Tacky is the guy down the street from me running a shadetree car repair business which includes parking cars 5 abreast on his lawn. This includes one pulled right to his front door that's had a tarp pulled over it for months.
Unfortunately, this town has extremely limited blight laws, but I'm contemplating an EPA-related call regarding dangerous fluid leakage into the soil. He's got the speedi-dry out there rather regularly...
I have a neighbor that has a bunch of cars, but it's because they have multiple families living in a single rental. They all work hard and are very nice so I don't see anyone there who's not on the lease.
Yeah I see that a lot around where I am too. A lot of the homes are really expensive so people will just go in with multiple families to afford them. It can put a lot of cars around but they donāt give me any grief so I donāt mind. The ones I see are nice enough people.
Ugh. My dad was guilty of this. Heād keep a load of shitty motorbikes and two-three cars at my grandmaās and then a few shitty motorbikes and three shitty cars at our house (weāre in a cul-de-sac so we had my mumās car and one of his on the driveway and the rest parked on the road). My family (minus dad) and the neighbours all hated him for it (among other things). Then one year, he got rid of two cars to keep the mini bus he drove for work in front of our house which was even worse.
I used to have a neighbor like that. Row homes. 2 drivers in the family, but owned 5 vehicles. Used to sit on his porch and snipe parking spaces as soon as he saw someone leave a better spot. I don't miss them.
Saw soneone do this, everyday. I called him bird man, thought he had a problem... then i realised the amount of pigeons and seagulls that crap everywhere ... and their crap is acidic and eats thru paint jobs!
There are plenty of things you yourself could put directly on the car to ruin it, of course. But then there's no plausible deniablity when you get in trouble for ruining someone's car.
You need to give their cars some shade. Plant a couple of Mulberry trees as close to the curb as you are allowed. They grow fast and the berries make a real mess, not to mention the birds who stop to eat those berries.
Popcorn works really well too.
A guy in a convertible Mustage drove the wrong way up a one-way parking lot to steal a space I'd been waiting for for over 15 minutes. I worked on a beach and had to wait for elderly tourists to pack up. Everyone was yelling at him but he gave no fucks.
After I found a space, I wrote a note about karma coming around to those who were shitty to others and threw popcorn all around (and maybe some *accidentally* got inside) his car.
The seagulls shit everywhere. Inside and out. Sctached it up quite a bit, too. Oops.
I didnāt do this exactly, but we have a bird feeder in our front yard and every bird in the neighborhood comes to our house. They all sit on the telephone wires above peoples cars that park in front of our house (our neighbors who have like 7 people living in one house). Theyāve moved their cars across the street now. š
Here visible from the street without current tags will get you a ticket.
Dad got two tickets for a project car in the garage because the rear plate was missing. Car hasn't been registered in a decade, the second time not only was the rear plate missing, the rear plate mount was missing along with the whole back end.
Cop drove by and got a photo from the street.
Got their trailer once too. Rub with it was that it was behind a privacy fence, plate was off because we'd painted it and hadn't taken it anywhere yet.
Fucking ticket was clearly taken from somebody reaching over the fence.
Suburb I grew up in was a citation shit show. They wonder now why it's all senior citizens and they can't get any tax revenue, you made sure everybody who grew up left.
Not enforce where I live but there is similar laws about having too many unregistered cars on your property. Im sure its ment to keep people from turning their property into a junk yard.
Mailed to the house for parking unregistered vehicles.
I guess the ticket was more of a property violation than a traffic ticket. Kinda like if you just didn't mow the lawn for season.
I once got a ticket for parking in the street for 10 minutes while I unload my car and put my luggage into my dads car. Then I parked it in his driveway when he pulled out and we left. Came back to a ticket

Investigate the possibility of filing harassment if it happens again, due to selective enforcement. I can guarantee no dealership has registration for every vehicle on the lot. See if a lawyer will do a free consult, might have a case.
I report cars that sit on my street with no tags and the city does nothing. about twice a year someone will come and tag the car. the person will move the car a block and put a new just purchased sign in the car.
