Whether or not there is a rule for flushing and whether or not TV can ticket someone is not the issue here.

The rules or guidelines were created because we live in a densely populated area. They are an attempt to (IMO) quantify common sense and courtesty. I truly don't believe the developer gets off on creating rules.

The original poster wanted to park in the street in the daytime rather than the driveway. This made it easier for HIM to get other vehicles, including golf carts, out of the garage. By parking int he street he was in front of anther's home who may have wished to have her own car parked there or may have wished for no cars at all. It may have made her ingress/egress more difficult (as in the case with Army Guy that I have seen firsthand). As I2 says, the roads are narrow and the more obstacles cars, cyclists, and golf carts have to navigate the greater the chance for an accident.

Common sense and courtesy ask that you park in your driveway. Or, in the CYV areas that have them, there are overflow parking spaces for your use. (Remember CYVs are a 1 car plus GC garage).
