Would you buy a car when your only garage is the street?

But if the roads remain to be private roads, no public money, such as to maintain the roads, can be expended on those roads.

+100 agree here

Better use tax law principles to justify your argument like taxes can only be used for public purposes or benefit.

+102 disagree here. as posted above by machine.pistol as far as i know the subdivision roads become public property hence every taxpayer of this country has the right to complain as long as legit contrary what you said earlier that non residents have no "K" to complain. Hope everybody is well-informed

Secured parking is a must if you want to have peace of mind.

Yun nga lang i-park ko sasakyan sa kalye (allowed street parking areas). I often have to go back after a few min just to check. What more if you have to park it outside overnight.

Pero sa reality lalo na sa Makati at Taguig, madaming may kotse kahit nasa simpleng apartment lang yung may ari ay naka-park ang kotse sa masikip na kalsada. Worse e mas mahal pa yung kotse kesa sa value na bahay.

Siyempre pa,- the vehicle goes where he goes,- and so pogi points, but that is his choice...

Iyong peste ay ang pagpa-park niya sa kalye....

For me,if allowed to park in the streets i'd just buy a 2nd hand car.a common car so as not to attract too much attention or look for another place to transfer with suitable garage.

Just wanted to post my opinion mga sir.

Ako kasi, turo sakin ng magulang ko. don't buy a car kung wala kang parking. kasi hindi naman sayo ang side-street. and ginagatungan mo lang na mangyari ang double parking. gagayahin ka nang mga kapit bahay mo. ayaw naman na'ting maging tulad ng makikipot na kalsada na nadadaanan na'tin sa manila. dun, uso na yan, ngayon, ang kalye mo magiging ganun na rin dahil sa gagawin mo.

anyway, medyo ouch yan and alam kong maraming tatamaan. ako, di ko talaga ginagawa yan. isa lang oto ko. gusto ko nang isa, pinapagawa ko na lang garahe ko pang isa. pero syempre dahan dahan lang kasi masakit sa bulsa.

sa aking mga kapit bahay, ginagawa nila yan. mga ka close ko rin yung iba etc. well, di ko naman sila pinagsasabihan o pinapakialaman. basta di lang ako sasali. atleast kahit papaano, nakapag contribute na'ko sa pilipinas kahit onte. (marami rin naman akong maling nagagawa sa buhay ko. pang bawas kasalanan na rin :D).

Tama ang turo sa yo ng magulang mo.

In the long run, having your own parking will rid you also of a lot of headaches, and also adds much value to your property versus one that has no parking of its own.

If youre in a subdivision why not? Minsan pag ako lang magisa sa labas ko na lang pinapark ung sasakyan kasi mabigat gate namin. Different story kung nsa apartment ka lang prone ka sa mga masamang elemento like mahagingan ung sasakyan mo habang nagpapark sa katabi mo, me mantrip sa sasakyan mo tanggalan ng hangin yung gulong, or kaskasan ng tansan yung body. Etc. wala ka peace of mind pag ganon

**jut703** · April 2nd, 2015 06:38 PM

May peace of mind naman ako kahit sa labas ko pinapark kotse ko minsan. Sus, kotse lang yan, di ko naman anak yan. Kung sandalan or masagi ng ibang tao yung side mirror, no big deal.

Now, kung palaging nagagasgasan ng dumadaan na kotse yung kotse mong nakapark sa daan, eh baka kasi masyado nang masikip yung daan kaya hindi mo na dapat parkingan.

Basic rule, kung may napeperwisyo ka, edi itigil mo na. But the fact of the matter is, not all street parkers cause inconvenience to other motorists.

Kung makitid street mo tapos maraming dumadaan, edi too bad, wag ka magpark para di ka maperwisyo at makaperwisyo. Kung makitid street mo in your subdivision tapos wala namang halos dumadaan and all homeowners in that street agree that responsible street parking (no double parking, one side parking only, etc) is more beneficial than detrimental, edi magkasundo kayo na ok lang street parking. Sa VV and San Lo halos lahat nakastreet parking maski main road or not. Sa VV5 bawal overnight street parking, sa VV1 may certain streets lang na bawal, sa San Lo no holds barred lahat nakastreet park basta wag humarang sa driveway and wag double park. Iba iba yan bawat village, hindi naman outright mali na magpark sa labas.

Kahit saan sa mundo may street parking. So I don't get why people are generalizing that all street parking is bad and anyone who has a car with no covered garage is an irresponsible asshole who only thinks of himself.
