No. [b]The reason there are so many cars is because there are multiple families[/b] living in a house intended for a single family, and with a driveway designed to meet the needs of a single family.

I'm the "specific PP" who wrote about the driveway. Here's the problem: These houses were built in 1969, when many families had only new car. Hence, many of the houses have a single-car garage, with room on the driveway for a second car. The driveway problem Is because that house is occupied by two families, and between them they have five cars. Now multiply that by many houses, with many families, with too many cars, and sooner or later, someone is in your driveway.

In the night in question, I had to park up the block and walk back to my house, alone, at night. Does this seem fair when I have a driveway? Some of these people have a lot of gall. [/quote]

And these two families have five cars because...? How many cars does your household have?

I understand that it's annoying that your driveway was blocked. But that's the problem - that your driveway was blocked. Not what the house was "intended for" by the developer in 1969.

For what it's worth, I have a friend who lives alone in a 1950s 900 square foot 3 bedroom 1 bathroom house. The original residents were a mother, a father, four children, and a grandmother - 7 people. No garage, no driveway, probably one car and it was parked on the street. That's what the house and street were "intended for." She doesn't live like that today, it's unlikely that you live like that today, and your neighbors don't live like that today either.[/quote]
