Yes, it was a while ago that Community Watch said they check Guest Parking Lots to ensure that residents aren't using them for overflow parking. At that time, Community Watch told us they check the license plate numbers every few days to make sure no-one parks there for more than a week or two. Obviously they've changed their position.

We found that juggling vehicles was a PITA, especially if we had company visiting. I loved our CYV, but we moved to get a larger garage and more parking.
