re: Home owners who park on the street in their neighborhoods

I didn’t even have to read your bio to know you lived in Houston.

I have a neighbor with a 3 car garage and the driveway is the same width. They have two cars in the garage. When their son comes home from school he parks across the street in front of my house. Drives me nuts. I don’t like street parking in suburban neighborhoods, but our streets are wide, just park in front of your own house.

My wife is the anti-hoarder...we have a 3 car garage and we can fit 3 cars. The worst is the people who moved in 6 months ago and still have stacks of moving boxes in their garage. That’s not trashy, it’s just friggin lazy.

Literally the most suburban thing I have heard.

Remember people getting so uptight because someone parked on the street. Kept them up nights. Could never understand why.

Well that's why they are in neighborhoods without yard/perimeter regulations

This really depends on the neighborhood. If it's some D.R. Horton built-overnight subdivision and you're cluttering up the street with Fiat-Daimler-Chrysler vehicles, then yeah, it's trashy. But that does not translate to every situation.

Better, more universal indicators of trashiness:

1) "Check Engine" light is on

2) Unprofessional window tint job

3) Exposed Sea-Doos

5 cars at my house, 3 drivers. 3 car garage but only fit 2 with fridge, bikes etc in there. Park 2 cars in garage, 2 in driveway and sometimes one ends up on the street. Live in a cul-de-sac with 6 houses, last street in the hood. We all get along great and nobody GAF. These are large lots with a couple wooded lots mixed in. My son is going off to college soon so we can get them all back on the property lol

I don’t park in the street but my garage sure looks like something out of Sanford and Son.

Same except that one is in the yard near the front door and the other are taking up driveway space. If there isn't room on the driveway, my neighbors just park in their yard.

Maybe
