Graduation night capitalism

Sunnyvale, California

They needed parking spaces. I had parking spaces. They were happy to pay.

Editor: I dropped by my parents' place to water plants while they were on a trip. Their
street, next to a high school, was uncharacteristically barren. Aha! This was graduation
night! I recalled the pattern from past years: Kids get out early on one Thursday every
June, the streets become empty, then long lines of drivers circle around for an hour and a
half looking for parking places, even several blocks away. I moved two of our cars out
into the street and then made the sign. Two families pulled into the driveway and tooted
their horns. They were delighted to not have to walk. "I would've done the same with my
driveway!" said one lady.

Phoon-er: ik. Idee voor de foto: ikzelf.
