I think I must have missed something. You say you can park it entirely on your property, if there are no city ordinances or neighborhood rules against parking next to your house, then what's the big deal. Your neighbor reneged on agreeing to you parking between the houses, so park it there.

This is a continuing problem for many RV owners. I can see both sides--the desire to have the unit at the home and the desire of the neighbors not to have to look at, navigate around, or tolerate these things on property lines.
Unfortunately, an RV like a boat stored outside often do turn into extensive week patches and junk spots--we have all seen these old units next to the house.
I do think Birddog man is correct, we talk about this often and about all we can do is sympathize with the OP but nothing really solves the problem except storage parking or moving to unrestricted acreages somewhere.
I fear that any lawsuit filed against a city code is liable to be an expensive frustration.
Give your neighbors and yourself a break and try to find inexpensive storage.
Right now my neighbor has a friend w/ a 5th wheel parked in his driveway with awning & slides out drinking beer in his lawn chair.....I thought it was funny but we live in the country lol.

Hey Charles, Just curious, wasn't it somewhere between Atlanta and Macon where new neighborhoods built on old farm land out voted the remaining farmers as to where the farmers could park their tractors. Could not park the farm equiptment where it could be seen from the highway? Just curious,A Columbus, Ga. boy. Bumpus4

Is that really an eyesore to you? and they appear to be parked in front of his house. Not yours, correct me if I am wrong?

I’m not sympathetic.
If I lived in an urban/suburban area, I would expect limitations as to what I could do on my little lot because there is a need to balance the benefit to me vs. the negative effect a particular action has on others. For example, I suspect that if I began shooting a high-powered rifle off my front porch that would be frowned upon; and I’ll bet the posters above railing at the RV parking rules be the first ones to turn me in. To my mind, such restrictions are necessary in crowded places for all sorts of good reasons. I would also hope there would be limitations on the use of roads and other public property for the private storage/parking of RV’s, boats and whatever.
If you don’t like those limitations, quit complaining and move to the country.
I can run my dogs, hunt, shoot (even with a high-powered rifle), ride, fish, burn, chain saw, ATV, etc, etc, right out my front door and without the need to ever leave my own land. I can park my MH anywhere I want and it bothers no one - in fact, no one else even knows it is there. I live out in the sticks because, among other things, I like this freedom and am willing to pay for it – both in terms of the substantial investment in the land and the many inconveniences that go with county living.
You can’t have it both ways.
While I agree with what you said, especially on public property…
But that balance on private property should be limited to the health safety and welfare of the community… I would say a RV parked in someone’s driveway, violates none of the above… your example while extreme to the ridiculous would…
If parking on your own property blocks the view sufficiently to prevent safe ingress or egress from another’s property it should be moved to another part of your the property… but I know of no reported case of a neighbor going blind due to a perceived eyesore…

If that was my neighbor I would get ticked off unless this was a short term one time thing (for a week or two). Leaving an RV on the street for a day or two when you are packing and unpacking is one thing. Storage on the street is something completely different. And 4 pop ups for one house? It is houses like this that tend to cause even rational people to want ordinances and rules banning rv's in neighborhoods.

Did I read this wrong: "This guy had 2 of his popups infront of my house for 4 days"
It appears to me the photo is of the Bucky's house, with his two popups in his driveway and the neighbors two popups on the street in front of Bucky's house. The nerve of that neighbor!
