In a turn of events that has left political scientists scrambling to update their textbooks, a local town hall meeting in Oakdale yesterday actually resolved the issue it was meant to address.

The meeting, called to discuss parking problems in the downtown area, concluded after just 90 minutes with a practical solution that all parties agreed upon. No voices were raised, no insults were hurled, and remarkably, people listened to each other.

"I don't understand what happened," said longtime resident Gary Morrison. "We went in with a problem, discussed it like adults, and came out with a solution. Is that... legal?"

Political analyst Dr. Rebecca Walsh called the event 'statistically impossible' and has launched an investigation into whether the town's water supply might contain unusually high levels of common sense.

The solution—implementing a permit system for downtown parking while adding 50 new spaces—will be implemented next month. Residents are reportedly 'cautiously optimistic' while simultaneously expecting everything to fall apart at any moment.
