Gripe, gripe, gripe. Most residents of the villages all want their work done, house cleaned, yards cut for them, window cleaners to clean the windows for them etc, etc. But then complain about people trying to park to do their jobs. Believe me from experience we do not like having our vehicles parked beside the street all the time. Mine has been hit, scraped and rammed with a golf cart more than I care to say. To the point that I had to go buy a dash cam so the next golf cart that hits my truck will pay for it. However the homeowners do need to be able to enter and exit the garage as needed. So if the villagers want to buy a house in the villages and have their work done for them then they just have to deal with people parking beside their house to do their job! Yeah yeah yeah I’m sure a lot on here will not like what I had to post but that’s just it I really don’t care. I am one of those people that park beside the street to do my job. At least I am there every day working hard to earn my money and not sitting here on my butt collecting unemployment for you and every other taxpayer to pay for. Food for thought.

Our road abuts a more major residential street and contractors are continually parking very near the end of our road, causing a dangerous blind spot for those wishing to enter or leave our road.

Some jurisdictions forbid parking within 25 yards of a junction, but I don't know if there is a similar rule in Sumter County.

Thank you
