Alan Lowenthal, one of the loony Democrat state senators in Sacramento, has proposed a bill that would cure California of its pollution problems and fight global warming; no more free parking spaces in California.
That's right (and this bill has already passed the State Senate).

You see, the reasoning goes like this: More people drive cars because California has too many free parking places! That's right. That means that the abundance of free parking spaces in our state causes more people to drive cars instead of taking public transportation. Take away the parking places and everybody will take public transportation especially in cities like Los Angeles, which is just bursting with efficient buses, taxis, subways and monorails waiting for people to use them.
Plus don't forget all that revenue to the state from parking meters. Win win situation!
What's next? A parking meter in my garage?
I see that California's liberal pot laws are starting to pay off.
