I'm one hour outside the city, nearly rural burbs surrounded by farms. Parking ticket junta knows no bounds my friend.

Also your logic is a bit scary. "I'm tired of seeing extra-judicial killings." "Sounds like you're just tired of living in Manila"

An HN member suggests that someone may just not enjoy urban living, and your response is to relate that suggestion to lawlessness and wanton murder. Their logic isn't scary at all, it's not even the slightest bit unusual; your response however, is extremely bizarre and off kilter.

While I do not regard it as an accurate view of cities, I also do not regard it as “extremely bizarre and off kilter” — I have noticed similar patterns of hyperbolic anti-city thoughts amongst many people who prefer rural areas to cities.

Their logic is wrong.

I don't live in a city.

We should strive to reform the parking ticket system, not spite ourselves and move out of cities.

The real way to reform the parking ticket system is to remove cars from cities.

In this town here there almost isn't even parking enforcement and it's rarely the case that you are looking for an open spot. When there is a big event at the park, the nearby streets can be full for a couple of blocks.
