BMW i3

There are 3 BMW i3s taking up valuable street parking space on my block right now. Street parking is already difficult to come by and now all of these i3s--for a car-sharing pilot program--are making the problem worse. There are a total of 8 of the cars all parked within 2-3 blocks of my apartment 24/7. 

It's definitely a good move to use BMWs to appeal to all of the (hypothetically) car-less tech people moving into the area to work for Amazon and the tech sector. Between a nice BMW or a Smart Car aka golf cart, this demographic will pick the former to drive. But again, it's taking up valuable street parking space exclusively in my little corner of Belltown so I'm a little irritated at the moment.
