Seems that many buyers would prefer a bigger backyard to a dark alley behind their homes...Your thoughts?

1) If you pass an open spot, you cannot ‘back up’ to get it. Once it’s passed, it’s a free space again.2) People who walk to their cars to put packages away, must let cars waiting for their spot know what your intentions are (don’t make them wait, when you knew all along that you were not leaving, but just putting packages away).
