At my old sub 1,000 square foot bachelor pad starter house most of the houses in the neighborhood had converted the garage into living space. I was one of the rare houses with a garage, a small single car garage.

My neighbors had one single driveway, and they parked the multiple cars in front of their house, and in front of mine. My guest rarely could find a place to park, except in my driveway. I had asked them nicely to leave the spot in front of my house open for my friends to use when visiting me, but they never did.

One of my friends had a Cadillac project car, that he bought and was mostly going to be a parts car. It was tagged and ran, but not well. I had him bring it over, and parked it in front of my house one day when the neighbors were at work. Shortly after that I saw a rare event, the spot in front of their house was open, so I parked it there. Perfect.

The neighbors were not about to call the cops, as they had all their junky cars parked in the neighborhood. They finally asked if I knew anything about it. I said I was storing it for a buddy.

They asked me to move it, and I used their line they gave me when I asked them to move their car, it is a public street, and open parking, and convenient for me.

They finally agreed they would not park in front of my house except for short term and not all night. I took the project car back to my buddy.

It took that to get them to understand parking on the street. They finally choked up the money to have their driveway widened to two cars wide and solved their problem, and my problem.
