Seems there is a parking problem in DC. quote:
Church-Goers Claim Right To Double-Park
POSTED: 3:36 pm EDT April 24, 2006
WASHINGTON -- In the nation's capital, where parking is scarce, churchgoers say plans to crack down on double-parking infringe on their religious rights.
Worshipers held a rally Sunday afternoon urging officials to let them continue a practice that has long been overlooked.
The D.C. Department of Transportation was planning to hand out warning tickets this weekend and real tickets starting in July, but officials now say they'll review the enforcement program.
Cars have commonly been double-parked near DC churches on Sundays for decades, but police had largely ignored the practice until neighbors complained.
At the rally, the church-goers blamed new high-rise developments.

I'm confused about two things.
1.) Why do they need to double park anyway?
2.) What the hell does double parking have to do with practicing Christianity? |

The parking situation in much of DC is only slightly less abominable than in NYC. I would think that these people are blocking in residents of apartment buildings nearby, who might be trying to get to their own services.
Solution: shut down all of the churches.
