Beemer driver tells BTD what they can do with their ticket

One ticket this week for an expired plate, then no tickets for almost 3 years prior.

Raise the fines for repeat violations. Obviously this entitled jerk thinks of fines as just the cost of doing business - when it starts costing $500 a pop, maybe he/she will think twice. Double parking and parking in bus stops makes the streets less safe for everyone.

Who don’t want to be associated with the BMW automobile drivers.

Nope. As much as you tell yourself that. Street space is limited and parked cars take up far too much space. It really is a direct trade off between bike lanes and car parking. See for example Somerville’s recent bike plan where they explicitly justify bike lanes in only one direction on two way streets out of a desire to preserve street parking. It really is a direct trade off so if you had to chose which is it? Should we use road space for safe bike routes that allow and encourage people of all ages and abilities to take a zero emissions mode of travel along with things like protected intersections, raised crosswalks, in lane bus stops, and curb bump outs or should we use road space for public storage of highly emitting private property?

There is a geometry issue when it comes to cars in cities and so as much as you want to say both, you ultimately can’t. So which do you really care about when it comes down to it?
