I received two e-mails so far from norwalkcity.com visitors complaining about residential parking and I am also experiencing issues with neighbors taking up so much street parking spaces. Common reason is that those homeowners are renting out their homes and the additional vehicles are occupying the neighbor’s space.
An email from a Norwalk resident:
My neighbor that is about 6 doors down parks his car in front of my house and doesn’t move it the whole week. We have our own cars that we like to park in front of our house and he has plenty of parking in front of his.
Wouldn’t it bother you if you were in the same situation? Two residents near my house comes to mind. They are notorious on our street for having more than five (yes, 5!) vehicles in one household. One of them are renting out the rooms to two unrelated renters. It gets annoying when their modded Chrysler 300 with an obnoxious exhaust system blasts your window late at night.
The other household is a bit on the overboard. Less than 2,000 square foot house, more than 12 people lives under the same roof. The household is renting the entire house (property owner lives off-state) and their relatives are all living together. It’s rather easy to spot the house based on the number of cars parked on the streets and on their driveway. They even have a motor boat parked on their dead lawn.
If you are also experiencing problems with your neighbors taking up too many spots on the street parking, please comment here.
