It's not a thru-street, it's not well trafficked, and the people who live here are pretty much not the correct demographic for race car photography, this is a primarily Asian street in an Asian community. I thought at first that this was one of my neighbors' trailers, since I have a neighbor who has a big 4x4 pickup that he's always loading or unloading dirt bikes from, but apparently not. <br /><br />Cath, I wasn't going to expend any energy, so I dropped an email. They can read it or not. Either way, the trailer is goine. <br /><br />Bukko, see Yogi below for why some businesses will park their trailers on the street rather than rent a space for it. Thing is, that works only if you regularly move the trailer. This trailer's just been *sitting*, which is why the neighborhood busybody called Parking Control. <br /><br />- Badtux the Somewhat-helpful PenguinBadTuxhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01345749557330760251noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9612609.post-5317472592322851022011-04-28T16:02:40.250-07:002011-04-28T16:02:40.250-07:00It's a form of advertising, and I report it im...It's a form of advertising, and I report it immediately, since the various businesses that run this around me have no compunction about parking so as to obstruct sight-lines when you have to pull out into traffic.Yes, I tried calling them first, and was treated first like a prospect, then like an annoyance.<br />Doesn't seem to have stopped them, though. Still 3 or 4 every week parked so that you can't see around them.<br /><br />Now, neighbors are a different story. I agree with Minerva. We apparently share some neighbors, or they have relatives with similar motorhomes and habits.Yogihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18149759309589778285noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9612609.post-31384209626477854582011-04-28T09:39:55.665-07:002011-04-28T09:39:55.665-07:00Bukko's right, it was a good deed.

I don't even complain about my neighbor's motorhome, which they park in front of their house for weeks at a time and block half the lane by rolling out the livingroom into the road. Unless something's really broken down and truly abandoned, I say live and let live.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9612609.post-52267525442390133482011-04-28T06:07:27.028-07:002011-04-28T06:07:27.028-07:00Good onya for trying to help the poor sods, Tux.
