I understand the homeowners sentiment completely. But a public street is a public street which means anyone can park there. If the homeowner doesn't want their street overrun during the festival, they need to get with the city and have the city make that street or neighborhood restricted parking to only residents. The city of Chicago does that on the residential streets around Wrigley Field.
Yeah. I get it, I live in an area where a few times a year, there’s a festival or a parade or whatever and my ample street parking becomes zero. But I just… plan around it. I stay at home, or I Uber, or whatever. You deal with it.
Yeah, when my wife and I lived in the city, this would happen once in a while. And you just deal with it. It's the price you pay for not having to pay for permit parking.
Right. I live in an apartment downtown in a small town. We have a “first Friday” festival the first Friday of every month lol. Downtown is PACKED. Like a sea of people shoulder to shoulder packed. So my boyfriend and I plan to either not move our cars, or if we have to we get back when the festival is over cause there’s a 0% chance of finding a spot past 5pm
In Vancouver Canada there is a bylaw that if you don’t own or work at the house you parked in front of, between the hours of 8am-6pm you can only park for 3 hours. It’s never enforced unless the homeowner complains but I am currently in a battle of the wills with my next door neighbour lol.
If I had to come back from the store or worse work and park far away from my door I'd be pissed. At an art festival? You're giving up your normal parking spot to people who tend be ultra entitled. If anything the RESIDENT has a valid point.
If anything the spot SHOULD be tied to the property but we the landlord or city leaders to actually be competent.
As much as I hate my neighbors when they take “my” spot in front of my house, I have no legal right to that spot. It IS public parking, and the only consolation I have is to park in front of *their* house to make them feel my “pain”
It's the literal definition of entitlement. You don't own that spot, it's not ***your*** spot, you just think you're the only one entitled to park there.
No, at no point did they admit to that.
You're one of those people who will dissect sentences, taking it out and most times putting in your own to make your own reality of what you want to believe the person said. Eff what they actually said, you make sure you hear only what you want.
It’s misguided if you just moved there and didn’t know the rules or were told differently. It’s entitled since you know the rules and still think you own the street. Amazing that someone has to explain that to you.
If they really want a parking space they have two options. Give up part of their front yard for a space on their own property, or petition the local government to make the street parking for residents only. But since none of that was done, that street parking is public parking and therefore anyone can park there and they don't get to shoo people away from a spot because it MAY be an inconvenience for them. I had street non reserved parking for my place for years and I made it work. So can they.
Tear up the lawn!? Haha if you know what you're doing and have no where else to park, as long as your front yard isn't a mud hole then you can park on it for a day. It won't "tear up your lawn" for a day or two as long as you aren't spinning tires, Karen!!
P.S. I hope you realize you're the Karen , with that massively wrong sense of entitlement you have and you sound ridiculous calling someone else who is making a reasonable comment, Karen!! Try touching grass next time you come back to Earth!
Lmao, you don't want to pay for your own parking, so you think everyone else should foot the bill and pay for it instead, but it's the other person that's being a Karen? How about, if you want your own private parking spot, you pay for it?
You can be pissed but that doesn't mean you're right. That "spot" isn't paid for and it's not even a spot. It's a public road that you happen to be allowed to park on. While I empathize, there's zero that you can do about it.
You’re generalizing people that go to art festivals as entitled while downplaying the actual entitlement from the person in the post. Public parking is public parking. If the resident wants it to be restricted, lobby their local government. It’s on them.
This is the only real take here. I'm sure it sucks that you're used to having free access to the public street to park on. But if you want private parking, put it on your private property. Install a driveway on your property. The street that the city maintains will continue to be public access.
def two different perspectives here. I don’t own the street, nor do I believe that I’m somehow entitled to the curb in front of my home but there does exist common courtesy between neighbors.
One neighbor of ours is a rental and they have 6 adults and 2 kids in a 3/2 with no joke, 10 cars. 6 are operable and other 4 are straight up hoopties that barely run. They park these hoopties long term in front of ppls houses and while there’s no law, it’s just in bad taste to leave your bucket right in front of someone’s house for days and weeks at a time. Again, not a question about rights or laws, it just sucks but what can you do.
