I don't think it will make you feel any better but I routinely see people who work at the Eliot upper school park just like this except they do so in a way that forces pedestrians into the street.

Repeated 311 reports every time I walked by and the parking like that seems to have gotten the message through. Now they just park in the no parking areas of the road.

It is crazy the audacity and selfishness that some people display.
