I’m sure it’s done in other cities too. But Pittsburgh is famous for “parking chairs”. Respect the chair!

“”HAHAHA. I have family in Palo Alto. While driving down El Camino Real there are miles and miles of RVs..... It is especially enjoyable seeing them clog up the street outside of Stanford University.””

There are quite a few people who work in and around Stanford University, Stanford Hospital, etc who cannot afford to live there. Some of those RVs are those workers. They and their families live much farther away, and use their RVs instead of a ridiculous, daily commute. They go home on their days off.

I so agree. All are Cultural Marxists, where they consider each other to be part of swarms to rule, submit, or be eradicated. Provides weapons and come by weekly to carry off the bodies as they decide which group they belong to.

When I was a kid, we had a 2 foot plus snowfall. My Dad dug out his vehicle to get to wotprk and came home to find our next door neighbor (an attorney) had parked in the spot. Dad asked him to move, he refused. Dad told him he had two choices, move or get out in the spring when the ice finally thawed. Car was moved. After a few more less than friendly interactions, the attorney moved.

Good point, they are in the street and need to be removed.

On street parking is first come first served. It’s a bummer when you are the first person on the block to shovel out and drive somewhere but that’s life. The person who parked in the spot you cleared also obviously had gotten his car out as well, and the spot he had worked hard to clear was probably taken by someone else.

The best solution is to leave your car as is and take alternative transportation. Of course, that requires living in a neighborhood actually having options. And the city clearing the main streets enough that the busses run.

Or move to the sunbelt.

True, but if you take advantage of what others have done, those others are incentivized to dig their car out and immediately fill the spot back in with snow to let the next "first come first served" person dig it back out.

doesn’t anyone know where to get a “snow curtain”? you know, a curtain that looks like snow is covering the spot you just dug out but is easy to move. I can dream. maybe temu carries them?
