I really empathize. We share our driveway with the slumlord-owned duplex next door. There are currently four tenants in the duplex--each with their own car. If we don't park our van waaaay up the drive, they can't maneuver around each other--so I do the nice thing. They don't. They zip in and out of the driveway without ever bothering to check if my kids are outside playing, they're always blasting their awful music, they don't stop their friends from parking on our side, and they are
pigs. Dump their ashtrays and yadda yadda wherever, they don't care. One of these days I'm going to ask the city atty if I am legally allowed to put a fence down the driveway. That'll learn 'em!
So what did the judge say?
We won't find out until about 5 or so tonight.
That was our point with the judge, we have no say, we won't pay. (In my Johnny Cochran voice.) :)
