When you get visitors: what question do you dread the most? Can I sleep in your little bed and eat from your little plate would be comparatively harmless to my personal dread question that others can ask me. It's the question about - parking spaces. "Do you have parking"? is such the ghost train of all questions for me. Because, what can I say? No. Of course. Don't! I can't even find one myself most of the time with my small, handy city car. What am I supposed to tell my guests? I have two or three reserved for you, which I whip out of my pocket like Mary Poppins and pop open? You see, the parking frustration runs deep with me. But not completely without reason. The parking frustration has accumulated with me in years of painstaking detail work:
There is the wonderful arbitrariness of the parking ticket distributors, in the vernacular also affectionately called Ordnungsamt. If someone like me not only lives in a popular part of town, but also conveniently for commuters at a subway station, foot close to the party mile, then the situation is completely hopeless. So back to the regulatory office: we kindly have streets with sidewalks wide enough to comfortably fit a stroller through AND an automobile can park there. The crux of the regulation thing - you probably guessed it - is that the wonderful, wide sidewalk is not painted with white parking stripes. So as a parking space, it's not officially permitted, but widely tolerated. Is there actually a common law in Germany? Lawyers please report J So it happens that every Whitsun the office of public order marches past us and slams tickets on the windscreens. How does that make you feel? Bornheim is not even one of the districts with the highest density of cars. When I look at the numbers, the cars in the Westend and Gallus must be piled up on top of each other!
Other people dream at night of a holiday in the Caribbean or a villa with a swimming pool, I long for - residents' parking. Well, living in the city means learning humility for life. For my small, practical, city car, I don't even wish for the right to a parking space near my neighborhood clogged with commuters, guests partying in the district and neighbors. No, I'm begging the city to let me pay generously just for the teeny tiny chance at a little space. It even seems now that my dream might come true. But as the Chinese proverb says, "Be careful what you wish for!" Be careful what you wish for, because it could all end up being much worse than it currently is. Resident parking is supposed to come, but if you have a second car, residents will be treated the same as all out-of-towners, who will then pay and be allowed to park their mobiles in specially designated areas. Understand me right: measures yes, I am also for less cars in the city and will get me after this none more. But how unfair is that? If this regulation should become true I have however already a solution: I will simply ask my friend at the edge of the city whether I may park with her!
Where does it park itself in your opinion most badly? What does it look like in your neighborhood?
