Neighbor’s Parking Dilemma: Selfish or Justified?

Living in a large apartment building for the past ten years, a resident has always left their garage gate open, allowing neighbors to temporarily park their cars there to unload groceries and other items. However, a recent change in the resident’s work schedule has led to them closing the gate, sparking a heated debate among neighbors. With time being tight, the resident is now wondering if they’re being selfish or if their actions are justified.
