Funny how men just do things that are expedient to them and don't care
what the next door Karen's think about it. If it is a problem you bought a house in the wrong neighborhood. |

Quoted: Did ya ever noticed nobody ever fucks with the guy with cars parked on the front lawn, up on blocks, or that maybe has an engine block or rear end sitting in the front yard. Don't give 2 shits about property value, and keeps all the blue state soi boi s from moving into the neighborhood. View Quote He works for the guy that owns the shop that does $20K a month, with a commercial building valued at over a million. Who happens to live in a $850K house with an HOA and owns a ranch where he can do whatever he wants. |

It's so true! You can really tell what part of the city you're in when you start seeing cars parked where a lawn should be.

Quoted: Then there's the people with a nice garage too full of junk to park a car in it. Never understood either behavior. View Quote Same. The super-poors leave everything they own in the front yard...car, grill, playhouse, etc. The regular poors just leave their cars in the front yard. I thought I wasn't a fan of HOAs until my friend's neighborhood lost theirs. People started parking and leaving their lawn business trailers in the street, filling their garages up with crap and parking 5 cars outside. Little Home Depot buildings popped up in backyards, and I even saw some vehicles on jack stands/boats in the driveways. I like a clean neighborhood with no cars outside overnight, color-coordonated homes, and upkept community amenities. When I find the right parcel of land I can just live on my own and not have to worry about it. |

Quoted: I live in one of the wealthiest suburbs in Seattle, almost everyone has a two or three car garage - and the driveways and front lawns are covered in cars. It's because their garages are crammed full with other junk and/or they are too lazy to pull in. I really don't get it, I love having my car secure and dry in a garage. And I hate having to maneuver past all their cars in our narrow street. One upside of the recent explosion of crime here is that people are moving their cars indoors to stop breakins. View Quote Same, I think I'm the only one in my neighborhood who can physically fit two cars in my garage. |

Quoted: Uhhhh...because it affects my property value? Some of you guys need to actually think before you try to be edgy. In my neighborhood, it's only a couple who live in houses that the absentee owner put on Section 8. View Quote God forbid I keep my Christmas Decorations up past New Years H Jose' Karen's will let me know how much I'm devaluing their 30 year mortgage Mc Manson |

My parents do this despite plenty of driveway space.
They're middle class with a very poor mentality. I'll never understand it. |

A couple possible reasons. Those who do so have very little yard or places to park. Less grass due to parking in the yard means less work cutting it.
|
|
I park one car in the grass next to my driveway when I take my Porsche to work (single garage). It's a shitty townhouse community where the greedy developers ended up building more houses instead of the planned parking, so street parking is at a premium. I park in the grass despite having one of the longest driveways in the neighborhood so I don't have to play musical cars when coming home at 8am, and some unfortunate neighbor can park their car in the street instead. If the HOA has a problem they can suck my dick from the back, they fucked owners like me by selling to investors who rented way way over the bylaws, then added a grandfather clause so I'll never be able to rent out this pile when we move.

We're members of the waterfront home master race. All our broke down vehicles and broken major appliances are on the lawn in our back yard along the road.
Joke's on you OP. |

Quoted: I'm not talking about parking a truck in the front yard for 15 minutes to unload a piece of furniture or even the long term anchoring of non-running vehicles on the lawn. I'm referring to the parking of daily drivers in the front yard, often even when there is ample parking space in the driveway. I've noticed that this phenomenon seems to transcend racial and geographic (although it seems to be highly prevalent in Texas) boundaries but the one thing they have in common is socioeconomic status. On the other hand, I never see people of higher means park in their yards. Even the successful first generation immigrants do not do this. View Quote ^ Because it's a rental and they don't give a crap and neither does the slum lord. |

Quoted: why are the well off so uptight about grass View Quote They like things that look neat, niice? I see it as an extension in the opposite direction from the low class that have mounds of garbage everywhere, and toss it out the window while driving through the neighborhood. I don't fall in the kill your dog for pissing on my grass range, but I understand having a nice yard. I spent years trying to grow grass in FL in a sandbox, now I finally can and like having a yard that people compliment. Trying to control your neighbors is a dick move, either way. |

