#12What size should a parking spot be? Who should pay for a larger one? Over the last number of years, it feels like large vehicles have become more commonly used but most built infrastructure remains the same. I notice this at the city owned parking lot a couple blocks from my house - the whole thing becomes very difficult to navigate with the length and width of some modern pickup trucks/SUVs. It sounds like it's not…
Even "standard" cars have become bigger in past decades. In many countries the norms of width and length of parking spots have been updated. So it is not just pickups, but pretty much all cars outside very few models like maybe Smart.

No, parking spots should be made smaller and people should be prohibited from buying large vehicles unless commercially or otherwise necessary

If the original intent was to stop scalper (which I agree with), the agreement could have said “you’re not allowed to sell it for a profit. If you sell it at or below cost, you’re fine”.
then some would sell at the same price they bought plus their profit under the table.
Is that really the most pressing problem we should be tackling in the consumer law? Some people willing to pay more than retail for things they really want?

This creates artificial inflation for the cost of the product which does nobody any good.
Look back to the launch of the PS5 or the switch for a great example of what happens.

#18OK, I think that agreement may not fly in a sane court, but ...
1 year ? Did he divorce and move happen a week after buying the truck ? 1 year is not that long to wait. So, make arrangements to park in the back or visitors lot and take 2 spaces with the complex stating "on this date I will sell and get a regular car."
Or maybe even temporally swap the truck with a friend for the limited time.

Yes.
Signed: anyone who wants to go see Taylor Swift live.
(Serious answer: yes, but only when supply can’t keep up with demand to avoid people with capital abuse their position to create artificial scarcity. Examples: Tickets from certain artists, some particular consumer goods, houses being bought out by insurance companies, etc)

Sure, they raised the price, but I wouldn't call that artificial inflation. Isn't it more like, the launch price was artificially low, and the scalpers brought the price to the true market price?
