What? She is a homeowner but doesn't have a garage or a driveway? What kind of "home" does she own, anyway?

**************************************************
I can park two cars in my garage and six in my driveway, ‘course I don’t live in a big city, just a small town in fly over country.
Spoken like someone who hasn't gotten off the shopping streets in a city. Most of the older row houses in cities, the bungalows, built in the '20s through the '40s, back on an alley, with the garage. That alley is filled 6 feet high with drifted snow, and is only one car width wide. If your car was in the garage, you won't drive it until Spring. The city is NOT going to plow your alley, since there is no place to push the snow. They could use a front end loader, and a dump truck, but there are hundreds of miles of alleys, one bucket full at a time.
You were far seeing enough to move your car to out front of your house. After the snow stopped, you were out there with the garden spade, the kitchen broom, and the snow shovel that broke 10 minutes in, until you found your car. You missed an entire morning's work, digging. If the plow has been thru, you had to move twice as much snow. If the plow came thru after, you get to do it all again, twice. Now, after that much work, you sort of have an investment in that space. You put that raggedy chair from the basement in the spot, two hours later, some jerk, (And I use the term since your actual reference is banned in 47 countries.), has parked in it.
I'm for Savsies, and gunfire is a logical response to violating it.
