I would much, much rather have the rules changed to reflect what we actually want them to be than to have bad rules that we only tolerate because we don't enforce them.

But on that note, I absolutely do think that people should pay to store their private property on public land, and that they shouldn't block bus lanes, bike lanes or cross walks, or run red lights, so I fully support those rules and automated enforcement of them.

Why do you think those rules are bad?





Of course, but bad rules enforced imperfectly and good rules enforced perfectly are both categorically and morally superior to bad rules enforced perfectly because some extremist has fantasies of everyone goose stepping in perfect line.
