There was prob a car there when they first parked. Why does thr āa few blocks from a schoolā part matter? I do t think it sucks any more or less when itās near a school.

Because little kids having to dodge a car while there is regular morning and truck route traffic going, while people are pushing their strollers and wheelchairs, isnāt too cool man.
Being parked there also reduces visibility for folks in the vehicles looking to turn.
Thatās why it matters. The people that need to use the crosswalk very much need it. This person decided that their shitty Honda was more important than peopleās means of egress.

Because now you have school kids going into the street to get around this douche

Not sure why youāre getting downvoted. Yes, it puts school kids in danger but parking in a crosswalk also means this person is blocking an ADA curb ramp so anybody using a mobility assistance device is also being put in harms way. This is a complete dick move no matter where it happens. Also shocking to me that thereās a feeling that itās fine to do this overnight so long as you move the car before 6 AM or something as if people never leave the house when itās dark out.

Thatās what I was getting at. I push a stroller pretty often and when the crosswalk is blocked with a car on a busier street it does actually feel significantly more dangerous.
