I can see the argument however in our neighborhood this is not the case. People park all over the place, some streets are more congested than others. Mine is actually not all that congested, neighbor doesn't want her "guests" to have to walk a few feet or park elsewhere, she feels the spaces in front of her house are hers and since this concept is new to me, thus I posted here. We do use our driveway and garage. Our neighborhood is mostly families with teen/young adult children, empty nesters and retiree's. The families with the teens/young adults have more cars, it is just a fact when a household of 4 or 5 all drive.
My neighbors rant was purely all about her, her space and her guests. IMO she went about this all wrong. I am a fairly reasonable courteous person, when approached reasonably and with courtesy. Neighbor was none of these things, as I shut the door in her face I said to my DH "Its a public street, she can kiss my (you get the idea)"
