[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]If you aren’t parking with the goal of allowing as many people to park in the area as possible, you’re a jerk. Plain and simple. If parking closest to your house was a priority, you’d live in a place where you have a garage, a driveway or a dedicated spot.

Street parking is not just for those who live in the houses. It is for the neighborhood, and that does include shops, restaurants and businesses. I’m glad that people in my SW neighborhood get that. We need our restaurants, coffee shops, businesses and local points of interest to help our neighborhood thrive. What we can do is park in ways that allow for people to live AND visit our neighborhood as comfortably and conveniently as possible. [/quote]

So if there are a lot of open spots, do you always choose to park as close to another car as possible regardless of distance to your destination? [/quote]

If there are lots of open spots, I park as close as I can to allow as many cars as possible around me. Let’s say my destination was in the middle of a block. I’d still move up or down the street to “pair up” with another car, which makes it much easier for other cars to file in, rather than take a middle spot. I’m not talking about going blocks out of your way here, people. But form a line and make it orderly, don’t just park like a dumbass in the middle of an open block for no reason.[/quote]
