Parking a la bilbaína

I live on the 10th floor of my apartment building, and I'm glad.

My building is surrounding by many others in a dense neighbourhood of mixed-use buildings--apartments upstairs and small businesses on the street level. If you have a car you park it in one of the deep, labyrinthine parking garages below most apartment buildings.

But not everyone's lucky enough to have underground parking. And parking street level is every man for himself. People park every which way, all over the place, double or triple parking, blocking others in, blocking the street. And if you come out and someone's car is blocking yours in, you lay on your horn with the hopes that the offending driver will come and remove their car. No matter what time of day. You keep honking...and honking... and honking..until...they... come...out...
