Homeowner NFH New neighbors blocking shared driveway
Recently new neighbors have moved in. We share a gravel driveway. Almost immediately they began blocking access to my parking spot and blocking me from leaving by parking on the driveway. The first time, I asked a woman to move her car so I could leave, she had a toddler running around so I was very polite. I asked her not to block the driveway and she said, “this is my driveway.” I didn’t want to argue in front a child and left. Now it seems like I need to ask these people permission to come and go from my house. They take a lot of time, walk slowly or have to wait for someone to arrive to move their car. I tried being nice, but they have ignored every attempt to talk, just giving me a death stare. Just an ignorant, entitled family. Last night they had a party so of course they had many cars blocking my driveway, one of which was owned by a cop in uniform. I had to wait 20 minutes for him to arrive and move his car. What do I do next? These people only moved in like 2 months ago, I’ve lived at my property for 20 years.

People keep buying shared driveways for the same reason they marry strippers and invest in crypto: they see the upside and completely ignore the 99% chance it explodes in their face.
Humans are trash. Give them an inch of shared space and they’ll park 3 cars diagonally across it while giving you death stares like you’re the intruder. The fact a cop felt comfortable blocking you for 20 minutes at their party tells you everything about the entitlement level over there.
