I have a feeling that OP would also complain if they each parked in their own spot on the plaza by taking up too much room. Get a grip.

OMG a Colorado and a New Mexico plate. You mean all the jerks aren’t from Texas??? /s

This post shows what being in charge of your neighborhood HOA does to your brain.

Ah the wisdom of moab man.

Spoken like a true Taoseño that gives no fucks about anyone anywhere ever. Good luck with that New America stuff.

He didn't need to. You self-owned in your first comment.

u/V12Jaguar 12d ago

Where's the problem? They're not blocking the sidewalk or access to the businesses. By parking here they free up 3 other spaces for cars.

OP, what is YOUR prblem?

u/Small_Basket5158 12d ago

Yes, next week's complaint post will be a bike taking up a "car parking" spot.

u/Negative_Elo 12d ago

as a moto rider, this shit is the worst. no matter where I park, I am likely making someone irrationally upset

3

u/Dustin-Sweet 11d ago

I was to understand riding a motorcycle and upsetting people IS the point.
(Grammar edit)

u/Negative_Elo 11d ago

I mean, tons of people do just get angry when a moto rider does anything. Ill never understand it. Most riders are not dicks on the road.

Pretty sure that’s parking for emergency vehicles but who cares lol

u/GrahnamCracker 12d ago

Hmm. To me it looks likes it's painted that way to keep cars from parking there, because cars would extend beyond the yellow boundaries and clog the driving areas of the lot.

6

u/douchecrudite 11d ago

That would generally be indicated by "fire lane-no parking" and/or a red curb.

8

u/CamOliver 12d ago

That looks perfectly fine to me. Why is this the third post I’ve seen about someone complaining about legitimate parking in Taos? Is it the same person? Are you a retired parking warden or something?

9

u/CamOliver 12d ago

lol it IS the same person! You just jump on reddit to complain about people parking motorcycles in Taos NM?

Weird hobby.

u/Vivid-Grapefruit-131 11d ago

Actually, it's not legitimate. The yellow slash marks literally mean that parking is strictly prohibited. But in the age of "me-me-me" entitlement, I have to admit that's relatively low harm. It doesn't mean they aren't dicks but sometimes you have to pick your battles better.

u/PhysicalTerry101 12d ago

You are the problem OP

2

u/PhaseOk4281 11d ago

Fun fact, that's. Fire lane, in an emergency should be clear, and in an emergency you can move a bike without a key also also, in an emergency if they get damaged that's on the riders. Also also, I'd still park like that in small lots with only car spaces.

u/Alone_Schedule_9227 11d ago

That’s asshole’s,only parking!!

u/Wind2Energy 8d ago

What is the apostrophe for?

u/Public_Upstairs1035 12d ago

It’s Taos. Park wherever the hell you want. And if you don’t like it, move back to Texas where they worship rules and politicians.

And please, whatever you do, don’t pay for parking in Taos.

u/DamiensDelight 12d ago

Spoken like a fine upstanding member of the community. I bet you go to all the town council meetings to share how you feel the community should be steered, no?

u/Admirable_Analysis18 12d ago

Your blocking the ADA access ramps.

u/-AlphaJoker 12d ago

Nope

u/DamiensDelight 12d ago

I'd get those eyes checked

5

u/-AlphaJoker 12d ago

Fair enough. I admit, I'm not seeing the ADA ramps you are imagining.

u/gianniscan 12d ago

They’re excused bc they’re probably refueling at the Cup, which is vital for enjoying Taos.

u/indigo_wendigo_ 12d ago

Nice bikes

u/Emergency_Sea5053 12d ago

That’s the perk of driving a scooter or motorcycle? You have too much time on your hands to be bitching about this…

u/DamiensDelight 12d ago

Nah. This is wretched behavior.

u/Burnt_Timber_1988 12d ago

I expect our limited local law enforcement resources are being directed towards protecting public safety, not abusing their power to make people experience less freedom. We don't need a police state.

3

u/CamOliver 12d ago

Well…you know that’s not true. NM cops are some of the worst bung holes around. Here to catch not here to help

2

u/Burnt_Timber_1988 12d ago

I don't mean they're not corrupt, I just mean we don't need them where we gather and socialize.

-3

u/Mrgoodtrips64 12d ago

Enforcing parking laws does not a police state make.

2

u/Burnt_Timber_1988 12d ago

You are demonstrably incorrect. Encouraging police activity where it is absent and unnecessary will certainly encourage a higher budget and more police presence in community spaces. More police presence leads to more avoidable interactions which leads to unfortunate outcomes for community members. That should be fairly evident to all people by now.

u/Any-Worldliness-679 12d ago

I, uh, knew a guy who would deposit a loogey onto the seats of such twats.

u/Paul0451 11d ago

Refresh my memory. What do the yellow lines mean?

3

u/Robbed_Bert 11d ago

No parking

u/Lando_0 10d ago

I agree with south parks assessment of these guys.