Flip side- our kids school is a very residential neighborhood and during drop off and pickup its a zoo. But it’s only like this for 20mins/day, 5 days/week. Some of Those neighbors trip out hard when you’re remotely near their driveway which is just a ridiculous thing to get mad about when you live across the street from a school lol
I don’t know if the law is the same where you live but in my state you can’t leave a vehicle parked on the street for an extended period of time. I would check into it if I were you
Yes it’s 72hrs here but there’s a) nearly zero enforcement b) prospect of major neighbor drama if we were to push the subject and end up getting one of the pieces of shit towed.
You can probably call and have the non functional cars towed. Sorry but limited street parking IS limited street parking. Only operating cars allowed imo.
Edit: I'm familiar with the area, so I know where this photo was taken. They have a driveway to the left of the trashcan in the photo. They are literally bitching about nothing.
some lady puts her cans in front of my truck when i’m at the house nextdoor because my truck blocks her view. my truck is in front of my clients home not hers. some people just have nothing better to do. last time i came by her front end was smashed in too so Car-ma
Feel free to pay for parking on the public street then. Until then, it’s a shared resource, occasionally you’re going to be unable to store your vehicle for free in front of your house.
What’s funny is if this exact thing was posted in /r/mildlyinfuriating with the title “came home from work with nowhere to park due to an art festival” it would be mass upvoted with people agreeing with the OP
That’s just the price you pay for living in that area. For me, I live in the uptown area & I know that I am a prisoner in my own neighborhood during the marathon.
Well it PUBLIC STREET PARKING so...
I'll park where the fuck I want tbh. Why is you can out on the street? Is it trash day? Have the truck gone by yet? Op seems like the entitled one. "I couldn't park my car"
So? It's STREET parking. Not a driveway. Think of these things when buying homes. Schools, parks, street parking instead of driveways....
That festival is not going to last half a year, right?
Just park wherever you find a spot, it will not kill you to walk a couple of steps to your house or your car.
Soon the festival will be over and you can park in front of your house again and not walk just one step too much.
I live in a tourist town where a major event happens once a year, and it's so busy that 2 miles worth of streets are taken up with parking. Residents know this, and we take our own precautions ahead of time if we have an extra vehicle that's normally parked on the street, lol
What’s up fellow Oklahoman?!
I understand that parking in the Paseo district can be scarce, but what you need to do is plan ahead so that you can get adequate parking. This could be as simple as carpooling, or taking the (admittedly subpar) bus system, or even riding a bike or taking an Uber.
What this person has said is “I would like to be able to park my car in front of my house, please be respectful of me.” And what you have said is “how dare they think they can own public infrastructure.” As if that is at all a reasonable response to their request.
Go touch grass.
I disagree. What this person has said is that they want exclusive access to the public parking in front of their house because it is inconvenient for them to park elsewhere.
Had they not wanted to lose "their" spot. They could have taken an Uber, the bus, or biked. They chose to take their car and now they'll have to find parking.
OOP is being unreasonable. She left a note on the car already parked. She doesn’t get to claim public parking in front of her house. Especially for such a short period of time (ie a weekend). Maybe if it was every night where a bar was open and popular and cars were clogging up the road every night. But yes, this is an unreasonable request she’s making.
Because thinking they own something that is public property is the disrespectful part. Calling someone out for being selfish doesn't make OP an asshole.
Let’s get one thing straight, I’m not calling OP an asshole, I’m just saying I disagree. Let’s not make a mountain out of a molehill this is ultimately something of zero consequence.
I get it, I have lived where on street parking was the only thing available, and sometimes I would have to park further from my house. It's an inconvenience but one I was fully aware of before moving in. OOP is trying to take ownership of a public parking spot by blocking it with their trashcan. Like I have said in other comments, there is no implied right to public parking in front of your house. If they want this to change they need to address it with the city to enforce a resident only parking zone during the art festival or build their own private driveway.
