Parking dilemmas

In my area, they actually treat motorcycles like royalty (surprisingly). Many times there’s up front parking designated for motorcycles only and no cost at all. If there’s no designated parking, many times people will park on the sidewalk up against the building. As long as it’s not in the way of people walking, police don’t seem to mind. Parking for cars is very difficult so I think the police tend to look the other way since it leaves open spaces for cars to park.
