[quote=Anonymous]Do the neighbors think that the driveway doesn't need shoveling?  Do they think that the driveway is navigable without shoveling?  If so, this may be why they aren't contributing.  Today it's snowing, so try parking on the street, walking up the hill, and seeing what your neighbors do.  Agree that no one should have a spot on your property.  Another way to handle it---  just ask 'em.  Nicely.  Directly.  Knock on the door, say, "Hey there! Lovin' this weather?  BTW---- Do you guys ever shovel?  We could use the help!" And they may tell you, "No, not really. We're able to come and go without shoveling, so we don't really bother."  At that point, you're just dealing with a difference of opinion.  If they do actually need and want the shoveling, but just don't want to contribute, this friendly 'ask' may be just the nudge they need, or, if they react badly to this reasonable question, then you know--- they're jerks.   While you're visiting, say, "we'd rather keep our cars on our respective property, so could (the new guy's name) please not park by our place? Thanks so much!"  [/quote]