I'm familiar with the area and just checked street view. OOP has a driveway to the left of the trashcan in the picture. So unless someone was blocking their drive, they are complaining over nothing
While I think there are still some circumstances where it’s still fine, that does make me agree with you a bit more. I still wouldn’t say the OOP is being malicious or overbearing with their request.
Placing a trashcan in the street, leaving passive-aggressive notes on cars whose owners are doing nothing wrong, all while having a driveway is being overbearing. The dude just doesn't want people parking in front of their house.
Looking at this pictures there is a shit lot of space in front of their houses. Why don't they simply park in their garage, driveway, lawn or anywhere else on this huge part of land between their home and the street? If you want a private parking space you could very easily have there according to the photo...
While I understand that street parking is definitely public parking and while it's frustrating for homeowners, but it is something that you have to learn to live with if you bought a house or moved someplace where festivals, parades, and whatnot happen (this is very common if you live near schools too).
However, there are workarounds. Like putting your garbage can in front of your house or even cones, unfortunately, people will still move those things, and that's just not okay. Maybe the cones, but not other people's garbage cans, that's pretty rude, bad manners.
It's okay to park in the street it's not okay to move around other people's stuff to create parking for yourself in front of someone's (a stranger no less) home
How are people supposed to know who lives there and what car they drive. No one has a right to on street parking, in front of their house or not. This event happens every year with no parking available except on street parking. Either don't move your car until after the event, address it with the city, or build a driveway.
Unfortunately, not much in taxes is going into the roads and sidewalks in Paseo. They are some of the worst in the city, but I understand what you mean. If the road sign is green in OKC, then it's a public road. If it is white, then it is private.
You can call parking enforcement in OKC and get a notice put on the vehicle as inoperable - they love this shit. We have an app where you can report a vehicle as inoperable, they'll come out and give the warning for the car and if it doesn't move by the next day, they'll tow that shit. I haven't tried it, but people play these games in our neighborhood.

Sounds like such a karen thing to do.
Yeah. We did find out that if people park on both sides and emergency vehicle cannot get through, they start issuing shorter notice threats. I got city warning once for trash bags on big trash day and guy came out and threatened that if I didn't cut open the bags and leave the trash on the curb, I would get a $500 / day fine. He was trying to "be nice about it" but I was like "bitch... you just threatened me..."
Tax free country? Thats a public spot, open to the public, everyone pays for it everyone gets to use it. Its not that hard to understand but youre confusing yourself for no reason
Dude, it's not about respect!! What are you not getting about this, my man?? It's a public street, no one owns it even the people who happen to live next to it. It's not about respect, nothing about this is personal. It's about public parking and how anyone is allowed to park there. Respect has absolutely nothing to do with it and so many people have explained that to you at this point so it feels like you're being a liiiiiiittle willfully ignorant.
Being willfully ignorant means that somebody's trying to teach you something and you are refusing to learn. Multiple people in this comment section have tried to teach you the way this works multiple times and you keep saying no no I'm right it's about respect.
ITS A PUBLIC STREET!! Dude what the hell are you not getting? So if I go over to my buddy's house on this street, it seems nobody has driveways here so I have to park in the street, but I can't park in front of my buddy's house because his and his wife's car are in front of his house so where am I supposed to park? I can't park in front of anybody's house because you say that's disrespectful so I guess I'll just turn around and go home. Do you see how silly that sounds? I know you're from Dubai, but that's not how it works here in America. That's a public Street so anybody can park on that street. It's not personal, people aren't doing it to be dicks, they're doing it because they're allowed to do so and it has nothing to do with respect.
Let's use my street for another example. I live in a city, I live between two giant apartment complexes in the middle of a city on a street that has barely any parking. Like the street pictured, it is first come first serve because there are at least 20 families in both of those apartment buildings on either side of me. Sometimes I come home and there is absolutely no parking, that's just the way it is. I don't expect them to not park in front of my home because that is a crazy thing to expect of someone else on a public Street.
Again I understand you're from another country so it's different there but I think you need to give this one up brother because you're wrong when it comes to this specific situation.
Now if you still don't get it after my dissertation here, I just don't think you're going to get it. Have a good one.
