neighbors built a house with no off street parking

what're you gonna tell on me? for putting snow in the street where it will likely be ran over and melt considerably faster than when it was in my driveway? cry baby.
 
One of a few things to suggest...

One is, once you send the first salvo at the neighbor, just be sure you're willing to see it through! It could get ugly! That leads me to #2...

Know that is you say something to them first, they will know you are the cause of their problems.

Now, that said, you've lived by them, do they seem sensible people? I would take it by your description, they aren't... But you haven't said anything about previous interactions with them. Anyways, I agree with posts stating you don't own the street, and your unwillingness to claim your own space by parking a vehicle of yours in the disputed space just leaves an opening to create the friction you don't want. I say, park your vehicles there, if you go out, move another there to save the spot. Take up multiple spots with vehicles parked ostentatiously... Make your point without uttering a word. If they park there, cut the grass with clippings blown all over their car, snow, etc., lol... Maybe even do a carpentry project in front of your house and drop a few nails inadvertently, lol... Sooner or later, even the most stupid, will get the hint!

: )

Good Luck!

I don't want to sound like I'm dumping on Jersey, but it sounds like a lot of the "fine-able offenses" there, wouldn't be a problem most other places.
 


snow plowing and salt aint cheap, who the fvck are you to blow snow on a cleared roadway? thats what they say as they write the ticket.

then theres the whole ground water BS, they want a much rain/snow whatever falls from the sky to soak into the ground as much as it can, vs it all going down the drain to the rivers.

Isn't this one of your amendment rights? LOL

OP, I think the only thing you can do is talk to them. By the picture you posted they have two curbs, so tons of parking in front of their home.

My neighbours do the same thing; no cars in their driveway and park 3-4 cars on the street. The street is a short cul-de-sac with very minimal parking, so they figure they should consume it all. Luckily I have a lane way to the garage and some extra parking.

I chose to park my car on the street too.

they dont have garage door openers so they would have difficulty. maybe I should get some traffic cones and just put them out for no reason

You might get in trouble for that. Although I would likely be fuming too, the smartest and most effective thing is likely to talk to them up front and respectfully (although I can't remember if you did that already).

Spraying their cars would be quite hilarious.
 
I'm not afraid of talking to them, but I dont think it would have any affect. they arent braking any laws, and they are trashy enough if we did talk to them they would do it more.
 


I spoke with the police and he said if they haven't moved on thursday they can be ticketed. how would it be to get a ticket on christmas because you didn't move your car for 4 days. I parked my car back in the garage and now my wifes city vehicle/work truck is on the street.
