[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]The reason we have these sign are people like you who take up the parking in front of our houses.  [/quote]

I am from Virginia and was invited to a coffee at a home in Bethesda. One of the Mom's at my daughter's private was hosting. I drove onto her street and all the parking was off-limits. She had to cram us all into her driveway like it was a freakin' rock concert.

I live in Great Falls. Trust me when I tell you some folks here have more money than God (not me - HA  :) ) We do not have this attitude. I have alo seen three cars pull off the road simultaneously to rescue someone's loose dog on a busy road - not one of us was going to let that dog get hit. The person who got to the dog first, checked the tags and loaded the pup in her truck to take back to the owners. That's how we function here.

I will take the commute rather than live in a 'moat' town.[/quote]

Great Falls is comparable to Potomac not Bethesda. Bethesda has an urban center, retail that draws people from a broad area, office buildings, and metro. Great falls has a small shopping center. Not sure why the dog has to do with it. Did you off someone's dog while you were over here?[/quote]

Didn't say it was comparable. Said that I found it ridiculous that on a residential street with large homes and ample land per home, that one could not park along the street. It was well into the neighborhood and not near the urban center.  Given that, I'd rather live out here and not deal with that kind of nonsense.

When I cross the bridge, three things hit me:

1) the amount of street beggars. Even in nearby Sterling and Herndon, I see one on occasion, not the three on what seems like every street corner in some areas. I've seen them in Potomac as well.

2) the 'where the freak am I going to park' quandary when visiting friends

3) the way pedestrians walk directly behind your car as you are in the middle of backing up out of a parking space and the dirty looks they shoot you.
