[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]^ DP, but how does a car parked in front of my house limit accessibility to it? This is really a made up problem.[/quote]

Do you have everything delivered? You must WFH daily.

Do you never go out to get groceries? Not have young kids? Some of us have to haul things to/from work. It's basic etiquette to park in front of your own home, and not others. If you have multiple cars, be mindful of others and don't be a street hog.

But the OP has a driveway! And it no one has a driveway, it’s public street parking! When I lived in AdMo I almost never got a spot right in front of my condo or even on my block. That’s life with no garage/driveway. I don’t understand why anyone feels entitled to a legal, public parking space. [/quote]

In a neighborhood where street parking is a precious commodity, you park where you can.

But if you have a choice to park in front of your neighbor's house, your own house, or 15 feet away in front of no-one's house... you do not park in front of your neighbor's house. That's just rude, when there are other options.

[b]And if you have multiple cars... time to downsize, especially if they are not frequently all gone at the same time.[/b]

As someone in a rowhouse with no private parking I agree with this but no one else seems to! We have one car for a family of four. Everyone else has one car for every resident old enough to drive, including high schoolers and retirees, and then work vans from the next block over park here frequently too, which REALLY annoys me when its over the weekend and doesn't move.

I don't mind parking down the street or on the other side, but whenever I have to unload sleeping kids or groceries and there's no parking on the block at all, I will park illegally to do that before finding a legal spot.

And yes of course I'd like a home with private parking, and was hoping to upgrade someday, but I also like not being house poor so it looks like that's not gonna happen. [/quote]

In Alexandria, I report these cars to 311 all the time. Online, you don't need to put your info, and parking enforcement is actually pretty responsive.

Street parking is not for vehicle storage. If all your cars are moved and driven regularly, not a problem. But if you park your car for a week or more at a time, and you're not out of town, you're a jerk. Move to the burbs if you just want to hoard vehicles you don't need. [/quote]
