[quote=Anonymous]You pull up to maximize how many cars can park on the street. I would never leave a gap between my car and the next car that wasn't big enough for a car to fit -- it's so rude! It's not like the ONLY people who ever park on the street are home owners. People have guests, contractors, nannies, etc. who might come and go, and having street parking available for those people is really helpful. I'd be annoyed if I had a plumber coming to fix something and they couldn't park on our block because my neighbors think they should be able to line the door of their car up with their front door. So selfish.

I was originally going to say "well, it depends on how tight parking is on your street" but then I thought about it and -- no, don't leave weird gaps in street parking. I've been in the situation too many times where I was looking for a spot somewhere I needed to be and there were all these weird 6-10 foot gaps around that are too small for a car but probably reduced the parking capacity on the street by several cars. I think people get used to doing this in the suburbs where there's lots of off street parking, but in a townhome neighborhood, it's not acceptable.[/quote]
