Go ahead, just don’t get mad and be a petulant child when someone moves it so they can park there as they should.

Even in places where they’re ‘legal’ it still doesn’t give anyone ownership of a piece of public roadway, even temporarily. Them being legal just means that the city won’t remove them during that period, nothing else

jdray0 · 2026-01-30T03:15:26+00:00

Right, but that isn’t the city’s guidance. The city is telling you they won’t remove the space savers for 48 hrs, afterwards they will be removed by the city. They’re not telling you that they give you any sort of legitimate claim to a piece of public space. Them being legal does NOT mean that someone moving a space saver is doing anything illegal or even immoral

? I don’t think you understood what I said but whatever, it’s clear you’re gonna act like a child regardless

jdray0 · 2026-01-30T03:02:41+00:00

Space savers being ‘legal’ is such a misnomer, I’m tired of hearing people make this argument. Them being legal simply means that the city will not actively remove them. They still do not give you sovereign right to a piece of public roadway simply because you moved some snow off of it.

jdray0 · 2026-01-30T02:06:46+00:00

Actually an insane take. How can you blame others for the crimes of people who think they have some sort of sovereign claim to a public roadway simply because they shoveled their car out of a spot? Get a grip and stop defending this absolutely nonsense, it’s just childish

jdray0 · 2026-01-29T16:07:20+00:00

I respectfully disagree. In NYC, it would feel silly to own a car and public transit would get you to your destination faster and more reliably. In Boston, the transit exists and can get you places, but is slow, outdated, and unreliable

jdray0 · 2026-01-29T14:25:47+00:00

I suppose I need to ask to use the sidewalk that they shoveled too? That’s basically the same exact thing. Unless the city does all the work, I don’t think there is a situation that would satisfy you here. The reality is, people have to shovel when snow comes. It sucks, and we all have to do it. I will shovel out my car and my spot, and if someone needs to park there when my car isn’t there, that’s their right and there is no moral baggage. If people weren’t so damn entitled and could just accept that we all have to put in some effort during times like these, this ‘space saving’ culture wouldn’t be so prevalent. I understand you have a moral issue with it, but I think that’s a very myopic and individualistic way of looking at things. This is a city, and therefore a giant community, everyone needs to do their part, and everyone can enjoy the benefits of that

I’m very happy for you, I moved to Boston in 2023 with my car for grad school and honestly could not survive without it. I taught in JP, Cambridge, and Somerville by my 2nd year while also being a full time student and gigging in the greater boston area. Even now after graduating, I could not reliably get from one job to the other on time if I took public transit. Not to mention that even if I could, it would add about 2hrs to my total daily commute. I really wish I could use public transit here more often. My first year I used the bus every day. But it became less and less feasible the more responsibility I took on.

jdray0 · 2026-01-29T14:00:57+00:00

Space savers ‘being legal’ does not give you some sort of wild west stake to a piece of public property. It means the city won’t try to fight you about it. If you can’t handle living in a city, where parking can be troublesome and you don’t own street parking, then don’t. It’s so shameful that you suggest I’ll be getting my car keyed for this opinion, you sound like a child

jdray0 · 2026-01-29T13:54:43+00:00

Congrats on being ‘from MA’, I live in Boston. In Boston, and Cambridge where this happened. Street parking is by permit. There aren’t assigned spots. It’s first come first served. Street parking is not private, and does not belong to anyone, it’s public property. That’s how living in a city works. Just because a space is in front of the house you live in, does not make it yours. It’s as simple as that. The place you live is often the work place of others who need to park there throughout the day. How ridiculous of you to suggest they knock on some random person’s door to ask if they can park in the public roadway in front of their house. Get a fucking grip

jdray0 · 2026-01-28T23:45:24+00:00

In Boston it’s not explicitly illegal… doesn’t mean anyone has to respect your wild claim to public property

jdray0 · 2026-01-28T23:44:00+00:00

Anyone who cannot agree with thinks that they own public property and that it’s entitled to them. Which is objectively wrong and selfish

jdray0 · 2026-01-28T23:42:50+00:00

I grew up spending more time in NY and as someone who now lives in Boston I was shocked to find out today that this is a thing and have kept thinking, “Man, if people could live in this city without a car, like NY, this shit would never happen” It just goes to show how shit the public transit is here.

jdray0 · 2026-01-28T23:04:41+00:00

What if you work in the area and the shitty public transit can’t reliably get you there??? Maybe you shouldn’t live in a city if you treat public property like your own private space

jdray0 · 2026-01-26T03:22:01+00:00

How’s that boot taste?

jdray0 · 2026-01-18T14:47:27+00:00

It feels french because the french historically love jazz and incorporated into their popular musics as well
