If it's a public street they're well within their rights to park there and have no responsibility to ask. That's the legal answer. The right answer is, the neighbor should ask if it's okay. That's what a good neighbor would do. My son bought a house last year. The neighbors across the street parked in front of the house even though there is enough room for them to park their cars on their side of the street. It seems they don't understand how to use reverse in their vehicles. Anyhow, we were remodeling his home and their vehicle was parked right in the middle of the space in front of his house... so we parked their car in. After that I started asking them if they'd move their car when I needed to park out front with my trailer. The neighbor said "it's a public street you know?" I said, remember that when my trailers are parked in front of your house and my truck is parked in front of my son's. My son didn't want to cause any trouble and asked me not to park my trailers in front of their house. I didn't. They still park in front of his house. I could have fixed the problem. I did decide to pressure wash his sidewalk while their car was parked in front of his house. That nice black mold that grows on concrete ended up all over the side of their car.