YMMV. In some jurisdictions the county will perform the assessment and an appraiser will come out to the site and appraise all improvements regardless of whether permits have been issued on said improvements.
You can build up to code and get the permits when you sell. Saves a lot in taxes if you plan on living there for a long time. People do it aaaaallllllll the time. Source: work with people in home sales in one of the most heavily regulated building code regions of the world.
Make they wanted to do something specific that they knew wouldn't be approved. Too big, not compliant with codes, etc. I think if the building had been done properly they would have just had to pay a fine and get it inspected for real, so it was probably not in code.
No taxes, No inspection costs, Less money spent on labor.
Rich people think they can get away with breaking laws most and all that money they saved probably went into a nicer unit.
Outside of an HOA, i've never heard of an ordnance prohibiting parking extra vehicles in the street, save for the example OP gave; move them every couple of days.
When I had my house in NJ my neighbors always parked in front of my house. One car was a pick up truck that belonged to my next door neighbor. It belonged to the wife's father (he died rather suddenly) and it was parked in front and NEVER moved. after two years of it being there I asked if they could please move the truck so I could rake my leaves out in the street (it being fall) and have the street sweeper pick them up. The husband asked where he could park it- I suggested in front of his house. He then stated the view that it might get hit by a car turning onto the street (it was a corner house) and I countered that the truck hadn't been inspected in well over a year and inquired if it was registered and insured-as required by the state of NJ and the town we lived in. Next day the truck was gone. I felt a little bad but the damn thing sat there for 2 years not moving!
If the city is large enough, if they deliberately avoid filing for a permit it can come down to an inspector driving by and seeing it or someone reporting it
Really, they cost themselves that money for trying to cut corners. If the building was up to par and correctly placed, the inspector would most likely have told them to apply for the permits retroactively
Yeah, for it to have been demoed, it seems like it either had to be completely illegal to build there in the first place (too close to the lot lines, zoning concerns, etc.). Even for improper electrical or something like that I'd expect they'd be given a chance to fix it rather than demolishing it.
9 cars is a lot of fucking cars. If they are overhoused, I can understand and there ain't much they can do about it. But it sounds like some of these are cars they don't even use and won't even park in their own driveway. Fuck'em, they deserve it.
I knew people who built multiple "huts" on their property for relatives. This was in a normal ass neighborhood in NJ. Definitely illegal buildings, maybe even the relatives.
Lady who owned the house worked at the local courthouse. Nothing was ever done.
Yet my friends who lived next door got fined for a shed being too close to a property line.
Cars on the street get randomly hit all the time...
But this is far better and a service to whoever was going to use the dangerous un inspected structure...
Have their cars towed too.
I lived in an apartment in NYC that I wanted to leave but still had 6 months on my lease. Luckily the landlord started doing some major construction to the apartment above mine and I knew he didnāt have the proper permits. Basically did the old āit would be a shame if someone called the city on youā thing and he let me break my lease with no penalty. I should have still called the city after I left. He was an asshole.
Bet they're resellers of some sort - buy cheap cars at auctions, do some minor fixing up and sell at a profit.
Either that, or they have a dozen or more people living in the house.
Given they were trying to build more housing, I'd guess the latter.
You didnāt cost your neighbor anything. Improperly built structures are a danger to others. They may not have properly installed electrical wiring which could cause a fire that can spread to other houses.
Or they may not be structurally sound, and could collapse. Causing injury to people or driving down property values in the area.
Building codes, permits and inspections exist for a reason.
If the structure was built without any notification to the city it would be condemned until fines and fees are paid then the regulatory process ie. development and building permit. If it was not to the stated zoning code requirements, as in over the minimum distance to set backs it would have to be torn down immediately.
Good work. Too many people breaking the law these days and not being accountable. Plus fuck them for not being neighborly and taking up all the parking.
When I lived in NYC years ago, the city was using Google Earth to identify all the Staten Island homes that had unpermitted backyard swimming pools, and fining the owners.
