More of a nightmare, really. I dreamt that I left my town in my car which was parked virtually outside my door; it's so great these days, I never struggle to find parking where I live. I went to Valletta but alas, unlike home, there was no place to park, because I am not a resident of our capital. Better luck next time, I thought, and I drove off to visit my friend in Vittoriosa. But I couldn't park there either because the local council had decided to allow only residents to park in Vittoriosa. I thought I'd unwind over a drink by the sea in St Paul's Bay, but having driven there, I had no place to leave my car either because the available spots were only to be occupied by the residents of St Paul's Bay.

Well I thought I'd ask a couple of friends to watch the match with me at home but, guess what, my friends couldn't visit because parking in Sliema is reserved only for residents of Sliema.

Suddenly, to my great relief I woke up to find that I was only dreaming.

Or was I seeing the future? Indeed, what will happen when every locality reserves it's parking spaces for its residents?

Then we only use our car to go on non-stop rides around Malta and back home.

Or else... we dispose of our cars and use our enviable public transport instead. Now imagine how clean Malta would be, totally free of exhaust emissions. I can't wait. Or am I dreaming again?
