When I lived in NJ we had to drive to the commuter station. Every block within about 3 blocks of the station was restricted to 1 hour parking. So, naturally, every street spot on the next few blocks was taken by commuters. (The lot held about 10 cars, so that was not an option.) The neighbors whose houses we parked in front of got really annoyed. Personally, I tried to park in front of a different house every day, so I didn’t bother the same person. However, I could never understand why some of them got as angry as they did – if you’re going to live near something busy, be it a bus or train or ferry or a church or restaurant, you need to expect that people will park there. It’s like saying you don’t like the sound of the fire alarm when you live next door to the fire station.