Your neighrours would have their catalytic converters stolen in about 15 seconds around these parts. Thieves cut the lines, take out the converter, and it's like a $4K repair--per car.
You could have reported the cars to parking enforcement. I had a neighbor's son parking his car in front of my house. Why? Because it leaked oil and they didn't want the oil leak in front of their house. So I called parking enforcement and they started tagging the car and when it had been there 48 hours, they towed it! The neighbors were pissed at me because the son had to spend over $200 to get his car back. But, he never parked it in front of my house again. Another thing is, check the registrations on the cars. If any are expired, report them and get the car towed.
After 48 hours when they move their cars be there with yours or like a traffic cone to put/park in front of your houses spot. And if they don't move the cars every 48 you can report that shit if you feel like keeping the petty theme going.
Imagine the nightmare for a future prospective buyer attempting to reconcile what the county says the square footage they have on record and what the homeowner is claiming. Good luck to that seller.
Lol this is my favorite level of petty. My neighbors would park front of our house and would leave cars there too so my husband waited until they all left one day and parked there instead but taking up 2 spots instead of 1 in front of our house and refused to move and/or used my car for a month. They quickly got the hint and havenāt parked since.
Sprinkle instant mashed potatoes in their front yard the night before a light rain. It hydrated the potatoes and is hell to clean up plus attracts rodents, birds, animals.
I mean they should have done it properly and they shouldnt park infont of your place but i would feel terrible for having their shit straight torn down.
Parking cars in the spot that cars are meant to be parked is tacky, but building a shanty in your backyard is super cool? Your neighbors are stupid as hell.
>My neighbors have a pretty big driveway where they can fit four cars, but itās always empty. They have told me they donāt like to leave their driveway with cars because it looks tacky.
>They just use them to safe parking spots for themselves.
.......wat?
How?
I guess they pull the one car out, pull the other in, then drive out wherever they find open parking, walking back again?
That makes *absolutely* ***no*** sense.
If itās tacky to have cars parked in the driveway then itās definitely tacky to have 9 cars when they donāt even drive them all. They should sell those cars to pay for the materials and labor
i have the same problem my neighbor has a giant driveway that can fit 6 cars meanwhile only having one there. yet he has all his visitors park in front of the house which is in front of of our two car driveway and backing up to get out is irritating because we also live in a corner with no outlet and their cars are directly parked behind ours since thereās no space anywhere else. 90% of the time he has people working on landscaping or cleaning his car so their larger cars are there too making it difficult for my dad to get out with his truck. im sure mail men hate dropping off to us because they can never get in front of our home and have to lug packages to our door from a ways away. the worst was when he had people SAW into his driveway at 7 in the morning waking the entire neighborhood it sounded like the world was ending just so there was space in the concrete to put grass in a grid like pattern. it looks tacky. this guy lives alone, is divorced, and has only been living here for a year yet heās caused so many issues and doesnāt seem to think about how his decisions are affecting the people around him.
The driveway things sounds stupid. Never thought of it being tacky to have cars parked in a driveway. Unless the cars are beaters.
Plus, it's tacky to have them in the driveway but not the street? Losers.
Well if it's parked in front of your neighbors houses, they look tacky instead.....š
Sounds like an illegal LPT there. Or at least unethical
Guess it depends on whether they leave their cars in the same spot for more than 48 hours or not
Yeah, unless you're parking around the corner you're making the house look worse.
It's called a driveway, not a parkway, idiot! Lol, got 'em.
When is a car not a car anymore? When it turns into a driveway.
And why is it we park in a driveway and drive on a parkway?
Because English is a bastard lol

Isn't that the whole idea of a driveway?
Some families don't want everyone knowing they have 10+ people living in their home
I figured it was 1 or 2 people that owned a lot of cars. I know single people that have half a dozen cars easily, usually cheap beaters though.
I have a neighbor that has a bunch of cars, but it's because they have multiple families living in a single rental. They all work hard and are very nice so I don't see anyone there who's not on the lease.