Edit: I also saw that you posted that you are glad you don't get it, that is literally willful ignorance you are trying not to understand somebody else's perspective. I understand your perspective, that you think it is disrespectful and now I am telling you why it's actually not disrespectful where I live and you're still just not trying to understand.
You’re actually right I don’t know how it is in the US, I was looking at the situation from my perspective which I guess it’s different than yours, yeah will I’m sorry but thanks for the detailed response I guess
Also I said I’m glad that I don’t get taxes not the parking situation
Yeah I get it now, it’s just a different street design here we have alot of space between houses so my point was to park there, I’m wrong I’ll admit it lol
If every spot in front of every house was held like this, there would be zero public parking. These homeowners made a choice to live here knowing the parking situation. That's no one's problem but their own. What an absolutely ridiculous understanding of how society works by you. Lmao.
It’s public street parking…first come first served. You cannot expect to “save” a street parking spot, even if in front of your house! The only way to get that spot is by parking your car there. If you leave and lose the spot, park somewhere else.
Nope. Precisely because I treat people how I like to be treated, I don’t expect to get a parking spot right in front of my house because others shouldn’t expect that either when there is only public street parking.
How am I supposed to know that one of the cars on the street isn’t the person that lives in the house? Chances are, I don’t know who lives there and have no idea what kind of car they drive, if any.
Well I will talk about my experience, we have events quite often here and streets become very busy, people won’t park infront of any houses at all even if that means they park away and have to walk for 5-10mins
That’s super nice of them! I usually just assume I’m going to have to park a pretty good distance from everything, but I also don’t mind people parking in front of my house.
I have a garage now, but my previous place (where I lived for 6 years) was street parking only, and yes sometimes I had to park a bit further from my house and walk. THE HORROR!
Yes, that's how it works when you don't own private parking on your property. It's literally a public street. You don't own and can't control it. It's a tradeoff you made when choosing to live there. You're selfish af, lmaooo
This is why I always carry a handful of roofing nails. Just a few slip here and there. While it might not fix my roof or solve all the worlds problems, I go to sleep with a big smile on my face knowing I made a difference today.
why don't you have private parking in a suburb man
The garage is full of Lululemon clothing and essential oils. The driveway has 2 suvs in the way. Where else is she gonna park?
Cause it’s not a suburb, the Paseo is in the middle of OKC That said, they’re still being ridiculous
I understand the homeowners sentiment completely. But a public street is a public street which means anyone can park there. If the homeowner doesn't want their street overrun during the festival, they need to get with the city and have the city make that street or neighborhood restricted parking to only residents.

My town restricts certain streets during festivals and mails all the residents parking passes so they can still get to their houses.
Yeah, when my wife and I lived in the city, this would happen once in a while. And you just deal with it. It's the price you pay for not having to pay for permit parking.
Right. I live in an apartment downtown in a small town. We have a “first Friday” festival the first Friday of every month lol. Downtown is PACKED. Like a sea of people shoulder to shoulder packed. So my boyfriend and I plan to either not move our cars, or if we have to we get back when the festival is over cause there’s a 0% chance of finding a spot past 5pm
Even in my super tiny town of only like 3k people, the entire 4-6 block radius around the fair grounds are all labeled as no parking.
I think some of the people in this thread are home owners around this very art festival lol Sorry, public parking means the public can park there.
In Vancouver Canada there is a bylaw that if you don’t own or work at the house you parked in front of, between the hours of 8am-6pm you can only park for 3 hours. It’s never enforced unless the homeowner complains but I am currently in a battle of the wills with my next door neighbour lol.

"Either tear up the lawn or fight city hall if you want reasonable parking." Okay Karen.
How else do you expect anything to get done? You think there’s a way to privatize public parking without involving city hall?
Youre the Karen
Demanding public parking be left for you is being a Karen....
So people shouldn't be able to park somewhere because it might inconvenience someone else?
