But in the burbs, I think it’s okay to park in a cleared space temporarily but not overnight. Like if I take my kid for an afternoon play date, I will park in a cleared space on their street if it’s vacant and not blocked. But I wouldn't park overnight in someone’s cleared space near my house.


Don't do it! We spent 3 plus hours digging our cars out. If I run to the store, I'm going to need that spot back. We don't have a driveway and rely on street parking!
.

But what if someone else on your block also ran to the store and their spot was gone because someone on the next block also ran to the store and THEIR spot was gone? I mean if everyone is driving to work and to the store then parking is free game again. Sorry. We all dug spots out, how do you think we are all driving around? Because we dug our cars out, right?


Just because someone does you a bad turn, you do it others?

I don't get this logic because if 10 people did out their cars and one of them gets their spot taken, someone is going to be out of luck. By taking a neighbors spot if this happens to you, you're just deciding it won't be you. you see why that's kind of sh**ty, right?


No, because once everyone is back to school and work and popping out to the store for an hour, then the snow emergency is over, and everyone just takes whatever spot is most convenient to them when they return home, just like every other day of the year. And yes it means some people will be closer to their front doors than they were before, and some people will be further away, and some people will really get the shaft and have to go park in metered parking a quarter mile away for a few hours and come back and circle the block later. Just like every. other. day. of. the.year.


No, because not all spots are the same. The space I cleared for my sedan is not the same as a space your SUV or truck rolled out of. You can get into the spot I cleared, but I can't get into yours. Clear your space well and thoroughly, and we wouldn't have this issue.


There is no “my space” once you leave. It’s called public parking. Good lord. How entitled are you?


What? You think you're entitled to a spot I put hours in to clear?

I think you need to check yourself - you're the entitled one. Once again, clear your own spaces well, and no one would need to save a space.


You are definitely entitled. Demanding public parking space belongs to you because you shoved snow is as Karen as it gets.


Not surprising that a selfish jerk who thinks they are entitled to take what someone else created with the sweat of their own brow is also a mysogynist.



Don't bother with the MAGA man who thinks the work of others is his for the taking.


DP here. Give it up, you sound deranged. It's not your spot and you know it.

Our street is also near a Metro and a few schools and retail. Sometimes people park here who don’t live here. We all have chairs in our spaces and will till the snow melts. Visitors will need to dig out their own spots.


Hilarious. I’d move that chair so fast it would make your head spin.


Have you?


I haven’t had the need to so no. But I most definitely would.

Ok internet muscles. Lol. You wouldn’t.

Eh, not really. The forecast is very fluid right now (could even be more!, but not likely)
