I was on TV tonight!

Kinda sounds like where I used to live. Apartment house across the "street" (it was more of an alley, designated a street so that the city would have to take care of it.) We had a narrow driveway on a narrow street with parking only on one side. The apartment folks insisted on parking on the street right in front of their apartments. It didn't block the driveway, per se, but it made it hard to get in and out of at times. In the meantime the apartment house had a driveway big enough to park about a dozen cars in and still be able to get in and out. The driveway was empty most of the time.

When I moved my Barracuda into my garage I had to time it to make sure the neighbors weren't clogging the street, otherwise the rollback would have never been able to back into my driveway. Kinda sucked to be everyone who lived there when I moved out. My trailer was sitting in their parking spots for two days as we loaded up to move.
