Trial began today for Carmen Andino, 40, and her daughter Shey Carrasquillo, 19, on charges they stabbed a neighbor on McGreevey Way on Jan. 11, 2010 in a dispute over, among other things, the table they allegedly used to save a parking space after a snowstorm, the Suffolk County District Attorney's office reports.
Innocent, etc.

You don't mess with somebody's parking space saver
after a snow storm. That's like wearing a hoodie in a Florida gated community.
too soon...
too soon...
Definitely too soon
But i cant say i didn't laugh
Stuff like this
...makes Tokyo's policy of not having street parking, and requiring "proof of off-street parking" for every car registered, seem extremely wise.
Allowing parking-entitletards to claim public land for private, heavily subsidized usage just leads to perverse scenarios like this stabbing.
I lost count of how many times I've heard NIMBYs come out and complain about new development because "they're going to fill up the street parking." As if those assholes had private property rights to the spaces. This kind of attitude leads to some extremely anti-urban policies, such as parking minimums, which tear the city apart and force people to drive even more.
Logical inconsistency?
I'm not that you mean it in this way, but wouldn't a ban on street parking lead to higher parking minimums?
No, not in Tokyo, anyway
