If the city wants to recognize "parking in a free spot in front of someone's house when there is a free spot, covered in snow, in front of the car owner's house

If the city wants to recognize "parking in a free spot in front of someone's house when there is a free spot, covered in snow, in front of the car owner's house" as a legitimate problem then the city should codify it into law and enforce it. Otherwise, it's totally legal for someone in the government, say the police chief, to clear his street of cars right before his holiday party so that his guests have parking. Or for a person to harass neighbors they don't like. Why you want to have a legal system that allows for such abuse is beyond me.
