If your in a rural area this isn't really an issue anyways. In the rural area I grew up in most people didn't have to deal with driving around looking for parking spots on a daily basis. They either had driveways at their houses or the concentration of people just wasn't that high to make it much of a problem.

You could donate the chairs to Goodwill.

That's cool. I like imagining what it took to break the table.

Man I feel you now.

There isn't much of it over in my part of lakeview (its all apartments and so crowded that nobody would stand for it and there would be no neighborhood solidarity to enforce it)...but I was walking down a residential street in ravenswood last night and saw so many damn spots with shit in them that I just wanted to let the spots run free!

I moved my car for the first time this week. Hadn't driven it since the Christmas Blizzard. I love where I live. I have access to everything and not have to worry about moving my car. This week the mayor began enforcing alternate side parking (where they clean/clear the side of the street). Eventhough I moved my car, my block wasn't cleaned. Asshole.

I'm pretty much a lifetime Southerner, so I still don't quite get this. Are you guys digging out your own cars, say in the morning, driving to work, and using the chair to hold the spot until you come back 8 or 10 hours later?

For what it's worth I live in Denver part of the year, so we get some heavy snows sometimes, but I've never heard of this happening out there.

I can sort of see being pissed if I dug out a space in front of my single-family home on a quiet street and somebody took it, but it seems like on a street with lots of multi-family/walkups/apartment buildings and very limited parking opportunities, this chair thing is an invitation to trouble.
