Been living in this new place for a few months now and wow it’s crazy trying to find parking. My place has 8 apartments with 3 beds each so it’s pretty much a 24 person place. We only have a 12-spot parking lot so overflow has to parallel park on the street which is its own special kind of hell.
I have a weird schedule, so there’s been times I leave at 10 or 11 pm to go fill my car up with gas, notice the parking lot is full, and then I come back and my spot was taken by a car I saw parked on the street. Who has the time to do this shit at these weird hours? Just today I took out the trash and went to move my car from the street because I saw the lot was very empty, then when I finally drove to the lot there were 5 more cars there. I had only been gone for like 5 minutes!

It’s weird that the parking places aren’t assigned to each lot, no?
I agree it is a little weird.
Live in a big city? Someone might be getting paid to move cars.
Don’t live in a big city? Is it the same car that is moving? It might be another tenant that is also frustrated with the parking situation and happened to see that the spot is open. Even if it isn’t the same car, they still might be tenants.
I don’t like parking on the street, makes me paranoid, I’m not sure if I hate it enough to move my already parked car though.
How far is your commute? It might be worth finding cheap parking semi near your apartment and getting a bike if you’re within a few miles of work
Unfortunately with my current situation I have to drive for my job. I’ve considered other work but in my situation I’m making more than enough money at this job. It requires my car.
Otherwise I might get a bike. There’s no free parking in my city though that you can park at indefinitely. You gotta move it after 72 hours or you get fined, or you pay hourly at some lots.
Could some of them also be on weird schedules? There maybe some who do lie in wait at their windows, but someone running similar errands to your own would chance upon those openings too, at times.
