      As the article points out, it’s more that because there is regulation that permits blocking development on environmental or historical grounds, it often gets used to block developments that people don’t like for entirely-different reasons.

    We’ve gone from ‘Wait, the cars are not the dominant life form of the planet, they’re constructed devices of the dominant lifeform of the planet that destroys the environment to facilitate their daily movement between different boxes?’

    To ‘No actually the cars are actually the dominant lifeform, they have more rights and priority than 99% of their operators.’

    Hope the dolphins take over soon.

    EDIT: Has anyone made some kind of online map for the whole US that compares minimum wage to hourly parking rates?