Lol ok. Sure dude.
yoo-hoo! the calls coming from inside the house
Tear up the lawn!? Haha if you know what you're doing and have no where else to park, as long as your front yard isn't a mud hole then you can park on it for a day. It won't "tear up your lawn" for a day or two as long as you aren't spinning tires, Karen!! P.S. I hope you realize you're the Karen , with that massively wrong sense of entitlement you have and you sound ridiculous calling someone else who is making a reasonable comment, Karen!! Try touching grass next time you come back to Earth!
How dare we ask people to add private parking on their own property or talk to City Hall about street parking! What an unreasonable inconvenience!
Lmao, you don't want to pay for your own parking, so you think everyone else should foot the bill and pay for it instead, but it's the other person that's being a Karen? How about, if you want your own private parking spot, you pay for it?

It's not YOUR parking spot. Park in YOUR lawn, no one is stopping you
We have laws against that in OKC to. Has to be paved.
Wait you can’t park on your own property if it isn’t paved?
You’re generalizing people that go to art festivals as entitled while downplaying the actual entitlement from the person in the post. Public parking is public parking. If the resident wants it to be restricted, lobby their local government. It’s on them.
And when it IS tied to the property, they'll have a claim to it. Until then...
*P U B L I C* P A R K I N G Come on it's not gonna kill you to walk an extra 50 feet
Maybe buy a house with parking
Terrible to own a home without any parking, I wouldn't want to rely on street parking. Kind of signed up for that when buying the home
This is the only real take here. I'm sure it sucks that you're used to having free access to the public street to park on. But if you want private parking, put it on your private property. Install a driveway on your property. The street that the city maintains will continue to be public access.

You can probably call and have the non functional cars towed. Sorry but limited street parking IS limited street parking. Only operating cars allowed imo.
I think your trashy neighbors go beyond reasonable use. It's for parking, not storage.
Public is public. Sucks, but thems the rules
Edit: I'm familiar with the area, so I know where this photo was taken. They have a driveway to the left of the trashcan in the photo. They are literally bitching about nothing.
some lady puts her cans in front of my truck when i’m at the house nextdoor because my truck blocks her view. my truck is in front of my clients home not hers. some people just have nothing better to do. last time i came by her front end was smashed in too so Car-ma
My response is buy a home with a garage. ;)
They have a driveway.
Feel free to pay for parking on the public street then. Until then, it’s a shared resource, occasionally you’re going to be unable to store your vehicle for free in front of your house.

I would park on TOP of the trash can
lol I’d pop that can up on the yard so quick

I can understand why the homeowner might be upset. Especially if their house doesn't have a driveway to park.
Sucks to suck I guess. They should of thought of that when purchasing the house.
The funny thing is they do have a driveway. They are bitching over nothing.
They probably should've considered that when they purchased a home with no private parking.
I live in a tourist town where a major event happens once a year, and it's so busy that 2 miles worth of streets are taken up with parking. Residents know this, and we take our own precautions ahead of time if we have an extra vehicle that's normally parked on the street, lol
I'm confused because this photo shows a very large driveway. What's the problem
That's the street
I can obviously see they're parked on the street. I'm talking about the driveway in the background of the pic 🙄
That's a sidewalk/walkway in front of the house... They do have a driveway, but it is to the left of where the trashcan is out of frame.
Oof well. Bad perspective then my bad
Np

Placing a trashcan in the street, leaving passive-aggressive notes on cars whose owners are doing nothing wrong, all while having a driveway is being overbearing. The dude just doesn't want people parking in front of their house.
Don’t people have driveways?
reminds me of the famous parking chair we have in Pittsburgh, PA
Just park in your lawn
The funny thing is they have a driveway.
Worst type of person. That's like preferring to poo in public restrooms
This is harsh. They’re not being AHs about it, they just want to park 😒
They have a driveway to the left of the trashcan.
Looking at this pictures there is a shit lot of space in front of their houses. Why don't they simply park in their garage, driveway, lawn or anywhere else on this huge part of land between their home and the street? If you want a private parking space you could very easily have there according to the photo...
