That spot hardly even appears
That spot hardly even appears to have been cleared. It's already sticking out from the curb two more feet than the spot in front of it, and unless the General Lee is being parked there the driver would need another 18" just to exit the car.

Roslindale snow chairs, 2004.
At the same time, however, there are definitely more people saving spaces in my section in remotest Roslindale than even just a couple years ago. Not sure why, especially on streets (like ours) that typically have more spaces than cars (at least, before the snow).
Those smart cars are so cute!
