With the idea of stopping enforcement on these spaces, city officials could have some time to create new policies to provide enough parking space for drivers to park on and decrease the rate of conflict between drivers and pedestrians.

Bianca Barragan claims that "Over time, cars hopping the curb has taken its toll. Angry residents say the cars are destroying the grass and chipping away at the curbs. Pedestrians complain that drivers are taking advantage of the space they can find."

Joe Linton argues that "Late at night, more than a dozen cars rest on parkways in some blocks of East Hollywood, Koreatown and Westlake, Vehicle wheels have left grass rutted with tire tracks and crumbling curbs. It difficult for people in wheelchairs to get around the cars parked across the sidewalks." However, my argument is stronger because if drivers are allowed to park on sideways, without given tickets, it will increase the rate of accidents.

Non-enforcement of parking laws effectively gives over sidewalk public spaces to cars. Drivers are favored over pedestrians. And this has another class aspect to it: the poorest in my neighborhoods don’t have cars. Allowing drivers to take over public spaces means shifting space from the have-not to the haves.

Isabel Gallegos argues that "it is should be understandable that many of these car owners don’t have a lot of resources, and the drivers are doing the best they can. Paying for off-street parking would be a burden on them (though many people rent off-street parking from a church.) Paying for parkway parking tickets could be a serious burden, if the city resumes enforcement." by Isabel Gallegos.

The more we privilege drivers and disadvantage pedestrians, the more cars we get, the more lives traffic violence claims, the worse it gets for people on foot.

Moreover, both drivers and pedestrians (poor and rich) should be treated equally.

Cities regulate every aspect of parking, using everything from time limits for on-street parking to zoning requirements for off-street parking, in solution to this problem cities also employ legions of parking enforcement officers to ensure that drivers obey these regulations, and tickets for parking violations are a major revenue source.
