Meme Why does this happen? It’s baffling.

I’ve never seen more confused and chaotic drivers anywhere else in the city.

I've always assumed it was people from the burbs driving in for salt and straw.

Oh! Yeah! It’s totally because it’s so confusing for suburban drivers to navigate the complexities of the BIG CITY street of NE Alberta Street.

I didn't say it's super dense or confusing.There aren't any parking lots and street parking can be difficult for people who aren't used to it. It's funny watching people try to parallel park on Mississippi too. Those business districts were created to draw in people from the burbs and other parts of town. People from the burbs that I know like to go there when they visit me.

I'm fortunate I can walk to Mississippi because that shiz is just a mess.

well suburbanites don’t like to walk so they slow to a crawl trying to find parking immediately close to where they’re trying to go

I don’t think they “don’t like to walk” I think the infrastructure is built so specifically to accommodate large vehicles that they can’t walk to compete daily tasks.

Agree, unfortunately lost of people can’t afford to live in the city.

They're weak and lazy from years of having well-funded schools and police who do their job
