I am sorry but those spots are so stupid. There is no reason "clean" cars should be treated with higher priority than other cars.
Not to mention, there is no definition on what a clean air vehicle is.
Oh so your smug and drive a fancy EV, so I guess you need to park up front to show off your fancy car huh?
[–]clunkclunk 21 ポイント22 ポイント23 ポイント 1 日 前
Incentivizing people to purchase "clean" cars is the reason - not priority.
Just like the reason that the government offers rebates on them, or the carpool lanes are available to alternative fuel cars.
What I want to know is what is classified as a "clean air vehicle"...
Is it ZEV? PZEV? SULEV?

That is what I do. Apparently it doesn't count. Despite the fact it's cleaner than 95% of the cars on the road.

Unless you have a catalytic converter on that, among other things that I do not see on that bike, you are polluting more than most cars on the road.
I love my motorcycle, but it does pollute more because there are no emission control devices on it. You end up with more hydrocarbon commissions, more NO output, and more CO output (Typically far more in all those categories). The only emission that they tend to do better on is CO2, because they are generally more fuel efficient(Unless you are driving some harleys, or some goldwings).
There are multiple sources backing this up. Here are two.

Why would you park all the way at the front like that? I hate it when people do that shit. Park near the back of the spot so that everyone can see that someone is parked there.
[–]BakeAked 14 ポイント15 ポイント16 ポイント 1 日 前
LOL. Complains about special treatment for certain cars. Rides a lane splitting/sidewalk parking motorcycle.
[–]PlumberODeth 7 ポイント8 ポイント9 ポイント 1 日 前
FTFY
Complains about 'smug' EV car drivers and their special treatment, smugly points out he only rides a lane splitting/sidewalk parking motorcycle.
[–]Gbcue 0 ポイント1 ポイント2 ポイント 1 日 前
But both of those have a defined statue and are legal/illegal, respectively.
[–]clunkclunk 0 ポイント1 ポイント2 ポイント 1 日 前
What specific model/year?
[–]EastBayBassAlameda[S] 0 ポイント1 ポイント2 ポイント 1 日 前
It probably should count.
[–]Ghitit 6 ポイント7 ポイント8 ポイント 1 日 前
It definitely should count. But s/he should to park closer to the aisle so cars don't think it's an empty spot.
[–]bayarealovefest 4 ポイント5 ポイント6 ポイント 1 日 前
Yes please!!! Motorcycles and tiny cars should always park near the back of the spot so the rest of us can see it
[–]coratio_haine 10 ポイント11 ポイント12 ポイント 1 日 前
I mean, you don't have to agree with the reason, but it's pretty obvious that there is one.
[–]jidery -14 ポイント-13 ポイント-12 ポイント 1 日 前
What you mean global warming? I'm fine with EV's exiting, im also fine with Hybrids. I don't like those cars getting treated better just because they are newer.
[–]dantheman451 8 ポイント9 ポイント10 ポイント 1 日 前
It's used as an incentive so more people buy low emission cars. We get it, you ride a motorcycle. Woopty fucking doo.
[–]Ghitit 4 ポイント5 ポイント6 ポイント 1 日 前
I don't disagree with you, but if it's private property, they can do what they want. The funny thing is is that when I go to places like Target they do have compact spots, usually closest to the front of the store, but they're so big that any car can fit. I drive a Toyota Sienna van and never have a problem parking in most "compact" spots.
[–]winja 2 ポイント3 ポイント4 ポイント 1 日 前
Do you go to Bay Street in Emeryville?
It's amusing what they think constitutes a parking spot. Even my tiny Honda Fit barely fits between the lines. I guess maybe they're trying to average out the spaces at places like Target.
[–]Ghitit 0 ポイント1 ポイント2 ポイント 1 日 前
No, I'm in the North Bay. I'm not saying everywhere the spots are big, just in some places. I rarely choose a compact spot anyway. I'm overweight, so I try always to park far away from the entrance. Unless the compact spot is in the shade. I'll probably take a shady spot over a far spot.
[–]winja 1 ポイント2 ポイント3 ポイント 1 日 前
Oh, no, I wasn't challenging you. I find those spaces amusing -- the entire garage is made up of spaces like the one I described!
[–]EastBayBassAlameda[S] 9 ポイント10 ポイント11 ポイント 1 日 前
I could picture the old guy with the AZ plates thinking the same thing, "those damn California hippies and their stupid hybrids," as he parked there to go into the natural grocery.
[–]rdesktop7 4 ポイント5 ポイント6 ポイント 1 日 前
Don't worry, your "fancy hybrid" may not get 60 mpg, but it will pollute a lot less than a motorcycle. See my post above about it.
[–]ahandle 0 ポイント1 ポイント2 ポイント 1 日 前
you mean 'health food store' - you see, for them colitis is a real issue. They're happy to tell you just how hard a time they have with sesame seeds.
I drive a motorcycle, does your fancy hybrid get 80 MPG?
[–]EastBayBassAlameda[S] 6 ポイント7 ポイント8 ポイント 1 日 前
I don't have a hybrid, and I'm not looking to argue. I just found the whole situation mildly amusing.
But don't they sometimes have special dedicated spots for bikes, too?
[–]jidery -8 ポイント-7 ポイント-6 ポイント 1 日 前
They certainly aren't necessary, but they do have the purpose. They save a TON of space and provide cars more places to park. 5 bikes can fit in the area that one car can. But I certainly have no problem parking my single bike in a car spot.
[–]NerdWith_A_Tan 9 ポイント10 ポイント11 ポイント 1 日 前
and i certainly have no problem bumping into and tipping over a smug owners bike parked in a single car spot when there are open bike spots near by.

You must be fun to go drinking with.

Teslas get 0 MPG.
