Should Brookes students be allowed to have cars?

I've personally never had a problem with parking, in the daytime or
otherwise; in fact many of the streets around where I live are completely
barren of cars after 9AM.
There's a bit of confusion as to "keeping cars" (relating to parking permits
in Oxford) and traveling from outside.
As to keeping cars, I find the phrase "lesser citizens with fewer rights" a
bit galling. An HMO with multiple cars owned by students is exempt from
council tax. Pay the same rates as the rest of us, get the same rights.
