Yeah, in the UK, the chair would simply be stolen by youth and burnt.
 
Where is the sense of entitlement coming from? If I am able to take your spot, it means that I have dug my car out too.
Which also likely means your own chair is now missing.
 
This is the case in Toronto - cars aren't allowed to be parked on the streets when snow accumulates, so as not to inhibit the snowplows.
It's the same in Chicago for main arteries. However, we don't have driveways but instead have alleys with garages. To be honest, the way you park in Toronto, in front of the house and on the lawn, is really pretty ugly. Not what I'd call curb appeal. Can people still do that?
 
I want ten chairs.

I'd rent a pick-up, drive around and collect chairs, and sell them on E-bay! :D

But ideally, people should live close enough together that parking houses would be viable. Would save energy, time, money, environment, fuel and everything else that is good.
 
Dammit, clicked the wrong poll option.

I meant to click the carsicle one :p

I don't see it..
 
People should rent our chairs.
 
I think you should be able to leave a chair there if you want to, but the authorities should confiscate the chairs, as a general rule. (They don't need a Chair Task Force, but having whole streets full of chairs is nuts) Also, while taking the shoveled out spot in front of someone's house is rude, you don't get to just confiscate public property. So if someone shoves your chair out of the way and parks there anyway, there shouldn't be anything you can do about it. (Icing over someone's car should be a crime -- if you're found guilty, you should be fined heavily based on a percentage of your income, with the proceeds donated to the city's weather emergency fund)
 
There are a LOT of properties around me that have plenty of room for a garage (most of the lots are 1/4 to 1/3 acre) yet don't have one.
 
People in these areas put chairs out to guard their part of the street they just spent 2+ hours shoveling, because the vast majority of them don't even have room for a 15' driveway, much less a garage.
 
I don't see the problem with doing this. It would be nice if people weren't jerks and didn't take the spot someone else had just shoveled out, but if that's a problem, then I think marking your territory with a chair is justified.
 
But why a CHAIR?
