Neighbor Continuously Parked in Front of my House
Looking for opinions...
I live at the and of a circular cul-de-sac. A couple of the homes (like mine) have space for a front yard and sidewalk. A couple of the others have a pie shaped front yard and no space to park a vehicle in front of their home.
One of my next door neighbors has been parking their car in front of my house for the last couple of years and has never asked if it was okay to do so. I believe he feels it's alright because a fellow neighbor with multiple cars - and no front yard - parks one of their cars in front of their next door neighbor's house. That neighbor's drive way is already full with no room for additional vehicles, this is understandable.
My neighbor has two driveways, one a is a two car width and the other has a single car width. Yet, their driveways are empty and rarely used for parking their own cars. Now said neighbor is parking a second car in front of my house. This same neighbor also has a non running truck parked in front of the neighbor on their opposite side (that house is empty and is currently unoccupied - awaiting sale and new owners).
So, basically three cars in the street and none of them parked in the empty driveways.
This is a nice neighborhood yet the cars in front of my house (forgive me for sounding like a snob) are not well kept. One leaves oil spots on the pavement.
I've been meaning to say something for a while and now this second car pisses me off. A friend said to see if I can get a collective opinion before I go off half-cocked.
What's the best way to approach this? They're otherwise okay neighbors.
Sorry for the long post.
