You would think that cars that are not environmentally friendly would be given preferential treatment. The sooner a big SUV parks, the less impact they have. However, if a hybrid car drives around a parking lot for 20 minutes in an attempt to find a parking space, little harm is done.

It's not about who is a yuppie and who isn't, if yuppies even exist. It's about whether or not these signs really do anything, do they raise awareness? Or is it just so this facility can get enough points to become LEED certified. I know whole-heartedly that we need to care for the environment, I do what I can to reduce, reuse and recycle. But do these signs help people see that? I don't think they do. These signs caught me off guard. Will they cause other people to perhaps change their mind about the environment? I think not. I just don't think these signs are an effective way to raise awareness, just a lame attempt. to random,

A bit like No Smoking in bars. It might convince people that walking to the shops would be a more pleasant experience. However, I agree that it won't convince anyone to change their car.

I mean think about it, these fucking yuppie hybrid drivers get a special place to park, while I am now forced to park my honking SUV, sports coupe, or ever my fuel efficient sedan(!) an extra 2 spaces further from the door! Icing on the cake for sure. Great post Greg. You know these signs might actually make a lot of drivers really upset.
