Scott Maucione , WYPR; Baltimore ponders the ethics of saving parking spots as snow lingers
"During a snow storm, parking can verge on a moral crisis. What if the person taking a spot or reserving a spot has a broken leg or is eight and a half months pregnant, or just needs to make a quick trip to the store.
But much like the Wild West, it’s vigilante justice in the world of frozen city streets.
Emily Heleba waited all week to shovel her car out. Now half way through the job, she has no hopes she’ll actually be able to keep the spot.
“I've seen a lot of stories of people who do that, and then their neighbors come out and throw their chairs out and steal the spot anyway,” Heleba said.
So, until the snow melts, the parking wars will continue."
