I understand the people here not being able to drive, and being forced to engage in all manner of Top Gun style maneuvers just to navigate the pedestrian threat, but all these accidents while parking is on a whooooole other level.
And this council and Bigios want to put a structure for small children right by a parking lot in Habernickel. Seriously no consideration for the dangers of cars
