[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP here. Yes, by "double parked" mean that they're taking a space that could comfortably fit 2 cars, but they park right in the middle of it. [b]There are no lines, [/b]but... it's common sense.

I learned that another neighbor left a note asking them to move their car up a few feet. I also did the same about a year ago. It was not aggressive or hostile at all. After learning that a different neighbor actually *spoke* to the owner, and they said "no"... well, that just means the person is a selfish jerk. The fact that they intentionally do this in front of OTHER peoples homes instead of their own block, is really rude. I know it's street parking and no one owns the street. But when parking is tight, common shared courtesy is essential.

I'm going to call 311 today. I just want to be anonymous. [/quote]

If there are no lines, how are they taking "a space that could fit 2 cars?" [/quote]
Do you lack spacial perception? If you’ve lived on a block like this you know to put the end of your car close enough to the crosswalk/driveway etc. if it looks like someone else can fit another car in front of or behind you. Agree that “double park” isn’t the correct term but there should be a word for it.[/quote]
+1. The fact that so many people on every thread hyper focus on exact word choices or “citations” illustrate just how poor the common sensibility and social skills are these days.

Whether OP used the term double parked, rudely parked, poorly parked is irrelevant. For most people, the situation described is obvious. There’s no need to be the wordsmith police.
