Listen – you know it, we know it, everyone knows it. Parking is a pain in the neck. It’s a city problem and a state problem. There’s never enough parking and when you do find a parking spot, you usually have to pay for it. And don’t even get me started on how often you…

We’re the generation that grew up watching legal dramas like LA Law, Ally McBeal, and The Practice.
