Parking waitlist
An ordered queue for a space in a lot that is full.
A parking waitlist records who is waiting for a space, in the order they asked, and often what kind of space they need.
Two properties of a waitlist decide whether anybody trusts it. The first is that the order is visible — a queue only the manager can see is indistinguishable from no queue. The second is that an offer expires: without a deadline, a space offered to somebody who is thinking about it is a space earning nothing while the person behind them waits.
