The process iirc is as follows:
- go to the local government office
- fill in and submit a form and stamp with your certified stamp
- in a few days a government clerk comes to measure your parking spot
- sometime later the office issues a certificate for your parking spot
- you take the certificate to the car dealer...
In some cases I would guess they leave it in neutral and push it in.
Seeing that architecture makes me sad the US has so many building rules that are incredibly stupid like zoning laws, standardized home layouts, and setback requirements. It'd be nice to have my home go all the way to the edge of the sidewalk like practically any other sane country.
When you have infinite-ish land you think to fill them with parking spots. When you have barely any land you want to use as little of it as possible.
Well, now I have a new community subscription.
Ta!
Makes me question if red fence owner lives in that little hut above the car.
Is there some documentary about small/unusual living places and how they do things like cooking, washing, store clothes n stuff etc?
I've seen various youtube vids about coffin homes/bedspace apartments, and tiny homes are definitely a thing that has a following, so I wouldn't be shocked to hear about a documentary about them, but I don't know any off hand.
But somehow New Yorkers still get offended if you say "the city" to refer to any city that's not New York
Overall I'm not super happy to live where I do now, but one thing I'm grateful for is that there's ample parking everywhere I go.
The reverse for me. I'm very happy to live where I do, because there's very little parking. More room for humans, shops, bikes, less for carbrained drivers with anger issues. Just overall a safer and more comfortable environment to live in.
how do they keep from damaging the vehicles or buildings?
Slowly.
You mean like everyone has done for over 100 years until just a few years ago? Hell, Japan didn't require backup cameras on new models sold in Japan until 2022. Virtually none of these cars in these photos have backup cameras...
I've never had one in any of my cars. It's a nice to have but not in any way necessary. The only thing I'd need one is to know how far I'm from the bumper of the car behind me. Usually I drive as close as I dare to and when I go check there's at least a meter wide gap still.
Since these are private parking spots, wheel stops are probably installed.
Naa, just let it roll back very cautiously until you feel the bump at the end.
As someone having successfully parked a multitude of different vehicles in tiny timber framed barns that were build hundreds of years before the first automobile:
That's where side mirrors and just plainly sticking your head out of the window comes into play!

Fun fact: In Japan you have to prove that you have parking space for it in order to buy a car, so these are all officially approved parking spaces for these vehicles!
