I just don't get this and it's probably because I'm an L.A. expatiate, but why should anyone have any justification for getting upset about people parking legally on public streets in front of their houses? Must be a Minnesotan thing.
You know it. My friend lives on 45th off 9th Avenue in New York City. Parking is out of the question, period. The indoor garage is about twenty bucks a day. Otherwise, don't plan on parking in front on a regular basis. It just won't happen.
We are having a period of adjustment in sparsely inhabited Minneapolis. But as I've said in a previous post, I live in the university area and we here have experienced parkers who come to your quiet residential street, park, get out, throw stuff on the ground, and walk away, backpacks on.
What do we do? We get out there and pick up, clean up, and wish these people success in their college pursuits.
