re: People parking in front of your house on the street

I have a driveway, so I don't give a shite.

He mentioned they were stay at home moms. That is the answer to the question

Some people have circular driveways in lakeview.
This is only possible if:
1. They installed the driveway before the new zoning laws were passed (post Katrina they changed I believe)
2. They installed it without asking the city
3. They do not have an alley on their property (which there are still strict laws how a driveway needs to be installed)
IMO they are doing absolutely nothing wrong (parking on a PUBLIC street) so I refuse to mention anything to them.

I'm willing to bet none of these people here telling you it is public property own their own homes.
You are a lousy neighbor.

I don't mind as long as they're gone before the mail comes. Our mail lady (understandably so) won't deliver mail if a car is in the way. Same with trash.

I own my home. I see it as a possibility to be polite but not required in any way. I try not to park in front of neighbors and park in front of my own house for courtesy and efficiency. I especially do not expect strangers to conform to this philosophy at all since no particular house will be "proper" to them, but its nice if neighbors do as that just makes logical sense.
To OP:
If I had tenants I might mention it that its not required, but its annoying to hear the neighbors bitch and moan all the time. Your tenants may sympathize with you. I assume they would if they like you. If not, no sweat off your back and you can tell your neighbors you did them a favor mentioning it, but the tenants nor you have any legal obligations nor can you "enforce" it.

Why don't moms just ask your tenants themselves?

Thanks for the well thought out response. I asked them not to park there when they had a new baby they were bringing home. It seemed like they listened for about a month which I felt was pretty good. The tenants are great, however they are med students so they have friends that will come over to study/come in town to visit and this is when the neighbors really complain cause there are too many cars on the street.
Life is good if this is what my neighbors and I have to worry about

I understand that the street is not "mine" and fair game for parking. What does irritate me is my next door neighbors family refuses to park in front of their home. They will literally have two cars in front of my home before parking in the front yard or driveway. This home has a huge driveway too which allows for everyone to park there comfortably but it appears to be off limits.

I don't mind parking in front of my house, but parking in front of my driveway can be problematic for you.

Live in Lakeview...........Put up with parking and street repair problems. It's part of the package.
Posted on 6/22/15 at 4:05 pm to Sid in Lakeshore
Exactly, you deal with lack of parking, garages, driveways, and attempted carjackings.
Posted on 6/22/15 at 4:07 pm to Tigerstudent08
That would suck to have to depend on street parking at your own house.....I'll keep my garage

For people that park in front of their house (Lakeview, uptown, etc.), do you get annoyed if someone parks their car in front of your house? Do you consider the street in front of your house "your" parking space? I've had a couple of the stay at home moms tell me I need to tell my tenants to stop parking in front of their house and that they should utilize the off street parking in the back. I refuse to tell my tenants to do this, it's a public space on a public street and they aren't pulling up on their grass or anything. Typically I blow it off but this has come up a couple times now.
I have never had an issue and don't care if people park in front of my house.
I never park in driveways when working and keep my work truck in the street, usually in front of the customer's house who I am working at.
Though, the other day I was on Urquhart in the Upper 9th (hood, but a lot of hipster whites coming in). This lady comes out of her double screaming at me to move. She has her driveway and all. There was no where else to park, so I had to park there.
Me being the stupid a-hole I am who doesn't shut his mouth. I had to be smart back to her. "You don't even own that house, how in the frick do you think you own that street"?
I go in the house I was to work in. Landlord customer calls, and asks if I just cursed out his wife.
Fuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu.

I don't get why people think they are entitled to city property in front of their house. If they want more dedicated parking spot, expand the driveway.
ETA- with the caveat that you aren't blocking a driveway.

My neighbors pull this nonsense all the time even inventing "driveways" that don't exist. I just laugh at them, bunch of idiots with nothing else to do.

It upsets me when other people park in front of my house, but mostly because it doesn't make sense to me. I realize it's city property and they can park there for 24 hours before they have to move, but why in front of my house? My neighbors will have company and they'll park in front of my house instead of the people they're coming to see. They'll park right where I need to put out my trash cans when the driveway of the house they're visiting is empty. What bothers me even more is when people park directly across from my driveway.

To add to this. My girlfriend lives in the English Village area on a very crowded street. Parking is a bitch and I always park across from her place in front of another home. Had a lady put a letter on my windshield asking me to move, but I saw it as public street space and ignored it. Last weekend I parked there again and she came out of the house to tell me she had lived there 40 years and it was her spot. She has a driveway to the left of her house but refuses to use it because the street is closer to her door.
This wouldn't be a problem if there was parking else where, but I literally have to park a 150 yards away from my girlfriends place if I abide by the woman's rule. Am I in the wrong here if I park there again?
I should add that my girlfriend lives 2 hours away from me, so I'm usually only parking there on the weekends

Nothing I can do about it, but I really don't like it.

Just don't park on the side directly opposite my driveway. I don't care, but I forget you are there and back into your shite.
Some trashy fricks that just moved into the house across the street from me do this.
They could park almost anywhere else yet they choose to be right behind my driveway, halfway in the road.
Like I said, they are trash so I think having a talk with them might not help. I'm going to start parking behind their driveway.
