This is a good idea. Just tell the HOA you guys plan to get a car and need that designated space.
Im also all about getting on the HoA for this. Even if they are acting like they cant do anything and are trying to push you off, stay on them. Call them or e-mail twice a day until they take action. Their job is usually to be as annoying and petty as possible, so you just have to out-annoy them.

I hate HoAs.

Damn that's a lot of replies. I appreciate all the vandalism suggestions and they are fun to read, but I probably don't want to deal with the consequences lol

I'm just confused on the layout. Post pics of your garage and driveway and how he's blocking it. It'll help us understand and suggest what to do
Here's a pic from inside my garage, and a top down diagram (I live in a condo complex) does that help?

Oh dang, you and Docileorangecup are an item? had no idea lol. Dude is like the first person on GameFAQs who I became "friends" with - like the mutual following type, though I do like him.

This post is probably kinda weird but I wasn't expecting him to come up in this story at all.
Yeah lol he moved here from cali and lives with me now

TentacleDemon posted...
They can't tow it because it's on private property? It's on your property and they don't have your permission to park there, right? How does thay make any sense? Do you live in a condo or something? Here in CA if someone else parks in my driveway I absolutely can call the police and they can ticket and tow the vehicle. Even if they are on the public street and just blocking my driveway, I can call the police and they can have the vehicle towed. They'll most likely go to the neighbor's house and tell them to move the vehicle. But they do have the option to ticket and tow.
I do live in a condo. I was told that the police are only authorized to tow on public property, like if the car was parked on the street and blocking my driveway or something

You know, if he has social media, a name, he could probably be coerced.

Legally, mods, I swear.
Is there any way I can get the guys info from just a license plate? The police lady looked that up but I doubt that's public info. I'm gonna look into it today

But for a serious suggestion, call your local news station and see if theyll run a story about it. Also, contact your HOA and ask about creating a handicap parking space in that area, that way if he parks there, hes breaking an ordinance and can be towed or ticketed on that basis.
Huh id consider the news idea. I guess the problem is they would have to get here before the car leaves. Last night I noticed them around 8pm and they left at like 12:30

Making it a handicap spot is a good idea and I'll try it, I feel like the HOA might push back though lol

A cute cop lady came out and said they can't tow it because it's on private property.
If the cops can't remove a car from private property, then they can't remove caltrops from private property either >_>

They're not allowed to park there but the HOA can't do anything about it ^_^ I can file a complaint ticket online (again) but they take a day or two to respond and the car is gone by then. Last time they sent a "friendly reminder" email to everyone about unregistered vehicles/parking, but it didn't do shit

Im gonna file another ticket and specifically ask how I can tow them

If you need a rule to stop you from blocking a person who uses a wheelchair from leaving their home, youre a colossal piece of shit.

Sure, but if a rule exists, it makes said person who uses a wheelchair far more able to do something about it. So there kinda is still a reason why it matters whether there's one or not.

The clear and obvious thing to do is slash his tires. Make sure theres no cameras, if there aren't then slash em. I'm actually not joking at all. If you only slash 1 tire, it won't be as suspect. Just hammer a nail into his tire.

But the second best thing to do is consult a lawyer and see what your legal options are in regards to suing HOA for not appropriately responding to your requests and this has resulted in you being late to several appointments, trapped in your own house. And/or legal options for suing the driver of the car - which I doubt will go anywhere.

After that, most definitely go to local news. If you're truly handicap, I guarantee you they will listen.

Next, post your story on reddit, like one of the legal advice subs, and see if you can get any help there.

If you are struggling to pay for a lawyer, start a gofundme, and I will contribute to it, and I'm sure people here will to. If you do this in another thread at another time, tag me so I'm aware.

Spray the door handles, that way it gets on their hand. And eventually they rub their eyes.

A side note... Why tf doesn't the HOA have a rule against parking in front of people's garage? They could use that rule to tow any car found to be in violation of said rule, regardless of registration status.
In fact, you should bring that idea up to the association.

Is he parking in an actual parking spot, or is he parked illegally? Sounds like your condo (is it a condo?) complex has designated parking spots, is he in a designated spot in front of your garage? Seems weird they would design the parking lot w/ parking spaces that block a garage exit? The diagram helps but I am still a bit confused.

Im sure your HOA has monthly meetings, go to the next one (it could be on zoom also) and explain your story during the home owner forum, see what the HOA board members say about it.

thank you for the advice! Unfortunately I think it's unlikely there's not cameras in the parking lot of our condo complex... Even if there weren't it's pretty clear I'm the only one who would bother to fuck with his car lol

The HOA told me his car isn't registered with a resident here, so my guess is he's a guest/family member of a resident. I do own my condo unit (it's in a complex) and the parking space in front of my garage is designated as mine.

Yeah im confused as you are about the towing. I provided the reasons I was given in the OP, but it's stupid. Someone on nextdoor said the HOA probably has a specific towing service they contract with, so I am going to try to get that info

I think because he can get away with it :) It's possible theres no other open spots when he arrives, but I've seen him parked there when literally the spot next door is open. There are some limited guest parking spots, but this one is supposed to be for me/my guests...

Yep, it's a condo complex, and he's parking in my designated parking spot. It is a weird choice, but I guess it lets garage owners have 2 vehicles if they want.

Ugh i think the meetings are only twice a year, but i'll go to the next one if this STILL isn't resolved

also the idea that you can't get it towed is not really believable, especially if you live in a major metro like portland? im preeetty confident you can get his ass towed if you try hard enough and it's been fucking months of these topics
It doesn't seem right to me either. Tbh I haven't seriously tried getting it towed until this weekend, but I thought it would be easier. I will keep trying though. It's difficult because he comes and goes unpredictably, and I can't really pursue anything while he's not there. Also I'm more in a suburb area near Portland, not rly in a city
