Han Solo Couldn't Get the Millenium Falcon Out of This
Note to builders, architects and strata busy-bodies:
The position this photo is taken from, is as far away from the back of the parked car as you can get if someone parks in the space behind. Let's run through this shall we?
See that pillar on the the left there, the one that pokes halfway into the visitors car-space? Yeah well that's perfectly ok, as long as you don't have to deal with a pillar... say... oh I dunno, half way down the space on the other side... oh fancy that.
This angle barely does the car-space justice. The width of the thoroughfare it backs onto is half a car length. This leads to interesting mathematical problems when it comes to inserting an object that is not actually flexible in the middle. It takes talent to design a car-space quite so unwelcoming to the visitor but they didn't stop there. Oh no.
It's not so pronounced in this picture, but you can partially see the effect. Wherever possible, the lights are set to avoid highlighting concrete coloured pillars that are standing in front of concrete coloured walls, in any meaningful way. A Dr Who episode will be shot in this carpark and he will crash the Tardis.

Is the car touching the right hand pole?
