Watch out... I put a parking lot around a building then had people
squawking because "parking lots are only places where the public can
park, or you can pay to park".

I drew an outline around a church where the parking stalls were
located, and that caused a little kerfuffle. All those parking stalls
around the church where parishioners can park aren't parking stalls to
some. I'm not sure what they are, but there were a few people getting
their feathers ruffled about it.
