“We have a car, and my daughter has a car.”
You have one house on the block, but two cars? I think we should pass a law, one car per home, why should you have a right to take up more parking spaces than homes you own on the block?
So, what it really boils down to is that in general, snow or no snow, you live on a block that many people come and look for parking every day and you have to compete with them day in and day out. Compounding your frustration is that some of those people dont respect others and hog two spots. Your frustration is further compounded when it snows and parking becomes that much more difficult. Despite your frustration, you are not guaranteed a parking space on your block. If you wish to guarantee yourself a spot work with the local politicians to institute residential parking only. Perhaps have one or two handicapped spots created and get a permit. Your age and/or physical limitations are a) not known to everyone who passes through and is looking for parking and b) does not guarantee you a parking space unless it is a clearly designated spot and you have a permit to park in such a space. This doesnt mean people should be mean, but that is entirely different than “I shoveled it, its mine”. Perhaps if you tried a different approach and appealed to the mench in people you might be pleasantly surprised.
“I don’t want to be moser on them.”
For what it is worth, I have asked my own Rav and was told this is not being “moser”.
Your last parapgraph only reinforces our disagreement. It is not your spot or your neighbors spot. Your frustration will simply grow for as long as you live in a highly trafficked area.
