I love to complain about other people’s parking, even as my own skills seem to be deteriorating. If you spot a notably shoddy attempt, tag @SitelineSB or email or text it to [email protected] or 917-209-6473. (Part 1 is here.)
The Montecito Country Mart remains the epicenter of privileged parking. Then again, pulling through just the right amount is really hard.
Better to just leave your car wherever the hell you want.

Nor is Goleta. Bonus points for blocking a hydrant!
Drivers of big-ass vehicles often feel entitled to more than one space.
Three is actually kind of impressive.
It might be preferable to this. A tip: whenever you get out of your car, check to see that you haven’t blocked the way…
…or the road.

I still view where the red Lexus is as a valid parking space despite the Country Mart taking it away and I have no issue with people parking there!
They don’t deserve to have their license plates covered up. Shame them!
I welcome this as a regular feature on Siteline. 🤣 It won’t change a thing, but at least it’s entertaining.
There was a great episode of Curb where Larry is forced to park incorrecty because of other cars then those move and he is shamed for bad parking. So 😁
