I am guessing this post is asking if the neighbor car if someone parks in front of their house? If they do, they are a hypocrite. |

Because I do. Why can't they park in front of their own house? Or, a better question is, why won't they? |

Of course, the antagonistic neighbor would never admit this. They have issues. OP, you could have fun with this, and the neighbor would be none the wiser. Let him think he is "winning", than BAM. You have our permission. |

Pretty clear cut there. |

But why do you care? What difference does it make to you? And if you asked them, "Why do you park in front of my house?" and they answered, "Because [reason]." then what? |

I care because I don't want cars in front of my house that do not need to be there. Because I do not want to look out of my house and staire at my neighbors cars. Because I do not want my kids, who play ball in my front yard to hit their cars by accident. Because I like to have that space available for guests who visit. Again, are you really that dense? And I wouldn't ask them why they parked in front of my house because that isn't the point. The point is why don't they park in front of their own house. See the difference? Geez, I hope the next time someone does anything to annoy you, you say to yourself. "Self, get over it. People can be rude. Whatever is legal to do is ok to do." By the way, I am not the OP of this post, I just someone who I aware enough to realize that if I can avoid bring rude and entitled, I should avoid being that way. |

I'm not the poster of the section I bolded, but I think their point is why does the why matter? Not that you shouldn't like that the neighbors do it but is there any reason that would make you not mind? |

As a kid I hated it when the neighbors parked in front of out house instead of in their driveway because then we had to worry about hitting their car with balls and frisbee when we played in the front yard. I would suggest that you let them know that this could be an issue because they may actually care about their car getting dented. |

| Maybe they come home a certain way and happen to be facing that direction. Parking in from of their house would require facing the other way (if they are across the street) |

My neighbor across the street from my driveway has his own driveway (that is in the shape of a P and can fit 3 SUVs easily) and three car garage. He lives there with his wife, they two of them own 7 cars, not a typo. They refuse to park any one of their 7 cars in their driveway or their garage. EVER. so they park it directly across from my driveway and all along the street (the street only has parking on one side, the other side is "No Parking" signs by the city because it is so narrow. We've lived here for 5 years, we have politely asked them to not park it in front of our driveway and explained why and they said yes but never ever have. The reason I can't stand that they do this is because it is so difficult for me to turn right or left out of my driveway to go ANYWHERE without coming super close to hitting their cars. I have to do a 3 point turn practically every time I leave. And there is no where for me to park on the street, or for a visitor to park on the street, because their 7 cars take up the majority of the on street parking. It is really incredible. Some people are just odd and weird about the most random stuff. I assume they don't want to park in their driveway because they don't want oil stains or whatever on it. But they don't park in their garage either, I've seen it with the doors open, there is NOTHING in there. And if they go anywhere, they play some Chinese firedrill game where the husband moves the car they want to take and the wife gets the keys to a few other cars, and they move a bunch of them around a few feet here and a few feet there so someone else's car couldn't fit into the empty spot. I mean it's pure comedy and insanity at the same time. They drive me bat shit crazy with this. |

| There are a few houses on our street where the residents have two or three cars, wide driveways and garages. They almost always park all their vehicles on the street so their visitors/staff can use their driveways or so they can get in and out quickly. It is annoying when others have to park a street away when their driveways are empty. Especially when you have groceries, a baby and a toddler. That would be me. Thanks, neighbor. |

| Our neighbor does the same thing. She suggested that they do not want cars to block their view or the view of their house from the street. Weird. |

OP here. (This is my first post in a few pages.) My neighbor does have a garage and driveway. I imagine that they don't want the car in front of their house because their house is beautiful and their car a clunker. Not that I care about that, but the car in front of their house may not present their desired image.
Right now I don't care, but we are about to redo our front yard landscaping. It will be annoying to spend a lot on that and then not be able to see it. |
