[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Anyone have a polite way of bringing this up to a neighbor?

I'm tempted to just call parking enforcement. Truthfully, I don't understand how someone can be SO clueless to park in front of their neighbor's house for more than 2 days or so, on a constant basis. One neighbor has been parked in front of our rowhouse for probably 25 out of the past 30 days. [/quote]
What's parking enforcement going to do? I'm sure the code doesn't say "don't park in front of your neighbor's house"; what does it actually say?[/quote]

They would ticket. You cannot park for 3 days in a row, anywhere. Street parking is not meant for vehicle storage. [/quote]

And they would also equally ticket someone’s car parked in front of their own house.[/quote]

Yep. It doesn't matter where you park. The whole point of street parking, is to use it as public parking. It is not long term parking. It is not your personal spot to park in. If you are parking *anywhere* for more than a couple days, you are using street parking wrong. [b]Which is why I feel NO remorse calling parking enforcement on my neighbors who WFH and leave their cars parked for chunks of time. [/b]Have some compassion for those of us who commute daily, carry stuff daily, deal with weather issues, etc.

That said, most people are wayyyyy less likely to rat you out to parking enforcement if you're parking in front of your own home. It's common sense and basic etiquette. Don't park your car for days on end in front of someone else's home. [/quote]

I take it you live in a neighborhood with driveways. Because you do realize there are neighborhoods without driveways, right? And just how does it affect you carrying stuff if someone is parked on a street for days at a time?[/quote]

Lets say you live on a block of THs in Del Ray and one of your neighbors WFH. They park their car in front of your house on Tuesday the 16th and let it sit there, unmoved until Wednesday the 24th. Your work is in Herndon and you drive to and from there evry single day and have three teenagers in your house. Every night you come home to park and lug in 20 pounds of groceries but you can't park in front of your house because your inconsiderate neighbor is storing their car there.

That's why.[/quote]
