Would you call parking enforcement on these neighbors?

This is the one area where I am Gladys Kravitz as my neighbors are elderly and we all park in the same spots so they can easily get to their homes, and when some random comes and leaves the car parked for days it creates a hazard for them (I can and do adjust but the elderly people really do struggle if they have to park doors, or god forbid, blocks away). I called every time, every day until the car moved. It turned out it was some man who was buying and selling cars and parking them on our street for no good reason and he got tired of the tickets and moved along.

100% would call. Everytime.

Is there any way to find out who called your vehicle in? Can this be FOIA-ed?

Because I really want to do this to a neighbor. I know they don't live on our street, and their truck hasn't been moved in almost 2 weeks. I left a polite note on their car: "hey neighbor, would you be able to move your car up or back a few feet so that another vehicle can fit?"

They complained in Nextdoor about someone leaving angry notes on their car. It was ridiculous.

Neighbors (don't know them) live on adjacent street. They have 3 cars. They have one "vintage" car they never ever drive. Instead of parking it in front of their house on their street, they park on our block - which is busier than their block. They leave their car parked for weeks (or more) then move it. Worse, they double park, taking a spot that could fit 2 vehicles.

I just find it so selfish and rude. A neighbor on our block once asked them to move their car up a few feet so as to not double park, and the owner said "no."

It is technically against the law in our city to leave a car parked for days, unmoved. Street parking is precious and is not meant for storing vehicles. My thoughts are... these people do not care about being considerate of others, so why should we?

Good question! We have a situation like this on our street- the neighbor has two older large vehicles that they park in front of other neighbor’s houses. And they leave them there for months at a time. They’ll drive them around the block every few weeks, but they have to jump the battery sometimes to get the cars to start because they have let them sit so long. The cars are parked directly across from driveways on our narrow street, so it is more difficult to get out of driveways.

In reality, no one is actually going to call the cops on them, because otherwise they are good neighbors and good people, but I don’t understand why they don’t park the older vehicles in their driveway. Then they could park the cars they use every day in front of neighbors’s houses but at least they’d be moving them regularly so other neighbors would be less inconvenienced.
