We can only imagine what was in the original note left on the windshield of this car on Cottage Street up on Jeffries Point, that this note - captured by Sean M. - is in response to. But given that the car still has New York plates and inspection stickers, and given that this is Boston, we have a pretty good idea.

This person of course, doesn't have to apologize for anything, let alone leave this silly note.

Except, of course, for cheating the rest of us by not paying the taxes and fees that he or she is supposed to be paying.

And then just leave it in that space, since I have no need for a car.

This New Yorker isn't quite ready for the adult world if she's begging for suggestions on how to legally park her car... sorry, but no one cares. Figure it out! It's not that tricky.
Not one ticket?

So wait, this car has been parked in a resident-only spot with out-of-state plates for months now? And has not gotten ANY tickets yet? Once you have gotten 5 unpaid tickets (I believe its 5), you are set to get booted next. From what I witness, they are usually pretty fast at ticketing non-residents in the resident spots. What about for street cleaning? Can she really be sweet talking every meter maid that shows up every single day at all hours? Or paying off the tickets before they add up to a boot? Something is missing in this story.
Intriguing

I find it interesting that everyone here has pegged the author of the note as female.
Based upon the handwriting I would have said the owner was male.
Not trying to stir anything up, just found it interesting. :)

it is. Although Adam put a "she" in the lede, people started out addressing the car owner/note writer directly with "you" and then there were some "they"s used. Issacg used the "s/he" pronoun and Swirly responded with the "she." So we can blame Adam.
Adam how do you know this is a woman? Looking at that handwriting sample (which was already analyzed in these here comments) I'd peg it as male as well.
jeez, we get a lot of mileage out of trivial bullshit.

Could very well be transgendered writing.
Glad we're focusing on the real issues.......gag.

I've been living in MA for five years now and couldn't bring myself to willingly become a masshole. Boston overcharges me for other stuff and even charges me an extra tax payment for my parking space. Suck. It. MA.
Extra tax for parking space?

If you own your space in some condos it's deeded separately and you have to pay tax on it. Guessing a bit but that's probably what they are talking about.
Parking spot tax bill

I get a separate tax bill from the city for my off street parking spot, it's nuts.
Is it a deeded space?

Which is your real property, and you are being taxed for this, and you think it is wrong?
I gotta contact the assessing department. I've got a driveway and yard they are completely unfairly taxing me on.

Judging from the comments, we're not just a passive-aggressive world class city, we're a very whiny world-class city. Whaaaa! Out-of-state plates on my street!

When you pay your dues to live and drive here and someone who cheats the system -- even saving spots during the winter season for their illegally registered cars -- people tend to get a little pissed off. Though this being UHub, I wouldn't be surprised if many of the people dismissing this or calling anyone raising the issue "whiny" don't even own a car or drive.
