My neighbor occasionally parks his car in front of my house.
It usually doesn't stay there for long -- maybe a few hours.
But as of today he has had his car parked in front of my house
for three or four days.

Perfectly legal in most places.


Now, I know the street is public and that anyone can sort of
park anywhere (with limits).

What are those limits? If the car is registered and legal, most towns allow
you to park it on the street forever. Maybe the neighbor takes it out for a
ride during the night while you sleep.


He's making it very difficult
for the letter carrier to get to my mailbox. I'm sure she has to
get out of her car to put mail in my box. Second, he's making it
difficult for the elderly woman across the street to back
out of her driveway. She's worried that she'll hit his car.

Now these may be legitimate complaints. I don't know the law about
obstructing a mailbox, but the carrier does not have to deliver if the
mailbox is obstructed. You could mention these concerns to the neighbor
andhe may neve park there again so it does not get hit by the lady across
the street. Problem solved.


I get along with this neighbor just fine but am worried about my
approach should I initiate a conversation. I don't want to come
across as angry and destroy a good relationship.

Anyone that promotes a web site dedicated to male bashing does come across
as angry and has not had good relationships.
