When I lived in Winooski (hey, I got out) we could only park in the driveway, never on the lawn. When winter came (and the street parking ban) I had to park the second car at a nearby business.
We have a pretty sensible town here in central Vermont. When a woman on the selectboard started complaining about cars parked by the side of the road and urged that they should be towed, she ended up getting voted off the select board.
It’s the flatlanders moving in and trying to pull up the drawbridge after them who cause most of the trouble.
