If only they could do that in regular suburbia here. My daughter had her rubbish bin ticketed because the truck couldn't get to it, the driver had to get out and move it away from parked cars. She doesn't drive and none of the cars are local, they all belong to teachers at the local school.<br />Your garden is coming along well, what about a push mower instead of electric? No power, no petrol, just hand pushing. I'm assuming Laura will be doing the mowing.Riverhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14794655013673748992noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1920860526738969165.post-66705634362723340972017-06-01T22:37:54.890-04:002017-06-01T22:37:54.890-04:00I'm glad they have parking regulations.

The folks with single wide units can also park two cars along their frontage, but must parallel park one of them, and consume their entire frontage. Rather than acquire the skill, most pull diagonally onto their lawns. It amuses me.
