It's wild to me that double parking is still a thing that is generally tolerated in the South End after all these decades.

Tolerated across the whole city. Certain places definitely get a worse case of it. Boylston going through Fenway always feels like a 1 lane road rather than 2

The South End is historically famous for it and is the only place you'll see cars fully parked (not just hazards on) blocking in the row of vehicles by the curb with the driver nowhere in sight, as shown in OP's pic.
Boylston in Fenway is a hellish stretch of road for sure, but the cars "parked" in the right lane are always just food delivery people running in and out of Cava or whatever.

It’s just parents picking up their kids from the youth center. This line is here every day and its not even a busy road, relax.

I've stopped going down Boylston in the Fenway, just so hard to get down the street now between double parkers and people turning left... just not worth it anymore. Faster to go beacon if you are headed to Storrow if you are coming from JP/Brookline/etc...

Charge more for parking permits and this will end

They contribute a shit ton to local taxes. I'm OK with it.

Yea - as a resident there... its maddening. Wish there were a better way for infrastructure 1.0 to accommodate for the food delivery services 2.0.
Dont love to generalize, but generally speaking the quality of character of these food delivery peeps is just no where to be found.
Access to parking constantly blocked by some Nissan Versa w their hazards on.

It's pretty simple. Delivery apps and ride share services should have to share their drivers vehicle information with the states motor vehicle registry. If they receive a ticket while operating for the service, the company is responsible for paying the ticket.
Regardless of how much those companies want to fight the classification, there's not a good argument that they aren't employees.

Oh hey! That's my block. I have no problem with the double-parking by the church/mosque, as the street is plenty wide, but since we're complaining about use of space, my dog was almost murdered by a driver when we tried to cross Dedham St. That crossing is a nightmare and we should ban cars from it.

Honestly, for the impact they make in the city, parking permits should cost at least $10,000 per year. Ride a fuckin' bike, moron.

I know nothing about Shawmut, but I generally agree that people tend to... well, abandon their cars in the roads and call it "parking".
