That small bit of grass by the sidewalk really isn't a "lawn". </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/wwyd-if-someone-parked-on-your-lawn/page/2#post-2296739 Mon, 21 Sep 2015 05:34:21 +0000 mediagirl 2296739@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@T.H.O.U.: Guests are allowed to park in the street and in driveways. The street is wide enough to allow two cars to get by with one car parked on the street. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/wwyd-if-someone-parked-on-your-lawn/page/2#post-2296711 Sun, 20 Sep 2015 23:41:41 +0000 MediaNaranja 2296711@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Next time it happens just stick out a sign that says "Lawn Parking: $20" ;) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/wwyd-if-someone-parked-on-your-lawn/page/2#post-2296696 Sun, 20 Sep 2015 23:05:35 +0000 2littlepumpkins 2296696@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>If it wasn't all the time, it wouldn't even bug me, personally. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/wwyd-if-someone-parked-on-your-lawn/page/2#post-2296691 Sun, 20 Sep 2015 22:51:45 +0000 FannyMae 2296691@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>This happens to us all the dang time, I just let it go even though it is irritating. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/wwyd-if-someone-parked-on-your-lawn#post-2296689 Sun, 20 Sep 2015 22:48:45 +0000 agold 2296689@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I would park myself in front of my front window and wait to see who it was. Its rude to park in front of someone else's house, unless its a one time thing for a party. But parking up on the grass? Never acceptable. I'd probably approach the owner about that issue. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/wwyd-if-someone-parked-on-your-lawn#post-2296651 Sun, 20 Sep 2015 21:13:49 +0000 T.H.O.U. 2296651@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@mediagirl: Just curious, when you say its against the bylaws of the HOA to park on the curb, where do they expect guests to park? Are there designated visitor spots? We used to live in an area with pretty strict HOA and you just couldn't park on the street overnight. Even though the streets were pretty wide, during the day people would still often park this way and security would just make sure they were moved by night. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/wwyd-if-someone-parked-on-your-lawn#post-2296646 Sun, 20 Sep 2015 21:07:15 +0000 Eko 2296646@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I get it. The first time I would personally let it go, but it's likely they are at an immediate neighbors house so I would go try to find out whose it is and ask to move it. My parents had this happen to them and my stepdad turned the sprinklers on and soaked the cars....who left their windows down. :silly: Also, even though the first few feet of the property can be used by the town for sidewalks, etc. I don't believe actually means it's public property and anyone can use it. If someone was standing in that same spot it's still considered trespassing. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/wwyd-if-someone-parked-on-your-lawn#post-2296586 Sun, 20 Sep 2015 19:46:25 +0000 Mrs.KMM 2296586@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Wouldn't bother me. That space isn't technically your property and s couple hours of tires sitting on grass really isn't going to harm anything. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/wwyd-if-someone-parked-on-your-lawn#post-2296496 Sun, 20 Sep 2015 17:05:55 +0000 runnerd 2296496@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Seems pretty harmless to me. Only would bother me if it happened multiple times a week. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/wwyd-if-someone-parked-on-your-lawn#post-2296493 Sun, 20 Sep 2015 16:57:44 +0000 daniellemybelle 2296493@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>It wouldn't bother me unless it was happening often. People park like that trying to get out of the street as much as possible. Not a great idea but not a big deal to me personally. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/wwyd-if-someone-parked-on-your-lawn#post-2296490 Sun, 20 Sep 2015 16:50:27 +0000 Rockies11 2296490@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@mediagirl: I do spend a lot of time on our yard and it's me that maintains it, and it just... doesn't bother me. We also have people trek across our driveway and across the corner of our lawn because so much so that a path is worn into it because we live across the street from a busy bus stop and there is no sidewalk on our side of the road. That also doesn't bother me at all. I think it might be a personality thing though, because it bothers my sister even when she's just visiting. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/wwyd-if-someone-parked-on-your-lawn#post-2296477 Sun, 20 Sep 2015 16:30:54 +0000 kodybear 2296477@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>It wouldn't bother me. If there was a curb w a step and they're halfway on the curb then that'd bother me. But as it is no. Where we live, that part of the sidewalk is hoa maintained so not our property. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/wwyd-if-someone-parked-on-your-lawn#post-2296469 Sun, 20 Sep 2015 16:20:28 +0000 travellingbee 2296469@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Looks like the one in front is also on the grass? Honestly I don't think I'd notice that. Maybe. I might SMH about it but I wouldnt think much more about it. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/wwyd-if-someone-parked-on-your-lawn#post-2296430 Sun, 20 Sep 2015 15:23:58 +0000 autumnlove 2296430@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Wouldn't bother me but I'm sure my FIL would leave a note! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/wwyd-if-someone-parked-on-your-lawn#post-2296427 Sun, 20 Sep 2015 15:21:33 +0000 BandDmommy 2296427@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Wouldn't bother me. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/wwyd-if-someone-parked-on-your-lawn#post-2296426 Sun, 20 Sep 2015 15:21:24 +0000 wheres_c 2296426@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Fairly normal around here.