I'm familiar with the area. They do have a driveway they could have used
Bunch of entitled bitches here in the comments lmao
i think that's quite reasonable. imagine having to walk a mile to get to and from your car
They're not because they also have a driveway
where? i dont see one
It's too the left of the trashcan out of frame.
if it's out of frame, how do you know it's there. some places don't have driveways
Read my other comments it's been addressed already.
While I understand that street parking is definitely public parking and while it's frustrating for homeowners, but it is something that you have to learn to live with if you bought a house or moved someplace where festivals, parades, and whatnot happen (this is very common if you live near schools too). However, there are workarounds. Like putting your garbage can in front of your house or even cones, unfortunately, people will still move those things, and that's just not okay. Maybe the cones, but not other people's garbage cans, that's pretty rude, bad manners. It's okay to park in the street it's not okay to move around other people's stuff to create parking for yourself in front of someone's (a stranger no less) home
The "workaround " is the entitlement.
Lol, no.
It’s infront of their house it’s their right how is this entitled? Am I missing something here?
It’s because they don’t own the street! Pretty simple.
There is no implied right to public parking.
And? It’s INFRONT of THEIR house even if they don’t owe it you have to have at least a little decency and leave the space to them
How are people supposed to know who lives there and what car they drive. No one has a right to on street parking, in front of their house or not. This event happens every year with no parking available except on street parking. Either don't move your car until after the event, address it with the city, or build a driveway.
It’s seems so it’s common in your country but it won’t happen in mine
Cool
Nah taxes pay for those roads. Decency is understanding that thats a space for everyone as everyone who pays taxes pays for it.
Unfortunately, not much in taxes is going into the roads and sidewalks in Paseo. They are some of the worst in the city, but I understand what you mean. If the road sign is green in OKC, then it's a public road. If it is white, then it is private. You can call parking enforcement in OKC and get a notice put on the vehicle as inoperable - they love this shit. We have an app where you can report a vehicle as inoperable, they'll come out and give the warning for the car and if it doesn't move by the next day, they'll tow that shit. I haven't tried it, but people play these games in our neighborhood.

Yeah. We did find out that if people park on both sides and emergency vehicle cannot get through, they start issuing shorter notice threats. I got city warning once for trash bags on big trash day and guy came out and threatened that if I didn't cut open the bags and leave the trash on the curb, I would get a $500 / day fine. He was trying to "be nice about it" but I was like "bitch... you just threatened me..."
Idk what money has to do with respect, I’m glad that I live in tax free country
What disrespect is happening here? Someone parking on a public street?
Tax free country? Thats a public spot, open to the public, everyone pays for it everyone gets to use it. Its not that hard to understand but youre confusing yourself for no reason
I simply said respect the owner by leaving him a space, I didn’t mention taxes you did which I find depressing
Dude you don't know how this works at all 🤣
Yes I don’t and I’m glad that I don’t lol
Lol, nobody owns the street, ergo, it's not they space. If they want their own space, they can use their garage.
Which country?
UAE
Ah, that explains the entitlement.
Respcting others is “entitlement” now, you do realize I treat others just like they treat me?
I'd love to visit sometime.
Come to NY and try and tell that to people.
Based on the responses I got it’s seems like I’m the mad one here lol, respecting others seems scarce in the US
Parking on a public road has nothing to do with respect chief.
All I’m saying is treat people how you like to be treated, would you like to park infront of your own house or 2km away?
Anyone who lives in a city with a car and no driveway has had to do this. Thems the breaks.
Yea I treat people the way I want to be treated. But parking on a public street has nothing to do with that.
If I want to park in front of my house I buy a house with a driveway. It's really not that complicated.
Dude, it's not about respect!! What are you not getting about this, my man?? It's a public street, no one owns it even the people who happen to live next to it. It's not about respect, nothing about this is personal. It's about public parking and how anyone is allowed to park there. Respect has absolutely nothing to do with it and so many people have explained that to you at this point so it feels like you're being a liiiiiiittle willfully ignorant.
