Sorry this happened to you. If you were in an RV park I would agree with you about the trees but curb parking on a city street, I disagree.
What good would a sign do telling you of the low tree branches? You admitted that you could tell the branch was low and your wife guided you into the spot. You simply forgot about the tree branch when you left, that’s on you as far as I’m concerned. We all make mistakes and it’s human nature to want to blame someone or something else for it, but learn from the experience and don’t park on city streets.
