Appreciation post: the 20 minute parking spot on Greene St I only found by walking the block twice
I used to circle downtown for 15 minutes every Saturday like everyone else, sweating over metered spots near the bakery. Then one day I parked way out and walked the full block to see what I was missing. There's a loading zone that clears at 2pm on Greene St, right behind the old bank. If you get there at 1:55 you can grab it for free until 6. I've done this 4 weekends in a row now, saves me about 12 bucks each time. Has anyone else found a weird timing hack for a spot in their town, or is this just my lucky corner?

Wait, a loading zone that just turns into free parking at 2pm? That sounds made up, but I kind of believe you. Where I live the loading zones are enforced until 6 and they will ticket you fast. Four weekends in a row without a ticket is wild, you must be timing it perfect every time.

Love that you found the loophole, those zones that flip to free after a set time are the best kept secret. Got one by my old place that went free at 3 on Saturdays and I parked there every week for months without a single ticket. You just have to watch the signs like a hawk because one day they change the rules on you.