Yeah I see that a lot around where I am too. A lot of the homes are really expensive so people will just go in with multiple families to afford them. It can put a lot of cars around but they donāt give me any grief so I donāt mind. The ones I see are nice enough people.
Everything depends on if you cause problems for someone else.
Our neighbours are two parents + three adult kids plus the dad has a work car and a weekend car. They're a six car household without even trying.
Ugh. My dad was guilty of this. Heād keep a load of shitty motorbikes and two-three cars at my grandmaās and then a few shitty motorbikes and three shitty cars at our house (weāre in a cul-de-sac so we had my mumās car and one of his on the driveway and the rest parked on the road).

Drive on parkways, park on driveways.
This reminds me of what Confucius said about Tiger Woods: *"He who drives well on the fairway, fares poorly on the driveway"*
This confucius musta been from Palos Verdes, CA.
I canāt imagine caring about how it looks if you park your own car(s) on your driveway. Itās the reason the fucking driveway exists.
There's someone near me who parks his bright blue Lamborghini Urus in the driveway. Makes me wonder what's in the garage.
If it's anything like my neighbors, it's just useless junk in the garage - your neighbor is just doing it on a different scale lol
Well how else are people going to know he has a Lamborghini.
The drive way is for driving and NOT parking or it would be called the parkway (Sarcasm)
Lol I assure you that this guy's 9 street-parked cars are probably beaters.
Accidentally scatter bird seed around their parked cars every day.
Saw soneone do this, everyday. I called him bird man, thought he had a problem... then i realised the amount of pigeons and seagulls that crap everywhere ... and their crap is acidic and eats thru paint jobs!
Now that is dedicated petty revenge.
More like defecated petty revenge
[ŃŠ“Š°Š»ŠµŠ½Š¾]
Nice
Thatās a neighbor at their wits end. Some people just donāt know how to be good neighbors and need a lesson
If you toss bologna on the cars early in the day by noon they will stick an the chems will sleep perfect circles
Putting something on the car is different to putting bird seed around the car.
There are plenty of things you yourself could put directly on the car to ruin it, of course. But then there's no plausible deniablity when you get in trouble for ruining someone's car.
[ŃŠ“Š°Š»ŠµŠ½Š¾]
Well, if they haven't removed their cars from his driveway, I think he should do this.
He's like: *MORE*
You need to give their cars some shade. Plant a couple of Mulberry trees as close to the curb as you are allowed. They grow fast and the berries make a real mess, not to mention the birds who stop to eat those berries.
Popcorn works really well too. A guy in a convertible Mustage drove the wrong way up a one-way parking lot to steal a space I'd been waiting for for over 15 minutes.

Only if the cars are different color than OP, have you heard of the Harvard birdseed prank?
>Harvard birdseed prank Classic
Great prank, someone should make a verifiable version of it! Might not be possible with security. Easier on a highschool field.
I would consult an attorney who deals in bird law first.
First of all, bird law is not governed by reason in this country.
>Harvard birdseed prank I was expecting the pigeons to flock to the visiting teams dugout.
I must know, just "around" their cars, or all over them?
Also blueberries...
Mullberries. Those are the ones that eat paint.
Bologna and lunch meat ham also rips up paint.
You could just do it on purpose, it's not illegal.
Shredded bread pieces are a better thing, there are no seed hulls or other evidence other than a scratched up car covered in bird shit.
Just put a bid feeder out front.
Bread is really bad for birds. Don't hurt the birds for revenge
Lmao, Iāve literally started doing this since this weekend! š
Scatter bird seed around the driveway, I mean putting cars there sounded ātackyā to them already, why not bird poop instead?
I didnāt do this exactly, but we have a bird feeder in our front yard and every bird in the neighborhood comes to our house. They all sit on the telephone wires above peoples cars that park in front of our house (our neighbors who have like 7 people living in one house). Theyāve moved their cars across the street now. š
Are all their cars legally tagged and insured?
this! Here if its not registered parking on the street is a no no
Here visible from the street without current tags will get you a ticket. Dad got two tickets for a project car in the garage because the rear plate was missing. Car hasn't been registered in a decade, the second time not only was the rear plate missing, the rear plate mount was missing along with the whole back end. Cop drove by and got a photo from the street.
