MODERATORS
I live in a 'communist' city.
Most people here are driving huge honkin' SUVs and are screaming about the lack of street parking, even though they have driveways.
The entitlement is pure insanity, and this is from so called leftist liberals. The same ones who support BLM, but viciously oppose any new development, especially anything that with affordable housing units.
Truth is a lot of lefties become conservatives when they the issues affect them.
Somehow I suspect, if this account is accurate, it's wildly anecdotal. Did you ask them their politics as they ranted about street parking from their Escalade? You're sure that these SUV driving, public infrastructure hating, affordable housing hating are leftists? They just sound like NPC neolibs to me.
I'm in St Paul, MN. I see the same stuff as their anecdote.
Minneapolis is the same way too.
