    I’m trying to figure out why someone would care. The mall is mostly closed. Yeah, the dealership must have paid the lot owner, so I don’t see the problem.

    It’d be great if the ugly things didn’t exist, but since they do, they have to go somewhere.

      Often it comes down to liability and an attractive nuisance. Long term parked vehicles create cover for activities, while short term traffic has a flow of people.
