"It's not like the government is forcing you to buy a car!"
If you live in a city with parking minimums, yes they fucking are.

It's really funny how conservatives, who are supposed to be pro free market, anti governmental overreach support parking minimums - a concept that clearly is an example of governmental overreach.
Conservatives are pro small government and anti regulation only when it suits their agenda.
Don't confuse opportunistic conservatives with dogmatic libertarians. They form a coalition most of the time, but conservatives don't just sell the gun, they use it when they feel threatened in their ~~wealth~~ power.
you didn't make a distinction, dogmatic libertarians will happily shoot you to protect their money, fuck they will do it faster than the conservative, these fuckers wait for the day they get to go mad max
