HERE, THE "CITY" tore up the parking, installed wavy tubing "bike racks"
and "planters" where we used to be able to park once i n a while, when a
space opened up, right across from the big state indoctrination factory
(university). Needless to say, nobody uses the "bke racks" and the
"planters" are expensive to maintain. Whereas, the parking meters were
always in use....generating revinoooooo!

I'm seeing an excellent example of the urban socialization in action here
with bicycles. The city spent multiple Billion$ of federal money
constructing a light rail system, which destroyed established businesses
along it's entire route, because the rail line down the middle of the
street blocks access to "the other side of the street" businesses. Then, to
encourage users of the "light rail" system to ride and actually get to
their business or work, bicycle stands were placed with rent bikes unlocked
and rented by smart phone. The bikes are yellow or green. After just a few
months, the homeless have found a way to unlock the "smart phone locked
bikes" and steal and strip them, or use them at will. Yellow and Green
bikes are now found in alleys being used as free transportation by the
homeless and addicted. The bike company is part of "public transport" and
now complaining about the upkeep cost and lack of traffic.
The "light rail" company has, after 3 years of operation, failed to make a
profit, and is unable to pay it's electric bill to run the trains. During
the 3 years, trains have hit, on average, one car per month, injuring many
occupants.
