Is the space on the street in front of your house considered your property?

No. This thread is full of a bunch of entitled AHs who complain about kids playing outside in “their” beloved extra parking spot one minute and then probably turn around and complain about excessive screen time for kids and “why don’t kids play outside anymore?” the next minute.

Yes, "no" is the issue--if the street doesn't belong to you can't encumber it with a part of your stuff

Exactly! So stop parking your car on the street!

The basketball hoop blocks parking, that is the point. Yes you want a new world order where people don't drive and park but currently roads are for the convenience and purpose of driving and parking.

Entitled a-holes like…the kind of person who would put up a basketball hoop in front of their neighbor’s house instead of their own?

The neighbor doesn’t own the street, even if it is *gasp* in front of their house!

No normal person would put it somewhere other than in front of their own house, unless they were an entitled a-hole

Exactly, it is a nuisance to others when it's in front of someone else's house.

Americans hate children, the outdoors, and physical activity. All are considered to be a nuisance.

NP. I love all three of those things, but in my neighborhood, we have tons of basketball hoops, but you rarely see anyone using them. Maybe for a bit when it’s brand new, but eventually the novelty wears off and it just sits there for years.

Do you have cameras trained on the hoops? Do you sit in your living room staring out your front window intently watching these hoops all day? I rarely see my neighbors drive their cars, but that doesn’t mean they rarely drive them, and it certainly doesn’t mean I’m going to try to get their cars towed.

You don't need to look out the window -- bouncing basketballs are very, very loud.

But depends on your local laws, HOA. Probably better to ask them than a random forum of folks who don’t know your neighborhood rules.

No HOA. We are in Arlington. Where would I find out if this is allowed?

Agree.

Not to mention balls bouncing all over the place and kids chasing them out into the street where cars are driving.

Cars before kids! Get back inside you ruffians!

Do this. And if they don't move it within 24 hours, I would consider it abandoned property and I would put it on the listserv/Nextdoor and saying free basketball hoop, yours if you move it.

But I can be a b1tch. YMMV.

Would you do the same if they parked their car on the public street in front of your house?

Cars and basketball hoops are entirely different. One belongs in the street and one does not.

According to whom? You? I assume the only difference in your broken brain is that you personally get some benefit out of placing your private property in a publicly owned space, so cars are okie dokie, but because you have no use for a basketball hoop someone else’s private property in a public space is a nuisance…
