Most can’t get vehicles in the garage anyway cause full of junk. No Law against parking in you’re driveway, just restrictions what you can park in driveway. Just be glad they are parking I the drive way and not on sidewalks, grass, rocks, or in street that want made for street parking.

How am I supposed to park my car in the garage when I am running a puppy mill and a lawn ornament manufacturing operation in there? Get real.

There are restrictions what you can park in you’re driveway in most districts

I must be in the minority but I Like the cars parked in the driveway. It gives a certain sense of security, a sense of comfort. That people are home, the houses are not vacant. Although that is not always the case but it often is. Like garbage day, you know people are home when they put out the garbage.

Some streets look so sterile, lonely, like no one is ever home. They are tidy, but who is even there to see it?

big guy 11-11-2019 11:53 AM

Two people next door with a truck and 3 cars in the driveway and a truck, car, golf cart in the garage. During the day, there was another truck in front of the house. It looked like a used car lot over there. I didn't like it since I couldn't see neighbor's flowers, which were infinitely prettier, but more because it looked so junkie. I didn't call to complain but evidently someone did because the trucks all disappeared and there is only one car in the driveway these days and they give me the suspicious eye.

Velvet 11-11-2019 11:56 AM

Like with salt one can overdo it. One car in the driveway is reassuring to me, a fleet is a problem. Also, I like my neighbors so I’m glad they are home.

If that is the major difficulty she has in her life I pity her. We have to make a choice either the cart or the car can go in the garage. Maybe she could petition the villages to tear down my neighbors house and build me a bigger garage.

Some folks have more cars than there is space in the garage. As an example, 2 cars and 1 golf cart can not all fit in a two car garage.

Besides the 10"X10" area planked by the builder, we had more flooring installed in our attic. We even had wall to wall carpet installed in the attic (was carpet removed from my sister's home so was no cost to us; just the cost of the carpet layer's labor). We have plenty of attic space. Most of the space is accessible without having to crawl to get to it.

Can’t stop you from parking on a county street, road, terrace, etc.. The Villages does not have jurisdiction. In fact The Villages has a whole bunch of rules it simply can’t enforce.

Yes as i have said in the past State and federal Law preempts anything you sign no matter what the almighty tells you!

I can't park under the eaves . That's where I have to keep my flock of plastic flamingos and other lawn ornaments. That's why I can't park my car in the garage.

Note, some homes in The Villages do not have garages.

Including laws that apply to contracts.

I understand what you are trying to say but contracts become invalid for someone to enforce if State and Federal law preempts it. Another wards It becomes moot issue when they are in Conflict with State and Federal Law.
For example the powers to be try to enforce placement of outside antennas.
They Can't enforce this especially when there is federal law specifically addressing this and also case law backing it up.
People give up so many of there rights when moving here due to ignorant s of the law.
JMHO
Don't be bullied just because someone believes it to be a restriction they signed! The Powers to be know some of there restrictions are unenforceable but they try to enforce them by intimidation.

Just wish to clarify this?? Thank you

I don’t think that’s true about you have to put car in garage. By the picture this person looks like they have enough room for 2 more cars. They could of parked those 3 cars in the street & that would of been worse. My point is you better drive around TV & see how many cars are parked in in there own personal driveways. If the rules do say. should be parked in garage. It doesn’t say they HAVE TO BE PARK IN GARAGE! Like I was told once, if you don’t like something, move. Don’t want to sound mean but don’t get your neighbors mad at you. TV is a nice & friendly place to live!

The code is No junk cars, TV parking is time limited I have two cars, two motorcycles and one golf cart. Cars are parked in my driveway.

BobnBev 11-12-2019 09:29 PM

I could never figure out the terminology, You can drive on the parkway but you can't park on the driveway:shrug:

Annoying yes...but nothing ya can do about it.

Annoying when trying to get out of you’re curved driveway when some AH parked half way out in middle of the street and half blocking you’re entry. You can’t park on both sides of street and vehicle pass through unless the vehicles are half on lawns. The 2 foot concrete strip around CYVs are private property, two of the five foot easements in front yards.

Yes, and I am violating the following restrictions:

1. My driveway is made of paving stones instead of concrete.
2. I am violating the two pet policy with my aquarium
3. Some of my shrubs are over 4 feet tall
4. I have more info on my sign than just our names
5. I don't notify the developer when out of town for more than 7 days

Hah! They KNOW that you were thinking about complaining, so you are guilty. Everyone knows that. Want proof? Just watch what is happening on TV in congress right now.

Here in UK, but we never leave any form of transport outside our hovels, we always bring the pack animals into the house at night, and our Lords and masters even have stables to keep theirs in!

Byte1 11-14-2019 12:23 PM

I leave mine in the driveway because I do not want to get my garage dirty.

BobnBev 11-15-2019 02:46 PM

I leave mine in the driveway, 'cause when they pored the concrete for the slab, they forgot to do the garage floor. All I have is a big sinkhole.:1rotfl::1rotfl::popcorn::clap2:

Velvet 11-15-2019 03:42 PM

I leave mine in the driveway because it is convenient and the car matches the house. And the garage is being worked on.
