Having a hard time finding reasons your argument doesn't stand, huh? Lying about parking meters isn't really helping your case. Like wtf does that? Everyone knows how they work...except people who don't pay any fuel tax or parking fees at all.
It's quite simple. Don't take up more space than provided.
If you want more space, park somewhere else.
You'll quickly find out how little people care about a minority of people with stupid vehicles, making stupid decisions by buying them, not being able to park conveniently.
Those people can take their business and nuisance elsewhere and the town will probably be better off as a result.
