[quote=Anonymous]I live in a very suburban area of DC where there is no zoned parking and parking is plentiful.  We (and all our neighbors) have a driveway and at least a place for one car directly in front of the house.  Some houses have 2 spots in front of the house.  Whether there is one spot or two is dependent on driveway placement.  We have two cars, one we park in the driveway and one in the spot directly in front of our house (we only have one spot directly in front of our house).  Friends, the nanny, and our parents generally park in front of the house next door, which until recently has been vacant.  It was recently rented to a single man.  The gentleman usually parks his car in the driveway but sometimes parks his car in front of the house.

The other day he came over and confronted me for parking my car in one of the two spots in front of his house (we had a friend over who had parked in the spot I usually park my car).  He said those were his spots and we were not allowed to park there.  He said we were infringing on his enjoyment of his property.  I told him the spots are DC public parking and we had every right to park there.  He would not back down.  I really don't understand his problem.  Our visitors never take up more than one spot in front of his house, so there is ALWAYS at least one open parking space, plus his driveway.  He only has one car.

Is he crazy or are we being bad neighbors?  BTW- one of the spots that he claims is his isn't really in front of his house, its half on my property and half on his.  Also my nanny isn't the issue, she leaves before he gets home from work.  Its really our parking there or any guests on the weekend.

Also, if he (or any of our other neighbors for that matter) has guests over and they park in our spot when we aren't home we don't care.  Worst case scenario is that we have to park a few houses down.  [/quote]
