An increasingly concerned citizen files a 311 report urging Boston to do something now to protect Moss Hillers, pondsiders and other Jamaica Plain residents from an impending flood of US Open fans seeking free parking over the line from the Country Club in Brookline June 16-19:
US OPEN country club attendees plan to park in JP Center and Moss Hill -- according to social media posts, some of the 80,000 expected attendees of the US open golf tournament in June at the country club in brookline are planning to park in Jamaica plain on street and moss hill to walk to shuttles at Larz Andersen. Signs need to be posted on all streets in JP and moss hill especially batting on street US open parking or it's going to be a nightmare for residents. Brookline has no parking in vicinity.

why I love watching Judge Judy: someone always loses, therefore I always win.
I’m only disappointed that

West Roxbury isn’t close enough to be a parking option.
Maybe talk to residents along

Maybe talk to residents along the Marathon route for ideas on how to cope with this inconvenience?
Not a great analogy

If I'm a resident on the marathon route free to spectate whereas this event requires spectators to shell out thousands of dollars.
In the marathon case residents get something for the inconvenience.
Complaining about parking in a city is still stupid no matter what.
The residents..

That have been allowed to have resident parking. Unfortunately BTD hates JP and won't do anything to fix the problems they enable.
Think of it as an exciting spectacle

Point A: No one in Moss Hill parks on the street, so no one is losing "their" spot.
Point B: Think of it as an exciting spectacle and roll with it. I live near a Temple with a big parking lot. During the high holidays they do not have enough parking and people park all around my area in ways that would never fly any other time. And it's fine.
They should take a lesson from the Big E

Everybody should park in the street and then rent out their driveways for the day. $50 sound fair?
Been there, done that

Red Sox - Yankees World Series of '86
Everyone took their cars over to campus and we packed them in at $40-$50 each. I suspect the frats did the same.
Cool thing was that the Yankees Fans were savvy enough to drive the alley and ask people sitting in lawn chairs. No signs or obvious advertising needed.
Red Sox - Mets, not Yankees