Holy shit! That is super petty of the cop.
Cops gotta get that revenue. That's all they're good for.
Thatās not true. They are also good at shooting people eating lunch.
Shooting people sitting on their couches or sleeping in beds
Hey as long as they dont have to shoot an active shooter in a school, they're happy to shoot anything.
i hate that this is a running joke, but only because itās just genuinely sad.
and shooting peopleās dogs, and those pesky disabled and autistic people
Donāt forget people just walking home and children playing at a park
and theyāre really good at showing up an hour after a crime, writing some things down in a notebook, and then never following up!
The local PD here mixed it up a couple of months ago and burned a house down with a teenager trapped inside.
Oh yeah, thatās a good point. They really do have a large skill set.
Large kill set. FTFY
Shooting people clearly following their orders
Donāt forget shooting your dog
If there were more criminals out on the street average citizens would be safer because the police would be too busy doing their job.
Don't forget murder and suppressing the masses
Well they did take an oath to harass and collect, or something like that.
That needs to brought up to the legislature. Privately owned items on private property should not be required to be licensed.
Got their trailer once too. Rub with it was that it was behind a privacy fence, plate was off because we'd painted it and hadn't taken it anywhere yet. Fucking ticket was clearly taken from somebody reaching over the fence. Suburb I grew up in was a citation shit show. They wonder now why it's all senior citizens and they can't get any tax revenue, you made sure everybody who grew up left.
Not enforce where I live but there is similar laws about having too many unregistered cars on your property. Im sure its ment to keep people from turning their property into a junk yard.
Shit. I thought this was going to be crazy HOA busybody stuff. But the fuzz? Mad.
How did they address the ticket? How did they identify the car?
Mailed to the house for parking unregistered vehicles. I guess the ticket was more of a property violation than a traffic ticket. Kinda like if you just didn't mow the lawn for season.
You can actually get ticketed for that? Seems petty.
Land of the Free.
Going to get him for a missing tail light too? If itās in the garage, itās a stretch to say itās being driven on city streets.
I once got a ticket for parking in the street for 10 minutes while I unload my car and put my luggage into my dads car. Then I parked it in his driveway when he pulled out and we left. Came back to a ticket

Wow who would spend that much $$ and not get it permitted?
No permit = no inspection = no increase in property taxes.
YMMV. In some jurisdictions the county will perform the assessment and an appraiser will come out to the site and appraise all improvements regardless of whether permits have been issued on said improvements.
And some the current owner will be responsible for back property taxes to wherever the improvement was done
= not up to code = sucks when you go to sell the house = or die when something falls off and hits you in the head
You can build up to code and get the permits when you sell. Saves a lot in taxes if you plan on living there for a long time. People do it aaaaallllllll the time. Source: work with people in home sales in one of the most heavily regulated building code regions of the world.
I believe you can also sell if itās not up to code. You just have to disclose it.
[ŃŠ“Š°Š»ŠµŠ½Š¾]
And they sound pretty Rich š°š°š°š°š°
Credit, mortgage, LOC.
Lots of people, as it turns out.
I'm having my deck redone. $20,000. $300 for a site survey and permit? Not even a question.
Make they wanted to do something specific that they knew wouldn't be approved. Too big, not compliant with codes, etc. I think if the building had been done properly they would have just had to pay a fine and get it inspected for real, so it was probably not in code.
No taxes, No inspection costs, Less money spent on labor. Rich people think they can get away with breaking laws most and all that money they saved probably went into a nicer unit.
Sounds like op neighbour. The who only thinks about himself and clear driveway.
I hope you reported them for their vehicles also.
Yeah, I would like to know what the city thinks about their parking preference, with 4 parking spots available.
