The Parking Chair. A Life Hack Straight Out Of Boston.

Kenneth Coo Published 01/26/2016 in wow

It seems this city has more to offer than witches and being in a computer game.

1.
A parking chair is a chair that is used by a vehicle owner to informally mark a parking space as reserved for oneself.
2.
In Boston,this is the city's official policy...
3.
... BUT! You can ONLY claim a spot this way if you shoveled out yourself!
4.
This practice is especially common in Boston (also seen in Pittsburgh, and Chicago).
5.
Former Mayor Tom Menino enacted the official rules that are still in effect today: space savers can remain in a shoveled spot for up to 48 hours after a city-declared snow emergency. “If you use manual labor to get your car out, I think for 48 hours, a couple days, you can have it,” said Mayor Marty Walsh. “But they don’t own it."
6.
While chairs are the traditional "space saver", the people of Boston can get creative.

What do you think? It seems fair that if you shovel a whole lot of snow you can hog that spot for some time; but not too long, let's be civilized, mind you.
