 +===== street parking =====
 +
 +Look for areas where other vehicles are parked:  near apartments, businesses, industrial areas, etc.((as a bonus, some of these areas will have open wifi))   If you find a promising spot while on errands mark it in your nav app so you can return some other time.  
 +
 +Avoid areas with schools, residences, etc to avoid riling neighbors. Be certain not to block driveways or ingress/egress of trucks. Watch out for street signs with directional(("<-- no parking")) or time/day((you can note these in your nav app and return when the time/day enforcement is not in effect)) restrictions.  Avoid painted curbs, typically red (fire lanes), yellow, blue, green, etc.

 +To avoid accidents you may want to avoid parking on near curves/hills where sightlines are limited, near bars where drunks will be navigating.  You might want to park forward of other vehicles to avoid being the first in the chain to be hit. To avoid being blocked in you can park in the first or last legal slot in the row -- no one will be able to park close enough to hem you in. If your driver's side mirror folds in you might do so to avoid damage from close passes or vandals.
