Parking in front of the house

I'm renting now and unfortunately there is no garage. All I'm saying is if they do not pay any taxes on the public space, why would they prohibit me from parking when it clearly states that these are public spaces and not their private properties.

=)

No offense too, (i'm on your side)--- but if that homeowner has its own car too( or shall i say 2nd/3rd car(s)), where do you want him to park his? sa tapat ng kanyang kapitbahay or dun mismo sa tapat nya?

however, if he doesn't own one, its a different story-baka KSP lang...

pwede ka rin naman talaga mag park doon, yun nga lang wala kang peace of mind.

lagi mong iisipin yung kung ano pwede mangyari sa car mo.

tsaka sa mga ganyang side streets.. kung ano yung nasa tapat nung bahay mo.. eh parking na talaga nila yun.. lalo na kung marami sila sasakyan.. alangan naman sa iba pa sila mag park.. di mas hassle sa kanila yun..

well you can park naman but the risks are high. siguro best way is makiusap ka doon sa may walang sasakyan kung pwede maki park, pakikisama lang rin for the safety ng car pag dala mo.

meron kaming kapitbahay na doctor, he and his family are renting in an apartment without garage kaya lang yung 2005 Vios niya ilang beses na nanakawan and one time nabasagan pa ng windshield.

IMO it's simple courtesy na magpaalam ka sa may-ari ng bahay kung magpa-park ka sa harap ng bahay nya. He might be needing the space at syempre priority sya.

And for good order's sake, dapat siguro alamin mo rin kung may ibang nagpa-park dun sa lugar. respeto lang po.

This is a side street - purely residential, not a major highway.

I'm just pissed. I believe that as long as I am not bothering anybody and am not breaking any laws, then I should not have been asked to move my car. Yun lang. Thanks again.

The fact the pinapalipat ka nila ng parking, it means they are bothered. As many have stated, it's very risky. Since wala kang ibang parking, it's best na magpaalam ka na lang muna bago magpark. Belive me, those residents don't give a damn about Zoning Rules and/or MMDA Regulations on street parking.

well legally walang basis yung sinasabi ng kapitbahay mo. you can argue all you want, even file the appropriate cases, but it won't do anything to improve harmony in your community (which ironically that's what the law intends to do) and/or win friends. hindi ka naman binubully kasi hindi naman sila ang nanggugulo sayo, it's actually the opposite.

in the end, sila din pakikisamahan mo everyday and in the event of any local trouble or disaster, sila din ang unang makakarespond sayo. so it would be a good idea to stay clear of any issues. unless of course sanay ka nang galit galit sa kapitbahay at walang intention magtagal dun.

in addition, alam ko may slogan na "tapat mo, linis mo" dati. kaya hindi rin ako papayag na may pumarada sa tapat ng bahay ko at may chance na magkalat sya dun (like parking/gas/toll receipts na accidentally nalalaglag) kasi syempre ako maglilinis nun. lalo na kung may oil leaks, maingay or smoke belcher yung sasakyan. like one time may nagpark sa tapat namin overnight. kinabukasan wala na yung sasakyan pero may packs ng jolibee sa pinagparkingan nya. walanghiya.

my 2 cents lang

all valid points ...pero eto ang tanong ko:

ok lang ba sa inyo na parahan ang harap ng bahay nyo ng ibang kotse? what if container van?

**flakez** · January 29th, 2009 01:11 PM

pakikisama lang yan. tulad ung tanong ni badkuk, payag ba kayo ng ganon? nakakailang diba, hindi mo alam kung ano meron don sa naka park sa harap mo. baka mamaya sumabog pa un. hehehe. pero kung nagpaalam ka naman ok na un.
