If Im leaving a space why would I bother to send a text message to BostonSMS?
A. Quid pro quo. Although you are leaving a space now, you will eventually be returning to your neighborhood (unless you’re moving out) and will then be seeking parking. The exchange will only work if people use it correctly- when you leave, you’re creating parking, when you return you get help with parking. It’s worth it to spend 10-20 seconds sending a text message- think of how sweet it will be when you come back and get info on where a space will open up instead of driving around randomly hoping to get lucky!
