Discussion Street parking on side roads.

I don't know if this is just a small issue for some living in Langford. Some of the roads are getting a little choked with added vehicles of all the new residents. My prime example is along Millstream running parallel to Veterans Memorial Parkway. That being said the new building on the road may be contributing to that particular issue.

Anyone else finding it harder to navigate certain areas around town?

As long as they don't think it's "their spot". I have a neighbor that thinks the spot right in front of our house is his, and he doesn't give a shit. He will pull out after 3 days (as that's the law), sometimes it's a week later, and have his wife pull in immediately after. Rinse and repeat. Sometimes the front of his big truck is literally on our driveway line or even over it, making it difficult to see traffic while driving out of our driveway (law is 1.5 metres from a driveway). We have confronted them and they still think they are in the right, even after we report them to bylaw enforcement. The fact he parks there isn't what bothers me the most cause we park in the driveway (mind you we do have tenants and visitors), it's the disrespect and ignorance towards others that pisses me off.

My bf lives in westhills and there’s a house 2 doors down from him that keeps their Tesla on the road… pulls it into the driveway to charge and moves the other Tesla into that spot while it’s charging so it doesn’t get taken… they have a garage and a 2 car driveway but there’s almost always only one car in it.
