I lived right off of Alki Ave for a few years and parked in mostly the same spot on Alki Ave because there was no parking at my building. At one point I received a note (written in a friendly tone) on my windshield saying that the residents of the place I parked right outside of would like me not to park there anymore because it was a convenient spot for them due to rain and groceries, etc.
I stopped parking on that side of the street after I received the note, but it was very frustrating. I wasn’t just some random beach visitor (which seemed apparent because of my “repeat offending”), it was the closest I could get to my apartment — and I had to carry groceries in the rain sometimes, too! At the time I wished I could talk to whoever had left the note to explain it was just as inconvenient for me to park somewhere else than it was for them — but of course I wasn’t sure who it was, and I knew they’d assume I was just an arrogant asshole if I kept parking there.
If the same happened today, I wouldn’t have changed my habits. If the spot was open, I would park in it, if it wasn’t, I’d park somewhere else. It was Alki Ave, for pete’s sake.
