If you don't use your car very often, then be less of a prick and park further down the street where there is more open parking. Its aggravating as hell to live next to what was once a single family home that has become a rental to 5-7 people where each person has a car without any understanding of common courtesy toward their neighbors.
On that same note, if your apt building basement has limited bike storage, only store your bike there if you ride it often. In my building all the daily bike riders have to haul their bikes down and back up 3-4 flights of stairs because of all the bikes collecting dust in the bike room.
Had a neighbor who would always call and report my car as "abandoned; been there for weeks, etc." every time I parked in front of her house for even an hour. I think she just hated Volkswagens.
Waidaminnit gloworm: you mean further down the street where there's more open parking on this street you don't know anything about? What about all the theoretical people down there who have their favorite parking spaces? WHO WILL SPEAK FOR THEM?
After first, I didn't recognize that this was your own neighborhood, and I thought you were being a dickhole. But if it's your hood, shit, park there.
Suggestion: be smarter (than posting on IA) in dealing with crazy ass neighbors. And stop "living moderately sustainably", because that just fucking sucks.
^^I agree you need to stand up to this person,maybe you have tried. Once had a neighbor from hell. It is tough, but you can park where it is more convenient for you. Do what it is best for you. Your not breaking the law. Good Luck, I'Anon is good place to get advice.
"This is Portland for crying out loud. "
Exactly, the new capital of anti-social, whiney, pretentious assholes. Can't blame you for expecting better because these same assholes exhaust an equal amount of effort projecting their false, phoney, superficial, self rightous image.
