Sure enough, I got a call from community standards that someone had complained and I couldn't park there. I eventually sold the car and had this little strip covered over in concrete and now it is part of the driveway.

I understand that rules are rules and that normally this practice shouldn't be allowed, but in this case it wasn't hurting anything and it was very temporary.

So it is not allowed by community standards but if you do it, you will only told not to if someone complains. As far as I know there is no punishment for breaking any of these rules as long as you comply when you are first told to do so.
Really don't like the implications of this message!
