The drive on the street was so unsafe and inconvenient but he also ruined the entire cool de sac for our kids wanting to play there.

He is now selling his house and all his cars disappeared. That being said my next door neighbor and I felt compelled to park all our 6 cars all over the street and give him a taste of his own medicine. He already complained to HOA but I am not breaking any HOA rules or law. He is furious and I am loving it. I do hope he looses a big chunk of money and he learns how to be a good neighbor in his life journey. What goes around comes around they say, right?

Two wrongs don't make a right. But I would do the same thing.

Ha that's pretty funny.

I've never understood why some people leave $100k worth of vehicles in the sun and rain so that they can fill their garage with $5k worth of junk.

However - I'd still rather live in a neighborhood where a few people leave cars on the street than in a neighborhood with onerous parking restrictions.

Haha! Petty, but I'd probably do the same thing. Lol.

That's pretty funny and something I'd probably do too but I wouldn't want that comp out there for my house.

Unless you are ready to sell, or refinance, there is no glory in high neighborhood comps driving-up your property tax assessment.

Do you live near the OP? Seriously man, just put the cars up so they can sell their house? [end sarcasm/]
