Watch out. The neighbors who get mad about someone parking in front of their house. Even though its a public street. Those are the heavy substance abusers and alcoholics most of the time from what I have observed.Fo a sane person its not gonna bother them much if you park in front of their house. Just dont block their driveway.I think the people across the street from me make meth. So they want the quickest route to their car when they transfer the meth from their houselab to their car.i.e they want to reduce the chances and the time period during which they can be seen carrying something and putting it in their car. Hope that helps.

You don't say where you live, so I'd recommend you contact your local government to find out the legalities. I think it's more than just a legal issue, however. I would imagine that your neighbor is more annoyed than anything that you are parking your car on the street when you probably have a driveway you can use. When a homeowner or tenant has his own parking available, I personally think it's unacceptable to consistently park on the street, as it is unsightly and limits the neighbors' guests options for parking.

well i have the same type of problem its just the other way around, my stupid neighbor parks pretty much infront of my house i live in a court and he parks where the end of his car is infront of my drive way so i cant get in and out easily we have alot of cars and we have had problems with them he still does it and we park on the side of the street where we dont bother anybody but there other vehicle would park there usually so they have nowhere to park lol atleast im not infront of anyones driveway and if hes infront of my drive way i have to find somewhere to park my car just make sure ur not in any way infront of his house even if its parked next to his lawn

I do not know the rights and wrongs of the situation. I tend to think that you probably have the right, because the street is public property. but there is no sense in enforcing rights, if your neighbour gets so mad he attacks your car with a hammer. Find out your rights, and get a mediator to sit the two of you down and talk it out. When everyone is happy, it is much better than one "winning".

The public street is the public street. as long as you do not block his driveway or block his mailbox, the parking is open for grabs. Also, you may not know this, but a persons water meter is the dividing line between private and public property. any property, from the water meter to the street, is public access property.

I live in the east bay area. I'm not being rude, it's simply that there are lot of cars and and both neighbors have cars they park in the street as well. I'm closer to my house than I am to his house and I'm in no way blocking anything. His big truck still has room behind my car on the street. I think he's just trying to make a point. He said he owns the spots in front of his house and will have cars towed. I called the local police and they said the street is public property and I can park there but need to move the car every 72h or it can be towed.

I have a similar problem. My neighbor, who I have never had a problem with before for 9 years, just began harrassing my 16 year old daughter's guests that park in front of her house. She tells them that her "boyfriend" might do something to their car or them if they park there. Her latest, "something happened last night that the police are investigating." Then she asks if they were around last night? She parks and enters her house through the alley. None of us on this street have a drive way. She very rarely has anyone parking in front of her house. Now I see why. She doesn't let them! I just don't see the issue, since the street parking is public property and she doesn't have guests over often. Our guests do not stay for an extended amount of time. We don't park in front of her house ourselves. I think it is because she is uncomfortable having teens parking in front of her house. The kids are respectful and move their cars when she barks at them. I just feel bad that they have to go through that when they visit us. I would prefer she just asked them to move and not threatened them with some imaginary boyfriend. It's upsetting. We have decided to just not park in front of her house. She's elderly and may have mental health issues so we'll leave it alone as long as nothing happens to our cars.

I have the same problem-ish and I don't know who in my town to call and find out if the street is a public street (it's one lane but it has a name) or if it's my stupid neighbors property. Any advice? I'm in North Carolina btw.
