Brickbat: This Will Keep the Riffraff Out

San Diego officials have cut hundreds of parking places at Balboa Park, one of the city's most popular destinations. As part of an effort to force people out of cars, city leaders cut the number of parking places on Park Boulevard to 67 from 300. The road cuts through Balboa Park and runs alongside tourist destinations such as the Natural History Museum, the Reuben H. Fleet Science Center, the San Diego Zoo and the World Beat Cultural Center.

The mayor apparently doesn’t know what the word utopia means. Unless Webster changed that also.
The original meaning of "utopia" was "unattainable".
Utopia means "good place"
Eutopia (same pronunciation) would mean "no place"
This may have been a deliberate double meaning by Thomas More.
"eu" is the prefix that means "good", as in "euphoria" or "eugenics"
careful with that axe, Eugene.

Sarc or stupidity?
Did the voters approve of this crap or did the city council just take it upon themselves to ignore what the voters might want?
H, ha , ha, oh, your serious?
Social engineering to kill tourism. Someone knows his job well.
It is much easier to find parking in Baltimore and DC nowadays.
If people cannot find a parking space, they'll go elsewhere and spend their money in other places. These types of idiots always ignore their market and ignore it at their peril.
Next up: San Diego City Council approves $10 million advertising campaign to address falling attendance at the San Diego Zoo.
Later: San Diego City Council requires all citizens to visit the San Diego Zoo at least twice a year, or face a $500 fine.
You may be forgetting the parallel attack by the Humans are Evil crowd to close down all zoos.
Once again, Climate Change4™ is used as an excuse to inconvenience normal people.
My longtime Usenet ally, Christopher Charles Morton, posted all the data we need about climate change.

Is it any wonder he greatly influenced my own political views for twenty-five years?
Here's how I see it going down:
People are still going to drive up and down that street hoping to find the miracle spot before driving off to find a spot elsewhere. Imagine George Costanza's concentric circles strategy. Therefore, the amount of driving will actually increase.
Their climate change fight will end up increasing CO2.
Congrats, San Diego!
Then they'll end up parking so far away that they'll take a cab from their parking space to the zoo, further increasing the amount of driving.
pretty much the obvious take i had. the old "ride a bike instead" plan only works for people who live within a couple miles. (and don't plan on going anywhere else after the zoo.) for most people, it will just be more time driving around to find a parking spot.
Only politicians are Gods that can change weather. /s
Good grief leftards are sure full of their own Power-Mad cow disease.

Orange elephant even! This is a remake of the Freak Brothers trying to get into Disneyland, right?
Last time visiting San Diego, we stayed at Torrey Pines and drove to Balboa Park; guess we shoulda' walked.
