Car buying/parking..emulate the Chennai way

 Bangalore roads have become too clogged, thanks to the vehicle boom especially in the age of Nano's and similar cheap cars..the idea of why not another car is not a far fetched thought anymore..

The result of more cars on the street is that they need to be parked somewhere for 80-90% of the day!

PS Ram had reported earlier on the woes of pedestrians and residents when 'travels' ppl start parking  cars everywhere..making the roads impossible! How do we manage this??

Chennai has shown the way..now they are asking ppl to show the parking space to buy cars!

Bangalore should very soon start following this too..this will discourage buying of new cars..enforcement is difficult but not impossible!

Specifically we should be asking the travels owners to show parking for their fleet before they buy cars..will they bribe their way? still not 100% of them..should be gud enough to start with!
