Parking lots that have sacrificed size of spots for number of spots

Now, this issue may be more prevalent in cities such as Los Angeles, because there are so many cars and not enough parking spots to go around. However, I’m sure that all car owners have been to at least one parking lot in their car driving lives where the line painters wanted to install as many parking spots as possible, and in doing so, made the spots extremely small. So small that I can’t squeeze out of my car without the door touching and possibly dinging the passenger door on the car to my left. So small that I assume I’ll get a door ding on my passenger side door because the driver on that side has the same issue. And people in Los Angeles, at least on the Westside, are not big, mind you.

What would have been the harm if the line painters had sacrificed at least one spot per row, if not two or three, to alleviate this headache? Less door dings all around. Perhaps this is all a conspiracy between the parking lot line painters and auto body shop owners to generate as much auto body work (and money) as possible.  

Parking lots that have sacrificed size of spots for number of spots: Ideally supposed to help us park more cars in a given lot, in actuality causing more car door dings and unnecessary body work.

Let’s start a petition to re-paint such parking lots, starting with my 24 Hour Fitness parking lot at 31^st and Ocean Park in Santa Monica. Who’s with me?!
