What makes you think someone parking on your street is an outsider, rather than a neighbor, or a guest of a neighbor who might very well pay property taxes in the same city you do?
- vorotato 10y agoWhen you live in a rural area, anyone parking near you is an outsider.
- nitrogen 10y agoSome cities charge taxes based on the number of feet of street connected to someone's yard. It seems perfectly logical that in such a city, the "right" to park should be greatest at one's own house, and fade with distance. So anyone from an apartment complex outside the neighborhood is an outsider, and should have less claim to the spot in front of a house than the house's owner. I also find it bizarre that some HN users (not you obviously since you can't downvote a direct reply) frequently downvote comments that provide a differing perspective from the anti-suburban anti-car view.