Maybe a better question would be why are people who park in their front yard poor?
|
|
Quoted: Higher class people take more pride in their beautiful yards and homes. They’re also smart enough to know that parking on the grass looks like ass. Poor people don’t know any better or just have no pride. View Quote Oh for fucks sake. "Higher class" does not equal wealthy....lower income does not equal lower class. I know plenty of wealthy folks who are low class trash. We live in a rural area and it is hit/miss. Our property is nice and well maintained. Nearest neighbor has every appliance they have ever owned out in the front yard. It is not my problem/business or concern. He is old, when he dies I might buy his place and tear it all down. Until then I mind my own business. |

i have a 32 acre farm and manicure at least 10 of it , i have no issue running the tractor over my front yard , if that makes me trashy then that makes you a pompous ass

Doesn’t happen where I live..... but I would imagine the oil stain theory probably has something to do with it

I remember my neighbor telling me growing up no one in his area had grass. He said back in the day people didn't have grass except rich people who could afford to have someone take care of it. He is my age and I looked at him like he was but he said he grew up real poor in rural Alabama. Later I was chatting with someone else and they said the same thing, I said that must be an Alabama thing, they were like, "No, hardly anyone they knew growing up had grass in their yards."
I thought I had taken crazy pills. No grass, not worrying where you parked I guess. |

Quoted: Like people that don’t use their garage. I will never understand that either. View Quote As a car guy, that one always blows my mind. Likely the 2nd most expensive thing you own and your house has a room designed for it to live in where it would be safe from weather and thieves. "Naah, we should fill that space with empty boxes and plastic crap and leave the cars outside". It is understandable if you have a wood/machine shop or non car toys (boat, jetskis, motorcycles, UTV etc) in there but I have seen many of my neighbor's garage doors open and it is nothing but crap in there. Where I live I never see people parked on the grass either at their homes or on the side of the road. Just something that isn't done. Some of it may have to do with mentality. In places like CA there are so many rules/laws that people are just conditioned that anything that isn't specifically permitted is prohibited. When I have visited other states (Hawaii for example), it is kind of the opposite. There are no signs saying "don't park on the grass" so everybody does. No parking in the beach parking lot? Park on the grassy shoulder of the road with everybody else. No room in the driveway? Park on the grass. |

I think you couldn't take up more than 25% of your yard with a vehicle. One time in undergrad, I jumped a curb and parked on a hill that people parked on everyday due to severely limited parking. I got a ticket for that city ordinance. Of course, I brought an overhead map of the campus to the DA's office with the police report and picture of my truck in the spot to prove that the ticket was falsely issued as I took up probably 1/100th of all yard. I specifically purchased a house with a 4 car garage because I'm also a car guy. I don't want to park a 75k+ investment outside. Even my ORV is inside, so that I can work on it. I eventually would like to restore an old Bronco and will use the extra bay for that (it's a pull through two and the other two are side by side). |

Quoted: From Adam Carolla's running joke, "Rich Man, Poor Man": Multiple cars on the property. Other examples include: Being really into racing. Outdoor shower. Having a rapper as a neighbor. View Quote I had a outside shower when i was growing up in S California, but I was right on the beach so that might not count. |

Quoted: You do? Damn, you should consider a nicer neighborhood. View Quote View All Quotes View All Quotes Quoted: Quoted: I need cover, not concealment. You do? Damn, you should consider a nicer neighborhood. Yeah, maybe move to one of them upscale hoods where people like Larry Nassar, O.J., the Ramseys, or any of the names on Epstein’s flight log live.

But threads like these make me more thankful I’m very rural with land that I could burn a tire on if I wanted to and no one would complain.

In my area, their cars are always parked in the street in front of their houses. Don't understand why they do that since they have driveways and at least a 1 car garage. At least they don't park in their front yards. I've lived in KY my entire life and never lived in an area where anyone did that.
