Sheesh. Makes me happy to be in Virginia, where I can park my Vanagons in my driveway, or lawn or on the street and not get hassled. Of course, the neighbor requested that I not leave my trailer in front of HIS house, and being neighborly, I complied. But I wasn't legally required to do so. Of course, if I park on the street, the car has to have its personal property tax kept up to date and have legal tags. If I park on my driveway (private property) I don't have to have legal tags.
