Hi Everyone. My neighborhood HOA is possibly getting serious about parking restrictions. They have posted signs at the entrances to the community that say anyone who is parked somewhere other than the visitor spots and who doesn’t have a parking permit will be towed. Now, the thing is, we don’t actually have any spots marked ‘visitor.’ We only have those spots marked ‘4 hour parking.’

I’m not sure exactly how we should proceed. I have very strong doubts they will actually start towing people, but you should probably make sure you park in one of the 4-hour spots, just in case. Those spots are located in front of my house, and on the sides of my street. There are also several spots on the other end of the community.

Another alternative would be to park at either the mall or the Home Depot. It’s a very short walk to my place from either location. The mall has a security guard who roves the parking lot, so your car should be reasonably safe.
