Read the article. The primary point is activism. This isn't about money or saving costs at all. In fact the only mention of price was to pay the hourly parking rate, there's no mention of anyone collecting or making any other money on it. There's no formal system here, just some inspired activism to make a point about how much space is devoted to parking.

I believe that my stance still stands.

Say a lot of people join the bandwagon and become activists in this manner. Or even that, say someone is thinking that this is actually a great idea and starts buying up Parkmobile spots to.

Sitting in a parking lot, no matter what the cause or circumstance is, is a recipe for disaster.

Its still a highly unsafe thing to do.

You are correct. However sometimes activists choose to risk their personal well-being to bring attention to issues or to make their point. I wouldn't worry about this becoming a normal thing.

The concerns you raise are about the practicality of this stunt. However the practicality of it is irrelevant to the purpose and not the point.
