I used to own a home in Qns - and we were NEVER allowed to sit in front of the home we paid taxes on with a lawn chair as if it were a backyard. If an officer sung by and saw you , you'd be issued a ticket.

I don't think Vic sold a house anywhere.I think she and her husband and child were living at her parent's house.They needed a place of their own and didn't want to rent.And if I remember correctly,she wasn't thrilled with the neighborhood in Queens.
How is it obnoxious? Maybe too blunt but I will always call a spade a spade.
I've seen this type of behavior going on in certain neighborhoods and it's never in the good ones. That's for sure.
Is it a coincidence that 90% of the time this happens in the hood?
I was referring to your twice pressing Vic on why she moved ,not referring to your opinion on whether a bunch of old jewish ladies sitting outside of a building makes the neighborhood a "hood".
The first time was in post # 14:
"I'm curious as to why you sold your house in Queens (where apparently it was a decent area) to buy a co-op in the ghetto?"
In the above post you make three assumptions,all of which are wrong.
Asking the same rude question the second time is what I was referring to as obnoxious.

Actually, the second time I didn't ask. (hint: no question mark at the end of the sentence), it was more of a rethorical question, as to why people make this kind of decisions.
As for my 'assumptions', it doesn't take an athropologist or sociologist to conect a few dots.
people in this thread have already noticed the same thing.

I agree with you. It's also completely irrelevant to the topic at hand.
I think that's a 'hood' thing. I've haven't seen that happening in relatively good neighborhoods.
I've seen adults sitting outside and children playing sports in working-class neighborhoods. No one used drugs or had a gun out.

Either ADD a porch to the house, or do that crap out back. In the garage is just tacky to me. But I've only seen it recently, with certain families...so that's why I'm asking.

Some of those neighbors, not having a porch and wanting to see and chat with some people would sit in their garage with the door open, having an after-dinner smoke or beer. Many men of this era enjoyed working on their cars and would keep the garage door open in order to encourage their friends to stop by and chat. The men would gather around the engine compartment, beer in hand and point and nod in agreement with each other while Carl Perkins or Johnny Cash played on the radio.
I suppose 'tacky' is in the eye of the beholder. I prefer a neighborhood where neighbors have their garage doors open and enjoy chatting with each other rather than having neighbors that I barely know because they come home, drive straight into their garage and only ever venture outside in their enclosed yard with the 8 ft high fence. To each their own, but I hardly think sitting in the open garage makes someone trashy or tacky.
Get a group of kids and tell them to have at it with water ballons,stink/smoke bombs. Get someone with a loud car to just blast it right next to them. Doubt any of this will be effective for too long.
Maybe paint a 'Line" for them to sit behind so there is an avenue of egress.
Its a hood/culture thing. In PR, everyone sits outside, often times the tile from inside leads right outside to the patio.
Just ask em for a beer and some of whatever food they have everyday. then get more people to do so. No one like to give away their beer/food.
Somehow I doubt these old people,mostly old ladies ,sitting outside in the afternoon are out there swilling beer but who knows.
The "papis" when i lived over in Bronx river sure did. And plenty of my "old ladies" in my aunt family could drink me under the table...theres coors light there somewhere lol

I'm sure that on a warm day like today, some of them could definitely use a cold one.
Summer is around the corner, and so are the sidewalk BBQs and free Bachata concerts. lol

I agree as well.
