Prefer this over a lot of the other Philly parking nonsense. It’s definitely better than assholes parking on corners or in crosswalks. The way “city leadership” pretends there’s no solutions for the glut of needed parking is the real bullshit, but also not worse than the “ban all cars” crowd.

I would have preferred the park in the open spot about 10 feet from there and walk the extra distance, but I'm a filthy pedestrian lover.

Parking on the sidewalk is and effective way to avoid enforcement here in Philly, that much so true. I'm an eternal optimist, though: I vaguely hope that that car wasn't on that sidewalk for more than the two hour non-resident limit.

Might not have been open when they parked there, and they might need to stay. Plenty of room for pedestrians there.

Nope; streets are for cars, sidewalks are for people. I learned that before I even went to kindergarten.

Except Philly has plenty of parking spaces on sidewalks.
