26. I think Dr. Big Shot was surprised that we challenged him on parking his truck

in our limited parking area.

NONE of the residents on the street park any of their vehicles on the street. We all park in our driveways/garages/carports. Because it's only a single lane road, there is only turn out space for parking on one side of the street, and due to the
configuration of driveways, there is turn out space for parking only on about half the street. It really
makes for limited parking and we all try to respect each other's needs for visitors.

Along comes this jerk, expecting to leave his damn truck parked in this limited parking space all the time!
And he literally did not move that truck for at least two weeks when I first called the police. We've had
other vehicles abandoned on another street in the neighborhood--one you have to enter on to get to our
little dead end street--and I walk my dog several times a day in the neighborhood. I'm aware of what vehicles
have been moved, or left sitting there, for days at a time.

I don't know, but I feel your pain. hamsterjill Jul 2014 #1

I don't know if it's worse. I think some of it has to do with location. femmocrat Jul 2014 #16
