Hobart is well endowed with car parks. Argyle Street Car Park, Argyle Street. January 2011.

Hobart is indeed well endowed with car parks. We have more car parks than you can poke a stick at. We have so many car parks, that people never stop complaining that we don’t have enough car parks. The problem with car parks, you see, is that you build car parks and more people get a car to park. The more people with a car to park, the more car parks we need. Then, the more car parks there are, more people get a car that they need to park. Therefore, you build more car parks. So you build more car parks, and even more people will get a car that they need to park.

There’s a kind of witchcraft at work, and not even the first law of thermodynamics can stop it.
