It is bad for the earth and air, they take up to much space on the road, and up to three parking spots.

The Fan is a classic street car suburb. Your point is still right-on: Our (oh, oops, I live south of Main: "your") fine, tree-lined, sometimes narrow streets certainly weren't designed to hold personal vehicles at the rate of 2 or 3 per household. “Bus” is a near miss, friend.

I guess as an SUV owner it would be the end of the world if I couldn't park on a corner. I don't think an SUV owner purposely looks for a corner to park on or do we think we can park anywhere. As crowded as the fan is for parking - I think no matter if I'm in my SUV or my Wifes Volkswagon - I just look for a spot. It would be interesting to see if their are any facts on how many intersection accidents occur based on not being able to see do to visual obstructions.
