Neighbor keeps parking in front of my house! (real estate, legally)

It's just simple courtesy to extend to your neighbors. On occasion, when someone on the street is having a party, then I have no problem with a car being parked in front of my house. It's only there for a short time. But when it's a chronic situation (especially when they can be parking in front of their OWN house) I take exception to that, as do most reasonable people.

If it doesn't bother you, are we to assume that you are one of the annoying neighbors who routinely pulls this crap on your neighbors?

You assume too much. You know what you get when you assume.

I have a garage. I park my car there. Like a normal person.

This normal person parks on her driveway.

Long as you're not parking in front of MckinneyOwnr's house, I think everything's cool.

You roll your eyes too much. You may not think it's an issue, but other people do. Being unwilling to concede that is making you look foolish.

A friend of mine just bought a home in Plano not too long ago, and they were in the same boat I was in, they moved crosscountry and sold most of their furniture and things before they left. Consequently, she's bought all new furniture, a few appliances, patio furniture... Point being, there's been a delivery truck making the rounds to her house about every week or so. On some of those occasions, her neighbors kids have had their cars and their friends cars parked in front of her house, making it difficult to move her stuff in. It's happened at least 3 times that I know of, and every time she has to run over there, tell them to move the cars, wait for them to find the keys (kids!) and clear the way for the movers.

So, before you type out that it isn't a big deal to YOU, think about what other people have going on in their lives and be courteous to your neighbors. If it's a chronic thing, no one should park in front of someone else's house.

Well if they are blocking your mail delivery, you need to call the postmaster

This. Otherwise, remove stick from posterior.

Well, if anything, this thread has shown why you are sitting there posting alone on a computer on a Fri night.

Courtesy would be going to the neighbors houses, ringing the bell and saying, "Hi, my name is ___________ we just moved here and are going to have a metric butt load of deliveries in the next few days. Would you be open to allowing the section of street in front of our house to be clear so the trucks are able to park there? Thanks so much."

If having to ask permission to park in front of your own house is acceptable to you, then that is your choice. It would not be to me.