They won't be there forever and grass won't be permanently damaged. #firstworldproblems </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/wwyd-if-someone-parked-on-your-lawn#post-2296417 Sun, 20 Sep 2015 15:07:18 +0000 MaryM 2296417@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I wouldn't say anything about a one-time occurrence. NBD in my mind. </p> <p>I would only be bothered if it happens regularly. Then I'd ask the HOA to send out a notice about it and ask people to remind their guests not to park on grass. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/wwyd-if-someone-parked-on-your-lawn#post-2296413 Sun, 20 Sep 2015 15:04:18 +0000 Smurfette 2296413@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Doesn't seem like a big deal to me. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/wwyd-if-someone-parked-on-your-lawn#post-2296373 Sun, 20 Sep 2015 14:15:32 +0000 Freckles 2296373@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>That street looks really wide so I don't think this is a case of the driver trying to get out of the street. I don't even see cars on the other side! I think it's just someone who is a bad driver and couldn't care less about being on the lawn.</p> <p>If it only happened once I would be a note on their windshield. Next time I would have them towed or ticketed. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/wwyd-if-someone-parked-on-your-lawn#post-2296366 Sun, 20 Sep 2015 14:11:26 +0000 youboots 2296366@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>You could call the non emergency line and ask about the rules on it. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/wwyd-if-someone-parked-on-your-lawn#post-2296359 Sun, 20 Sep 2015 14:07:29 +0000 JoyfulKiwi 2296359@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>What I would do is nothing. That area isn't my property so I couldn't do anything even if I wanted to. I don't think a tow-truck would tow it, since it belongs to the city.<br /> It really wouldn't bother me, because I don't think too much damage would be done from random, short-lived tire marks. But, I suppose if your HOA has rules about it, the homeowner could contact them and they would impose a fine of some sort? Of course, there's the effort of finding out who it is, follow through with the HOA, etc....it seems like a lot of work to me. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/wwyd-if-someone-parked-on-your-lawn#post-2296358 Sun, 20 Sep 2015 14:07:17 +0000 skipra 2296358@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>If they were actually on my lawn I would maybe call the police to see if it could get towed. But I probably wouldn't even notice if they were parked on the curb like your picture. People did that in front of our old house all the time and it was only an issue when trying to grow grass and we had it sectioned off which doesn't look to be the case here. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/wwyd-if-someone-parked-on-your-lawn#post-2296355 Sun, 20 Sep 2015 14:03:13 +0000 Truth Bombs 2296355@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>No, it wouldn't bother me. A car parking on the grass for a few hours is not going to ruin the grass forever. It especially wouldn't bother me if it was my neighbor's lawn. Regardless of the bylaws, no need to be the neighborhood rule police. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/wwyd-if-someone-parked-on-your-lawn#post-2296351 Sun, 20 Sep 2015 14:01:06 +0000 avivoca 2296351@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@mediagirl: Tire marks in my grass do not bother me. If they left huge ruts from spinning their wheels, then yes, I would be upset. A few hours of a tire sitting on the grass isn't going to ruin your lawn. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/wwyd-if-someone-parked-on-your-lawn#post-2296337 Sun, 20 Sep 2015 13:41:50 +0000 T.H.O.U. 2296337@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@mediagirl: nope I think that's just part of living in a neighborhood. I don't thjnk that person was like hey let me drive up on that lawn. They just tried to pull off the road so traffic could get through. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/wwyd-if-someone-parked-on-your-lawn#post-2296336 Sun, 20 Sep 2015 13:40:37 +0000 T.H.O.U. 2296336@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Totally normal around here. We have to pull off the road to keep enough room for traffic. And I wouldn't want my car side swiped and loose a mirror. Assuming it's just for a couple of hours I wouldn't worry at all. </p> <p>Ps even if you maintain a piece of that land it may not be part of your property. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/wwyd-if-someone-parked-on-your-lawn#post-2296303 Sun, 20 Sep 2015 13:09:45 +0000 mediagirl 2296303@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Even if it isn't our property, it is against the bylaws of our neighborhood to park on the curb or the yards. </p> <p>Those of you who said it wouldn't bother you, it wouldn't bother you if you spent hours and hours every year to keep your lawn nice and some inconsiderate person comes up and puts tire marks in your lawn? I don't understand that. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/wwyd-if-someone-parked-on-your-lawn#post-2296295 Sun, 20 Sep 2015 13:00:21 +0000 lawbee11 2296295@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Wouldn't care. </p>
