Maybe next time he parks there someone torches his car? He can afford it and the city could use a little fun time.

It’s not how much you have but how much you screw everyone out of that makes the money game worthwhile.

Just wait for this asshole to park his car in his private spot, then get the car behind to move up and the car in front to back up until they’re barely touching his car and box him in. Teamwork!

some pwerson should shoot a video
Citizens of NYC: carry a small bag of bird seed and peanuts, maybe leftover pizza crusts, and sprinkle quietly any expensive car in that space.

(This is actually the other way round; the post box predates the driveway by 100 years)

That’s DanRiffle’s twitter handle.
He describes himself as
Econ and health policy for AOC. Former prosecutor,
@OneHitters utility man. All tweets my views, not my boss’s. She has her own twitter.
In San Francisco the law is that there has to be an operable garage for the owner to be able to request police ticket people in their curb cuts. It is totally clear from the picture that there is no way a car can enter the building through those doors.
I would sometimes park in front of obviously inoperable garages (one had about a foot of dirt in front of the door showing it clearly hadn’t been opened in years), ignoring the faux no parking signs on them. I would also park on faux red painted curbs that didn’t have the city logo on them. Never had a problem.
Seems like New Yorkers should advocate for a similar law. What legitimate purpose do curb cuts serve if you can’t park on the sidewalk and can’t get a vehicle in the door? Well except as a perk for people who get grandfathered in of course.
One night, park his car… in his garage.

Fine this asshole 2.7 billion and tow him every time he parks his car there.
The way it should be. Curb cuts need to be use it or lose it. If you want to keep yours, say in front of your house, you should have to actually park your car in your garage or on your driveway completely off the sidewalk. If you don’t, then you don’t need a curb cut and it should be removed so that the space can be used for public parking on the public street.

Yes, really. Since June 20th, 2017. Here’s the article if you can read French.
And I should care because … ???
someone in proximity to elected power tweets under the name “Every Billionaire Is A Policy Failure”? I think of that as a good sign.
Ah, thanks for clearing up your meaning. I didn’t understand. Although a freshman congresswoman is only marginally an elected power. At least according to Nancy Pelosi.

There’s more than one reason why someone might park against their own curb cut.
I am unable to access my driveway at least several times a week because of people parking at least halfway across the curb cut, or sometimes (every day for the last two weeks, for example) actually parking IN the driveway. If I can see that there’s a half car space left, which means someone will park there and block the driveway, or a truck/van for service work double-parked nearby, I will park against my own curb cut to keep it from being blocked.
Since no one ever gets a ticket, even if 911 is called, I’m secure in the knowledge that I’m not risking one either.
I’m not doing this because I’m a jerk, or entitled. I’m doing this because other people are entitled jerks, and the police enable their behavior by not doing their job.

Shouldn’t this subject be tagged as #FirstWorldProblem?
How about some ‘fake’ tire spikes?
are you sure about that? i talked to a lawyer about this. he may have been wrong, of course. and the law may have changed since. he told me that the planning permission also granted right of way. that is it gives you the right to cross the pavemant and enter the highway. what is illegal is to block this right of way. so if you’re parked on the property and can’t get out the police will come. if you’re not they won’t.
