LIFE IS A MISERABLE CONUNDRUM ----->
The worst part is that it wasn't really even parked illegally. I had to park it WAY up the hill about 12 blocks from my house to find a spot that was free of street cleaning restrictions and not in the special permit parking zone. (For which I cannot obtain a permit, by virtue of the fact that I live 20 feet north of the edge of the zone.) I went out of town for a week, and while I was gone, the paranoid $900,000 home people up the hill REQUESTED a tow. (By the way, their address is 1650 Shrader, San Francisco CA. 94117.)
