And now that I think of it, why would it bother you at all if someone parked in front of your house? Your car is in the garage, so you don't need the space on the street to park, right?
I don't like the view. Why can't they park in front of their own house?
Houses needing paint
Broken windows boarded with wood
Broken garage doors
Rotting fences, sagging, falling fences
Half dead trees and shrubbery
Unmowed lawns
Home's siding that is damaged or warping from the house
Mailboxes that dented, half falling down or rusted
Twisted window blinds
Piles of old newspapers and phone books scattered on the driveway or front walk
weeds knee high in sidewalk and driveway cracks
I'm guilty of the rusty mailbox! I have a can of the terra cotta spray in my garage. All I have to do is sand it down and spray it. Always best of intentions...
I always park my car in the garage. It is safer for my car and safer for my home.
Why would I want to advertise the fact that I am NOT home when the car isn't in the driveway as usual?
If my car is always kept in the garage, burglars can't tell at a glance whether I am home or not.
That's just how I look at it.
It is an added benefit that my home just looks nicer and neater without the car in the driveway.
It is also more convernient for me to have the car in the garage.....don't have to deal with rain or snow.......and better for the car....less sun damage, etc.
Can you tell? I love my garage....would never buy a home without one.
Parking in your driveway brings down property values?
