Life in the City, or Where do you park your car?

When I went to my first Homeowner's meeting a year or more ago someone was complaining about parking in the alleyways leading to our garages. Because there is a large school just a block away the street parking is very restricted to keep High Schoolers from making the residential block a parking lot. This also means however that homeowners have no place on the street to park during the week. Nor do maids and other service people. And at times when college is on break- Christmas and Spring and all summer- grown kids who come home for weeks at a time have no place to park. Except in the driveway.

The lady across the alley from me has an enormous bus size vehicle that she parks outside when her daughter visits.............here's why




That's the daughter's car in the garage and her monster boat outside. The garage is so full of sh-t that only one car can squeeze in there. Another homeowner complained about the eyesore saying that the garage is meant for cars not to be used as a store room.
Personally I'm hoping Pres Obama fixes this problem as well while he's fixing the economy.

Who cares what she keeps in her garage...but couldn't she at least keep the door closed so nobody has to look at it?!

Well she does keep the door closed. She must be ashamed of it the way she closes the door as quickly as poss after she's entered or departed.

Both of them seem to be cagey and surreptitious in there comings and goings as if they were not supposed to be out in the light of day too long.

Sad really.
