the crazy thing is that most of those ppl can't really afford to own cars.

sounds like it was more of a turf dispute than over a parking place..... sad but stupid things happen

On my block, I was one of the only people who shoveled out the space in front of my house. This was a Herculean task after the snowplow came through.

It annoyed me when people parked in my space. I just put a note on their windshield. That worked.

My ex-husband was infuriated by an out-of-town woman who parked her giant RV in front of his house from June to September. For three years. As an artist, Terry was sensitive to aesthetics. Talking with her didn't work.

"I don't want to look at that ugly RV!" Terry fumed. "That's where my friends park."

"Call the city," I suggested. "I believe people cannot park for more than two weeks in one spot." I was right.

Terry called and complained. First the RV owner got a parking ticket with a warning. Then it was towed.
