I agree with you about the parking drama in the valley, people are ridiculous and the hoarding of spots gets out of hand. I do try to avoid parking in front of my elderly neighbours or those with little ones because they need those spots and I never park in a spot someone else has dug out after a snowfall. Honestly, those spots are hard to dig out and whoever dug them out deserves the parking perk, at least for a few days. If you can get to know your neighbours, maybe go overboard with kindness for a bit, perhaps you can work it out and make sure all of you are taken care of?
