From the Statesman a few weeks ago; freedom to park considered equivalent to freedom of worship in Texas. Thanks to neighbor Jose for the tip:
The Texas Lawyer’s blog Tex Parte had an interesting item today about a Southwest Austin church suing the city over a parking lot permit. Leaders of Hope in the City, a 7-year-old nondenominational church, are claiming a burden on their “free exercise of religion”.
...
the city, citing environmental restrictions, has failed to issue the church a parking-lot-expansion permit
...
This parking lot space sits on sacred Austin ground: the Barton Springs watershed. This could turn into a holy war.
Yet
Barton Springs Eternal.

Moderation is on. Apologies for any delays.
Err on the side of politesse and understatement please.
Before you speak, ask yourself if what you have to say will improve on silence.
