He said home owners cannot do that. If they see it happening they talk to the home owner. If you see it you can report it and parking enforcement will come and remove the items.

"Their property line extends into the road"...

Probably the difference between property line and easement

cougarfann888

Correct; at least I think so.

Extra Biscuits

I think I said "to" the road; and the cars park fully off the road and onto

City typically has an easement on your parking strip

Feel free to check Zillow and see how "valuable" that property is

Extra Biscuits

I can see that. I think it would be really hard to have a house there

Bob Vance

if they really bought before stadium was an issue that means they bought when

Extra heinous since those chairs were clearly stolen from the local meetinghouse
