HEADS UP: MOVE YR PRIUS, YOU ENTITLED YUPS

A heads up from our buddies at Neighborhoodr: Park Slope -- "Bored To Death" will be filming in Slope(ish area) on Tuesday, April 20th (stop your 420 giggling, you people are supposed to be adults).

Now, I'm not telling you this so you can skip work and go squeal and hold up signs to celebrate your Jonathan Ames fandom (though I know some of you have already opened up your mail clients to tell your bosses that your clairvoyant self sees an elephant stampede rendering you unable to attend work on Tuesday).  Rather, I'm giving you the FYI because if your car is parked on Bergen between Fifth and Sixth, your ass will be illegally parked on Tuesday.  And I know, from this hilarious sign, that some of you won't be moving your hippie-mobiles until alternate side strikes:

"People who park here don’t necessarily live on this block & won’t see these signs. They will believe they are legally parked until 7:30am on Tues. If you care as you say you do about inconveniencing the neighborhood you wouldn’t wait until 3 days prior to put up signs. A minimum of one week so people would see it when they parked would be considerate."

I would comment on the above, but transportation blogger ohhleary seems to have taken the reigns on that one.  From the dude's blog (he lives in the East Village, BTW, control your hissing):

"The sense of entitlement that people have when using public space to park their private machines borders on hilarious.  If you’re parked here until Tuesday and don’t even as much as visit your car, you’re an asshole. People in Park Slope have no reason to own cars, as the neighborhood is serviced by TWELVE SUBWAY LINES...If you own a car and park it on the streets paid for by taxpayer dollars (not car owner’s dollars, taxpayer dollars. I pay for that street even though I don’t own a car), you have a responsibility to learn when you can and cannot park there. The parking space is not yours. It belongs to everyone."

Alright, y'all, now that you've moved your cars--who's right on this one?  This dude who thinks we're entitled, yuppie fucks (this may or may not be true, regardless of its relevance to the issue at hand), or your fine, car-owning selves who just need a place to rest yr pretty getaway vehicle?