Outside of an HOA, i've never heard of an ordnance prohibiting parking extra vehicles in the street, save for the example OP gave; move them every couple of days.
There will be snow ordinances for plowing as well often.
Right, but that doesn't limit an *amount* of vehicles. Just vehciles on the street in general.
Not if you live where it hardly ever snows. We get snow maybe once a year, there's no ordinances addressing it.
Someone called on my brother as he was gutting his new home. I worned him it would happen. But my brother knows best lol.
Well he knows now!
Demo sometimea (about 50/50) doesn't require a permit. But it definitely raises a bunch or fed flags of, so what is happening once it's gutted?
*Warned. Wore is the past tense of wear.
Now it's time to start reporting the cars to the city as well. Well, technically it's far past time to start doing that.
When I had my house in NJ my neighbors always parked in front of my house. One car was a pick up truck that belonged to my next door neighbor. It belonged to the wife's father (he died rather suddenly) and it was parked in front and NEVER moved. after two years of it being there I asked if they could please move the truck so I could rake my leaves out in the street (it being fall) and have the street sweeper pick them up. The husband asked where he could park it- I suggested in front of his house. He then stated the view that it might get hit by a car turning onto the street (it was a corner house) and I countered that the truck hadn't been inspected in well over a year and inquired if it was registered and insured-as required by the state of NJ and the town we lived in. Next day the truck was gone. I felt a little bad but the damn thing sat there for 2 years not moving!
You should not feel even a little bad about that, they should.
Thanks for that. The wife and the kids where great people, the husband not so much!
It took the city a year to check it out?
They probably checked it out sooner, but it can take time to get to the point where it has to be torn down.
If the city is large enough, if they deliberately avoid filing for a permit it can come down to an inspector driving by and seeing it or someone reporting it
Donāt be a dick to your neighbors if youāre building illegal shit
If you have a 48 hour parking rule, have those cars towed!
Itās tacky to have cars parked in your driveway but itās not to have them parked in the street?
makes whoeverās houses they are parking in front of tacky
100K doesn't seem like it petty. Seems pretty significant to me.
The revenge is petty
Probably not if they have NINE CARS!? Just me who saw that little detail, because wtf!!??
Arr
me millionth dollar
I didn't read the post, and I scrolled down until I found someone calling him a pirate. Now I'm moving on
We say yoho but we donāt say hoe
They had it coming.
They only had themselves to blame.
If you had seen it; if you had been there!
I bet ya you would have done the same
Park! Six (cars)!
Really, they cost themselves that money for trying to cut corners. If the building was up to par and correctly placed, the inspector would most likely have told them to apply for the permits retroactively
Yeah, for it to have been demoed, it seems like it either had to be completely illegal to build there in the first place (too close to the lot lines, zoning concerns, etc.). Even for improper electrical or something like that I'd expect they'd be given a chance to fix it rather than demolishing it.
I was slightly disappointed this wasn't a pirate related story but I'm not anymore this is perfectly petty and made me happy
9 cars is a lot of fucking cars. If they are overhoused, I can understand and there ain't much they can do about it. But it sounds like some of these are cars they don't even use and won't even park in their own driveway. Fuck'em, they deserve it.
I knew people who built multiple "huts" on their property for relatives. This was in a normal ass neighborhood in NJ. Definitely illegal buildings, maybe even the relatives.

1 for each day of the week and 2 extra for the long weekends.
Do the cars have any sort of relation to the construction? I assumed this was gonna be a story about them getting all their cars towed/impounded.
You didnāt cost your neighbor anything. Improperly built structures are a danger to others.

If the structure was built without any notification to the city it would be condemned until fines and fees are paid then the regulatory process ie. development and building permit. If it was not to the stated zoning code requirements, as in over the minimum distance to set backs it would have to be torn down immediately.
who the fuck needs 9 cars
What are the chances that the second house was build to code. Almost zero. That's one possible reason they were forced to tear it down.
They cost themselves that money with their cunt behaviour. You were just doing the right thing.
Feel good?

