Our house backs up to a road like that. The city refuses to put in stop signs or anything to slow traffic down. Its the largest subdivision in the county and on my street alone there are about 20 kids under the age of 5. Its going to take a kid getting hit and the city sued before they do anything about the speeding.
"thank you, that'll be $300 please"
haha, that makes more sense. And yeah, I'd say that 1% is actually pretty typical for a condo. 10% like I said seems absolutely bonkers.
It's international. Same thing in Canada. Whether it's new neighborhoods or old, I'd say 75% of people who have a 2 car garage don't park a single vehicle in it here. And that's in a climate where it's fucking cold 4-6 months a year and getting in to a nice warm car is a treat. I guess that's what car starters are for. The new neighborhoods are worse if only because the houses and driveways are so much closer together that per lot you can only maybe fit 1 or 2 vehicles. So a new subdivision out in the fucking boondocks that has only half the houses built or occupied is wall to wall vehicles on the street. Fun times ensue when snow starts piling up in the winter.Tenks_sl said:
I clear snow for an elderly couple friends of mine, and they live in a cul de sac. The neighbours have about 6 cars, and they park them stupidly in the cul de sac so the county plow can't get in and do it's job. I use my snow blower to clear my friends' driveway and a path through the cul de sac. It gives me very great pleasure to blow snow on top of the idiot neighbours cars. Every single time. All they have to do is park in the driveway, and all 6 houses in the cul de sac benefit from a plowed road. They seem not to care. So they get snow blown on their cars. I love waving at them while I'm doing it.
Start throwing some gravel down before you blow the snow.
Depends. If its in a subdivion cracker jack box then yeah theres not much street space. In older neighborhoods though like the one im buying in it would make me go wtf is this guy doing? Most houses here have more than enough space for 3 cars in the street in front of them on top of the usual 2 car garage+driveway. So there shouldnt really be a reason for your neighbor to be parking in front of your house.
One of my coworkers told almost exactly a story like this. Apparently he has a crazy ass neighbor across the street, and like 3 times in the 6 months he has lived there he has had enough company that some people parked on the other side of the street in front of this lady's house. In every instance they were parked there for like 3 hours and she not only complained to him but also called his landlord. His landlord is a former coworker so he just called and they laughed about it, but I just don't get shit like this.
