Parking in front of fire plug

Pre bike lane this was pretty common. Main motivation is there is ATM at Bank of America there.
The fire plug directly across the street also frequently has cars parked in front of it. Sometime it is a truck from the firehouse because the truck won't fit in the lot - the truck does give the hydrant about 6 inches clearance. More often it is a car just stopping in at the liquor store.
People who drive to an ATM

People who drive to an ATM should be banished to the suburbs.
Not often

I see fit to give you the benefit, but right? What person not on foot is well-served by that machine?
The Brighton Ave BoA was always a culprit, especially because there was nominal space in front of it with a hydrant! The Comm Ave one is much easier for direct vehicular access, although one would also be forced on a good outbound detour if they're not headed that way in the first place.
Anyway, if you have a car, and your credit is such (expletive) that you're in such dire need of cash as to make an emergency urban stop for some, then you're doing money wrong.
congestion charge

Why can't they impose a fee to drive your car downtown? Like London did. It might help if the T worked, but still. I'd pay it.

You'll never see an elected official on a bicycle.
That there's no congestion charge is one of the few effective examples of a "laws for thee and none for me" proposal getting rightly stuck back up the (expletive) of those who suggested it.