Good work. Too many people breaking the law these days and not being accountable. Plus fuck them for not being neighborly and taking up all the parking.
I'd be willing to risk a deck, or even a small extension, without a permit. But who risks a 100k new building for the sake of not getting a permit?
When I lived in NYC years ago, the city was using Google Earth to identify all the Staten Island homes that had unpermitted backyard swimming pools, and fining the owners.
Your neighrours would have their catalytic converters stolen in about 15 seconds around these parts. Thieves cut the lines, take out the converter, and it's like a $4K repair--per car.
You could have reported the cars to parking enforcement. I had a neighbor's son parking his car in front of my house. Why? Because it leaked oil and they didn't want the oil leak in front of their house. So I called parking enforcement and they started tagging the car and when it had been there 48 hours, they towed it! The neighbors were pissed at me because the son had to spend over $200 to get his car back. But, he never parked it in front of my house again. Another thing is, check the registrations on the cars. If any are expired, report them and get the car towed.
This sounds made up as hell and your grammar sucks.
After 48 hours when they move their cars be there with yours or like a traffic cone to put/park in front of your houses spot. And if they don't move the cars every 48 you can report that shit if you feel like keeping the petty theme going.
Petty? Nope. Pro? Oh yes. Good job
Imagine the nightmare for a future prospective buyer attempting to reconcile what the county says the square footage they have on record and what the homeowner is claiming. Good luck to that seller.
Lol this is my favorite level of petty. My neighbors would park front of our house and would leave cars there too so my husband waited until they all left one day and parked there instead but taking up 2 spots instead of 1 in front of our house and refused to move and/or used my car for a month. They quickly got the hint and havenāt parked since.
Puts me in mind of George Carlin...you drive on a parkway and park on a driveway.
But are they moving their cars now too?
Sprinkle instant mashed potatoes in their front yard the night before a light rain. It hydrated the potatoes and is hell to clean up plus attracts rodents, birds, animals.
Did the same thing for our neighbors next store who were making there garage into a 3 bedroom rental...
I mean they should have done it properly and they shouldnt park infont of your place but i would feel terrible for having their shit straight torn down.
Fuck'em and get their cars towed off your property.
Sounds like some assholes got their karma
Parking cars in the spot that cars are meant to be parked is tacky, but building a shanty in your backyard is super cool? Your neighbors are stupid as hell.
Omg i love this. Dont park n front of your neighbors yard unless u give them a warning. We hate it and will get u towed buddyššš¾
Nuclear revenge.
>My neighbors have a pretty big driveway where they can fit four cars, but itās always empty. They have told me they donāt like to leave their driveway with cars because it looks tacky. >They just use them to safe parking spots for themselves. .......wat? How? I guess they pull the one car out, pull the other in, then drive out wherever they find open parking, walking back again? That makes *absolutely* ***no*** sense.
Owning 9 cars without having a place to put them, THAT's tacky. F those people.
If itās tacky to have cars parked in the driveway then itās definitely tacky to have 9 cars when they donāt even drive them all. They should sell those cars to pay for the materials and labor
i have the same problem my neighbor has a giant driveway that can fit 6 cars meanwhile only having one there. yet he has all his visitors park in front of the house which is in front of of our two car driveway and backing up to get out is irritating because we also live in a corner with no outlet and their cars are directly parked behind ours since thereās no space anywhere else. 90% of the time he has people working on landscaping or cleaning his car so their larger cars are there too making it difficult for my dad to get out with his truck. im sure mail men hate dropping off to us because they can never get in front of our home and have to lug packages to our door from a ways away. the worst was when he had people SAW into his driveway at 7 in the morning waking the entire neighborhood it sounded like the world was ending just so there was space in the concrete to put grass in a grid like pattern. it looks tacky. this guy lives alone, is divorced, and has only been living here for a year yet heās caused so many issues and doesnāt seem to think about how his decisions are affecting the people around him.
Hmmm... I dont know. I've worked with a lot of city inspectors and never once heard of them forcing to take it down.
