“I cannot concentrate on my work anymore, because when I leave my work, I have to think, ‘Oh, where am I gonna leave my car?,’” he said.

Soooo close but just missed the point.

Wow it's almost like building our entire society around automobile ownership isn't saleable or something!!

Like I live in a medium sized down and Snow Routes work well enough because lower density.

But like already the newest skyscraper doesn't have any designated loading zones out front for deliveries, ppl just have to throw their 4ways on and hope for the best.

I see videos of people in New York getting plowed in WHILE digging their car out. I'd almost consider blocking the plow not gonna lie.

We need Chinese electric TRAINS not fucking cars.

As a result, Silva says he now parks his car at a friend’s home downtown and then takes an Uber or the TTC back to his home.

Then why not just take the TTC to your place of work Like millions of others do everyday? That's why it exists.

Honestly, your quotes are wildly selective and misleading.

Here are some that provide actual context to what's going on, and not just social media rage bait:

Silva says residents hold a special parking permit, identified by numbers only, that allows them to park exclusively on Howard Park Avenue. Parking elsewhere, he says, can result in additional fines, leaving residents with no viable options during snow events.

“If we park on our street, it’s a $100 ticket, and if you park nearby, we also get a ticket, like $45,” Silva said to Now Toronto. “No matter where we park, we get a ticket.”

...

Silva, along with other residents and neighbours, recently launched a petition calling on the city to allow Howard Park Avenue residents temporary permission to park on neighbouring streets during snowstorms.

The petition also calls for exemptions or accommodations during major weather events and adjustments to permit classifications to ensure equitable access to nearby street parking.

“We support snowclearing 100 per cent, but give us options to park in another street without getting penalized,” Silva said.

Silva says residents have reached out to the city regarding the issue and are often told to park on side streets. However, when residents explain that they legally cannot due to permit restrictions, Silva says they are told there is nothing the city can do.

1. These people have overnight parking permits from the city that only lets them park on Howard Avenue, literally no other street,
2. Yet Howard Avenue is a snowplow route that they can't park on during a snow storm.
3. When they ask the city where they're supposed to park overnight during a storm, the city says the side streets,
4. And then tickets them for not having a permit for side streets.

These are literally just normal people stuck in a niche bureaucratic hell hole that should be changed. Either the city should not be giving out overnight permits for snowplow routes, or they should have reasonable accommodation during those times.

This has nothing to do with whatever public transit tirade you most recently watched on social media.
