I appreciate all of the responses and insight. A lot of the comments, though, suggest criminal, reckless, or mean spirited activity (intentionally bumping or scratching their car, parking in the street myself in front of their house, etc.) by me as a means to prove a point. These things are fun to think about, but obviously, I would never do such things, nor do I have the time to do such things, even if I wanted to. Others suggest that the neighbors would retaliate with criminal activity against me such as vandalism to my house while I'm away on a camping trip. I really don't think it would come to that if I did turn them in to HOA and they suspected it was me. They have too much going for them such as raising a family to have stupid criminal charges brought against them.
Others suggest I should just live with it like backing all the way down the street, or load my camper at storage and never bring it to my house. Both of these are doable, but for a variety of reasons, make my life more difficult while facilitating the neighbors desire to park on the street with an empty driveway, which is against HOA rules that they signed in to. Why should I pay HOA fees, follow the rules, and accept that others are not while creating an inconvenience or burden for me?
Another aspect of this is the safety issue. Indeed, fire trucks would have a hard time getting down the street with the parking situation. In fact, my wife nearly got into a head on collision a couple weeks ago dodging a street parked car at the crest of a steep hill. Thankfully, both cars stopped in time, but if they had collided, it would probably have been her fault since she was in the wrong lane.
Again, thanks to all for the insight.
