Hammond Residential is offering a deeded parking space for only $55,000. It's in a nice lot, well lit, plowed in the winter and all, but, gosh, why is it so much cheaper than spaces in Back Bay and Beacon Hill - especially since "This is the ONLY PARKING FOR SALE IN BROOKLINE?" Makes you wonder what else is wrong with the town.

A perplexed citizen notes conflicting parking signs on Beacon Hill:

The resident parking sign at the corner of River and Chestnut was recently modified to say "7am-7pm", with an arrow pointing forward. But the next sign has an arrow pointing backwards that says "7PM - 7AM". The two signs conflict with each other, creating a very confusing situation.

A concerned citizen reports the same commercial vehicle from a Brookline business keeps parking in a resident-permit spot on Cummings Road in Brighton:

This will be the fourth time in 2 weeks this brookline car has parked and been ticketed in residential permit area. Boot them!

The city responds, however, it is powerless to stop this parking fiend:

Vehicle is tagged it is a non towable violation and as long as they pay there tickets we do not boot.
