"Early every morning the new neighbors back their car out of their driveway and park it in front of our house. They have room to park their car in front of their own home but choose to park it in front of our home. We do not have any trees that would offer shade for their car, nor do they. The car is left parked in front of our house all day until evening and then relocated back to their driveway."
"Kudos to you for being so even-keeled about this. In another version of this letter, you and your husband would be incensed, and I'd have to talk you down so as not to start a neighborhood war. Frankly, your neighbor's habit seems like a lot of work. But maybe they like to tinker on projects in their garage every day and need the room."
New neighbors consistently move their car from their driveway to park in front of the adjacent house each morning and leave it there all day, despite available driveway space. The parked vehicle blocks the homeowners' kitchen vista and causes irritation, though on-street parking is public and permitted. A low-conflict remedy is to speak politely with the neighbors, explain the lost view, and request a different daytime parking spot. Consider possible reasons like garage projects and propose practical alternatives. A cordial tone and simple request can preserve neighborly goodwill and prevent escalation.
