bym, not always are you able to stop for 3 minutes on a block without getting honked at, forced to move or a cop coming…but when you are able to wait than it prob. is a good idea because like you said if you move you loose it…
but remember: if someone else is also waiting for a spot and about to get it…do NOT zoom up from behind or in fron of them and snatch the spot! it’s not courteous and nice and definitely not worth upsetting someone else !
