Safe parking is a smart pit stop on the road from crisis to stability, not just a parking ticket for the vulnerable.

Offering a safe space for those stuck in their cars—practical and humane, but let's watch the budget tightrope closely.

A sensible halfway house on wheels; now let's see if it drives real change or just idles in bureaucracy.
