Family Refuses Parking Request From Neighbor
Dear Abby | August 19th, 2025 | Letter 2 of 3
DEAR ABBY: I have a neighbor across the street and two doors down. They have five cars. Four are parked on the street. One constantly parks right in front of our house, which isn't even directly across the street from theirs. The street directly across from their house is always empty. I have asked them kindly with politely worded notes on the windshield to please not park in front of our house. Even though it is a public street, I don't think it is a neighborly thing to do. Was I wrong to request they stop this practice? -- TERRITORIAL IN CALIFORNIA.
DEAR TERRITORIAL: Because parking their car in front of your house bothers you, you had every right to make your feelings known and ask them to stop. I also agree that their continuing to do this after you asked them to stop was the opposite of neighborly. However, unless they are violating parking regulations in your neighborhood, there is nothing you can do to force them to stop. Sorry.
