I don't want to play musical cars everytime I need to use the one that is parked in the garage. All your thoughts and comments are appreciated!
Unless you buy a CYV with a 2 car garage, or one that is on the "dead-end" corner, then yes, there is a problem parking a 2nd car in the street - there is no room in front of a typical CYV - you would be causing a problem for your neighbors. I'm not even sure it's allowed on a regular basis.

Owners are not allowed to park in the guest parking areas - those are for guests only. I'm sure that rule often gets overlooked but I think there would be complaints if someone parked there on a regular basis.

This said, are you sure you need 2 vehicles (cars)? Most here, whether in a designer or a CYV, have one car and one golf cart. Many others opt for a 2nd golf cart. Most don't find 2 cars necessary, but if you do, you would likely need to park the 2nd car in the driveway and do a lot of car/cart juggling. You probably could back the golf cart out without moving the driveway car depending on the size of the car and whether or not you are a good backer. Some aren't.
