TV Parking

I don't care if my neighbor parks his work moving truck in his driveway. I don't care if my neighbor parks his clunky beater in his driveway. As long as it isn't on my property, or blocking my way, then they can park a sewage truck on their property.

I'd rather be allowed to park my own vehicles/RVs/etc. as I wish, than stop everyone else from doing anything I could possibly be offended by.

Amen. I'll take the random, real world versus a contrived, forced facade of a "neighborhood" any day.

The guy on my right has 3 Taurus SHOs that have been slowly sinking into his driveway since I moved in 6 years ago. And an addition that he's been working on since the 90s. But you know what? He's a nice guy. Helps me out with stuff without me asking (plus my apple trees have been encroaching on his driveway and he doesn't complain).

And I park my 1984 Allegro - a monstrous eyesore by many people's standards - in my driveway without anyone complaining. I can work on my cars when I want, leave an engine or transmission in the driveway for a few days while I'm waiting to dispose of it, leave the garage door open (gasp!) for the world to see, etc. and so on.

I feel for that guy in the story, but to other people's point - he signed the agreement when he bought in there. I hope the courts see it his way.