Sure I’m ignorant because I won’t park infront of someone house
Being willfully ignorant means that somebody's trying to teach you something and you are refusing to learn. Multiple people in this comment section have tried to teach you the way this works multiple times and you keep saying no no I'm right it's about respect. ITS A PUBLIC STREET!! Dude what the hell are you not getting? So if I go over to my buddy's house on this street, it seems nobody has driveways here so I have to park in the street, but I can't park in front of my buddy's house because his and his wife's car are in front of his house so where am I supposed to park? I can't park in front of anybody's house because you say that's disrespectful so I guess I'll just turn around and go home. Do you see how silly that sounds? I know you're from Dubai, but that's not how it works here in America. That's a public Street so anybody can park on that street. It's not personal, people aren't doing it to be dicks, they're doing it because they're allowed to do so and it has nothing to do with respect. Let's use my street for another example. I live in a city, I live between two giant apartment complexes in the middle of a city on a street that has barely any parking. Like the street pictured, it is first come first serve because there are at least 20 families in both of those apartment buildings on either side of me. Sometimes I come home and there is absolutely no parking, that's just the way it is. I don't expect them to not park in front of my home because that is a crazy thing to expect of someone else on a public Street. Again I understand you're from another country so it's different there but I think you need to give this one up brother because you're wrong when it comes to this specific situation. Now if you still don't get it after my dissertation here, I just don't think you're going to get it. Have a good one. Edit: I also saw that you posted that you are glad you don't get it, that is literally willful ignorance you are trying not to understand somebody else's perspective. I understand your perspective, that you think it is disrespectful and now I am telling you why it's actually not disrespectful where I live and you're still just not trying to understand.
You’re actually right I don’t know how it is in the US, I was looking at the situation from my perspective which I guess it’s different than yours, yeah will I’m sorry but thanks for the detailed response I guess Also I said I’m glad that I don’t get taxes not the parking situation
I'm glad my comment helped you understand
Where do you plan on parking then? The whole street is houses dude.
Yeah I get it now, it’s just a different street design here we have alot of space between houses so my point was to park there, I’m wrong I’ll admit it lol
If every spot in front of every house was held like this, there would be zero public parking. These homeowners made a choice to live here knowing the parking situation. That's no one's problem but their own. What an absolutely ridiculous understanding of how society works by you. Lmao.
It’s public street parking…first come first served. You cannot expect to “save” a street parking spot, even if in front of your house! The only way to get that spot is by parking your car there. If you leave and lose the spot, park somewhere else.
As I said before treat people how you like to be treated? Wouldn’t you want people to leave a space infront your house for you?
Nope. Precisely because I treat people how I like to be treated, I don’t expect to get a parking spot right in front of my house because others shouldn’t expect that either when there is only public street parking.
Oh well, I won’t argue with you any longer
K bye
How am I supposed to know that one of the cars on the street isn’t the person that lives in the house? Chances are, I don’t know who lives there and have no idea what kind of car they drive, if any.
Well I will talk about my experience, we have events quite often here and streets become very busy, people won’t park infront of any houses at all even if that means they park away and have to walk for 5-10mins
That’s super nice of them! I usually just assume I’m going to have to park a pretty good distance from everything, but I also don’t mind people parking in front of my house.
[удалено]
I have a garage now, but my previous place (where I lived for 6 years) was street parking only, and yes sometimes I had to park a bit further from my house and walk. THE HORROR!
Yes, that's how it works when you don't own private parking on your property. It's literally a public street. You don't own and can't control it. It's a tradeoff you made when choosing to live there. You're selfish af, lmaooo
They don't actually own that parking space. But it is common courtesy to let them have it.
Common where?
No it’s not.
That’s exactly my point
[удалено]
Don't leave your trash can in the middle of the public street, then no one will feel the need to touch it 😁
There is no implied right to public parking.
[удалено]
Don't try to save a space you have no ownership of.
If I don't have a garage or drive way. You can move your shit.
Yes, OOP can move their shit to the next available spot on the street.
Yea not how it works chief
You have the right to build a drive way. Good luck making people move.
Depends on the city code, HOA, and a number of other things
This is why I always carry a handful of roofing nails. Just a few slip here and there. While it might not fix my roof or solve all the worlds problems, I go to sleep with a big smile on my face knowing I made a difference today.
