My husband has never been to TV before and he said, “This is ridiculous, we are not buying here.” In the evening when we came home the trucks were gone but he was still unhappy. That was not the area I was interested in and we bought a designer, where the narrow street was not an issue and he’s okay with things. But he still remembers how frustrating it was at the villa.

That was one of the attractions to the historic side. Many of the streets here are wide enough to -easily- accommodate street-side parking, plus two-way driving. As long as everyone is parked on the same side of the street.
If we have visitors they can park on the street overnight, though it doesn't happen often because our neighbors are considerate and usually try to accommodate the extra vehicles on their own properties.
It's especially good because we have a LOT of walkers, dog-walkers, and bicycle riders in the area, but no sidewalks. In our neighborhood you're more likely to see people standing in the middle of the road gabbing to each other, and cars instinctively slowing down around the corner because they know to expect it.
I love my neighborhood. And the cars that park in it.
