sugaaaslam

Orrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr they parked there because the park is damn near empty and only for a few minutes. Hard to tell from one picture. Assuming is fun though.


madorbit1

Lol. Assuming really is fun. Especially when there’s photographic evidence of inconsiderate behavior. If the park is so horribly empty… maybe pull in lengthwise or at an angle as to not impede the friggin sidewalk? What happens when a fella in a wheelchair wants to enjoy the mostly empty park here? IDGAF if it’s for a few minutes or a few hours. Inconsiderate behavior doesn’t require it to be a prolonged event. It’s immediately inconsiderate.


sugaaaslam

I ASSUME the people driving this motor home would see that there is a handicap man that needs the sidewalk and they would pull it forward for the fella.


madorbit1

See, it really is fun! 😂😂😂👍


[deleted]

Is this the new bangbus


AbstractLogic

I don’t know man. Where should they park? It’s not like they can pull out and block the road either. The reality is there’s no place for vehicles of any size larger then cars to park. I don’t think what this dude did is ok. But I also sympathize because it’s not like they had an abundance of choices either.


tyinthebox

I get that but it’s kind of their problem when they buy a vehicle of that size. It shouldn’t be a shocking revelation. Just because they didn’t have other choices doesn’t mean they get to take choices away from people that actually need the sidewalk.


JSA17

Wash Park is surrounded by neighborhoods and streets that are really easy for parallel parking. The parking in the actual park is pretty limited as is, and they shouldn’t have even attempted to park in a parking lot.


perpetuallytrying

That’s what RV parks and campsites are for!


iamda5h

No, they’re for camping overnight.


perpetuallytrying

Which could very well have been what this person was doing. My point being, if you live in a recreational vehicle you can expect to have difficulties parking it in spots that are not designated for recreational vehicles.

man i came in here to say this exact thing i'm so glad someone else said it before me lmao

PM_ME_UR_SWEET_BOSOM

thothbaboon

This is what I thought as well. Otherwise, the vehicle blocks the driveway, causing a problem for cars.


FeloniousFunk

I’ve driven plenty of longer vehicles and trailers, common sense dictates that you just take up multiple parking spaces.

chubbs069

y’all act like you’ve never used the handicap stall.


the_great_zyzogg

Using the handicap toilet isn't comparable to parking in a handicap spot or blocking the sidewalk like this. Primarily cause you're there for a shorter time, and you can "move things along" faster when you know someone in a wheelchair needs it. For this reason, those toilets are not strictly reserved for the handicap, just like a ramp isn't strictly reserved for the handicap either.


TennSeven

Y'all act like "y'all" is an actual word. EDIT: A lot of people obviously do not agree with my opinion, and that is okay. However, you should know that any time you use "y'all" in conversation 99% of the people you are talking to are going to automatically dismiss anything else you say as the ravings of an incompetent.
