I agree. I own the garage right there(I even have a no parking sign on it) yet people still park right in front of it. The only way I can get people to more is to call the police because going into the bar doesn't seem to do any good. I own two cars and I still have to worry about parking them just far enough so I don't get parked in. I am not a renter I am buying my home so I pay the taxes for the street. If the bar owner doesn't want to do something about telling people where to park I guess I will have to have all my friends park in their parking lot on a day they are busy. As for the trash I moved my trash cans out of my garage and it has helped a little bit with the trash (I guess there are still some people who care) but I still come out of my gate and find empty bottles outside. I have no idea what to do about this.

Why did you move next to a bar?

I moved in the neighborhood over 12 years ago and we didn't have as much of a problem with parking until maybe six years ago. The bar has 12 parking spots and they have to use ours when there is parking only on one side of North Charlotte Street. We have an apartment building with eight apartments and another with four apartments and homes that were turned into apartments. This is why we are having so many problems with parking. We then have people across the street who have their own parking in their yards and still park on the street. We should turn this street into permit parking just like Hanover Street and if you have a driveway you shouldn't be able to get a parking permit!

They are not your parking spaces, they are everyones.

Maybe if they stop turning the houses into apartments and change the ones back to we wouldn't have all these problems. At a council meeting they said for a two bedroom home you need two parking spaces. I think if you are going to have apartments the owner should supply the parking spaces for their tenants in their yards. We have a heck of a lot more apartments then many, many years ago.

Hey Ted yes they are my spaces. I pay property taxes and maintain from the garage to the corner. I own the property not rent

Hey Mike.. I hope if they are YOUR spaces YOU paid to have them paved.

They haven't paved that road ever. They just fill the holes and back over them with their trucks

Entitlement.. Great.... No you do not own them, your property taxes doesnt make it so you own the road..

Nothing illegal here. Just someone that thinks his property taxes makes him owner of the road.

Not illegal, the road is not your property, build a driveway if you want a place to park your cars that is if we let you. If you bought a home without proper parking for yourself that is your fault not anyone elses.

I guess I'll park right in front of my home and take up two spaces so then when the homeowners that live next to me will have a spot. And maybe I'll buy a cheap junk car so then I'll have my spot and can park that car anywhere because it will be old and I won't give a darn about it. If you park to the left of my house you have the drug dealers and cars are being broken into the right of my house. The car will be old so no one would want anything from it! I guess my neighbors and I will have to take up two spots by parking in front of our homes so we have a place to park! Hey, I have a idea, lets tear down the apartment building with the drug dealers and section 8 and turn that into a parking lot!
