their pizza is fine but it's not like you can't get good pizza at a million places that don't have insanely stupid ordering systems

I’m trying to understand your logic in how we’re going to keep parking for the people concerned for safety but not have it overwhelmed with people who just don’t want to travel any other way.
I also think it’s odd when people on the pro-parking side are defensive if surface lots. All of us should hate how space wasteful and ugly surface lots are at least.

So we just temporarily build huge parking infrastructure until public transportation is “safe” and then we bulldoze that new parking infrastructure to build housing?

> they should be required to keep the dragons front and center.
Where/how else are you supposed to park your dragon?

These guys used to frequent a restaurant I worked in and would come in ~15 minutes or so before the kitchen closed and special order a bunch of food to make it more keto friendly.
My chef at the time absolutely hated them. They did always tip well, to their credit.

So, like, how is this determined? Is it a secret poll? Is there “fear for safety” parking permits? I don’t know how you’d come up with these numbers or avoid having people who “fear for their safety” who just prefer to drive.

Manayunk Tavern is the best neighborhood bar hands down, and the bar staff (Adrian in particular) are all fantastic. It's such a loss that it's going to be ruined by the most pretentious business in Manayunk.

When I say parking for everyone, what I mean is everyone that doesn't feel safe walking, riding a bike or taking public transportation. Obviously, the city cannot support parking for each person...

Parking for everyone means the city becomes a parking lot, which means we don’t have a city at all.
Less parking disincentivizes driving and gets people walking, biking and on public transportation. More people using those different modes creates a “critical mass”, which improves safety on virtue of volume alone.
Less parking is more room for businesses and housing, all of which provide more tax revenue for the city (which can be used to fund public safety!), and adds actual value to the community.
I get what you’re saying about safety, but your proposed solution of “parking for everyone” really just accelerates the problem you’re talking about.

The pizza is good but I’ve ordered it exactly once because it was such a pain in the ass to order and pick up
