Since it's a public street, of course, you're within your rights to park wherever.
However, posts like this make me thankful we live in an neighborhood where it's considered common courtesy to not park in front of someone else's house.
Like another poster mentioned, I'd hate for the view out of my front window to be someone else's car in front of my house.
FWIW, I'd never extrapolate that to a city street -- the custom in my area is for quiet neighborhood streets. The kind with cul-de-sacs and no through traffic -- that describes about 75% of the neighbohoods where I live.
What about a case where someone can't park in front of their own home because of something like OP described? I have a friend in that situation who has a fire hydrant in front of her home, blocking all access to parking in front of her home. If they have more cars than fit in her driveway is it too bad, so sad?
