Idk man, these parking spots get tighter all the time. And making a poor decision to purchase a vehicle on the market should not invalidate a buyers frustrations. Compatibility between car manufacturers and parking spots are getting worse. Also, some people are overloaded and they take up two spots at the back of the lot. I don’t see anything wrong with that. Hauling a trailer but needed to stop by for some groceries before your camping trip in a lot that doesn’t have trailer parking, that person should have the freedom to go take two spots at the back.
I never said they’re getting smaller. I said tighter as in it’s tighter to park in them because cars are getting bigger. And I’m not talking your F350 extended bed and cab super truck. You can just look up any articles. Appyparking did a study on it. American parking spots with the double lines are few outside of Costco.
Not sure why I’m getting down voted here. The people here get upset over the silliest things. Parking sucks. People are stressed. Stop yelling at someone for buying a car too big for parking. Not everyone is driving a prius, and everyone has a right to buy a vehicle on the market and expect for it to comply with all standards, including parking.
Well, “compact” parking spots are about a foot narrower and developers see a way to claim more parking spots for the same area… To the extent they can get away with it I think they do it more.

Do you have a source for your claim that parking spots are getting smaller? I’ve personally seen the exact opposite.

Anybody parking an oversized vehicle in a compact spot is definitely a jerk. Those are exclusively for compact cars, no ifs ands or buts.
If you can’t fit a parking spot, you wasted money on too big of a vehicle.
Saw this at my local grocery store. Does this upset you?
