⚡️🇺🇸 NEW - Los Angeles man known as the 'Cone King' says he has removed 5000 illegal cones from the streets that residents use to reserve parking.

Joey Morales says he has been working to get illegal cones off the streets since 2023.

The vigilante parking enforcement officer now receives requests from people to have parking cones removed that people use to reserve parking.

"A lot of people would say it's a Karen move. It is, but at the end of the day, you can't pick up a public parking spot and assume that because it's in front of your house, it belongs to you."

Well, never dealt with that before, but I just can’t help but think it would be too easy to set a booby-trapped cone. I’m thinking a stink-bomb

Anybody doing anything to clean up the streets and help others? Yes.

Now IF he is clearing it for a Winnebago to park on the shoulder for three weeks we are going to have some words. 🤣

The bigger picture is, parking is a weird sort of "socialism" in American cities. We all expect the government to mandate access to it, and a sort of "tragedy of the commons" emerges as a result.

Do that in Chicago, after people ‘claim’ the spot they spent an hour shoveling out, they might find you in the river.

Lol one time I had someone try to claim the spot I shoveled, throw that persons cone as far as I could!!!

‘Bitcoin & golf’.

One of the descriptions on Nostr!

Doesn't everyone have dozens of traffic cones?

The local government just leaves them on the road after doing road maintenance.

They're free to take, nobody will stop you.
