Parking in Waterloo Region

[SammyOES2]

This may be how it is used, but this is fundamentally wrong, public space should not be used for storage of private property.   Until I can use the parking space in front of my house to store a fridge, I shouldn't be able to use it to store a car.

Edit: What about bikes?

But the bigger reason this is such an absurd point of view is that it misses the whole point of Government/Society in general.  The whole concept of public spaces is that "as a collective society" we decide on some things being ok and others not being ok.  Collectively, we've decided that being able to store a fridge on public ground has no benefit.  Collectively, we've decided that being able to park a car does have benefit.  You can disagree with that, but when talking about these things there are few absolutes - just different people with different priorities.  

You could make your same absolute arguments for things like expropriation.  It's fundamentally wrong to take someone else's property from them against their will.  Except as a society we have chosen situations where it is ok.  

I feel like this forum has a lot of people that think their personal opinions on whats good/bad for society are facts - instead of opinions.
