Neighbor Problem

[MelodyK]

My neighbor has been parking their commercial vehicle infront of my house every day. There's plenty of space infront of their house for parking their own commercial vehicle, instead of parking infront of our house.
When our relatives plans to stay over for a few days, there's no space for parking. I've asked my neighbor to please park their commercial vehicle infront of their own house, since there is so much space & they refused. I've asked the zoning office and the response was even though it is a residential area but it is a public street.
What should I do now? My neighbor has indicated they are unwilling to move no matter what. Any advice is welcome and thank you for taking the time to read my message.

Check the county traffic codes and the police with respect to parking requirements. Many areas do not allow commercial vehicles to park in residential zoned neighborhoods. If after your thorough research you determine that the alleged vehicle is legally parked, just have your relatives park in the space that you told your neighbor to use. Have you tried taking them a pie or some dessert as a friendly neighborly gesture? Maybe invite them over for a Bar-B-Que or something. You may some day have need for their commercial services. Good friends make good neighbors.

Heres an idea, go to the vehicle at 3am and puncture the side walls of the tires facing your home. Do this randomly over the course of a month and your RUDE neighbor will get the message.If you get caught you can be arrested so be carefull.Your neighbor may have the right to ruin your quality of life but you do not have the same right. This is how our fair and equitable system of justice works. So remember don't get mad get even.But you have to be covert in your actions since we live in a socity that rewards the rude and offensive and penalizes the good and defenseless. Good Luck.(IMHO)

Public street parking is just that: public. It's first come first served. The only way you get designated street parking is if you have a handicapped plackard & petition the city to paint part of the curb green & post it as handicapped parking. Unless it's illegal to park a commercial vehicle, you're stuck.

It could be worse -- you could be trying to find street parking in Chicago!
