I live in Flatbush, not BP. A neighbor of mine (frum fellow) was sitting on his porch, and watched as someone (frum fellow) parked blocking more than half his driveway making it impossible to pull out. He asked the parker not to block his driveway and the response was “thats what you get for living so close to Ave J”.

It has gotten so that people actually place signs that read. Please do not block driveway, not even a little bit, not even for just 2 minutes.

Another neighbor claims he followed someone who blocked his driveway home, and parked in front of his driveway. When confronted by the homeowner, he asked if he remembered where he was parked for an hour earlier today and said he would be back in an hour.

Another scene I witnessed. Was in a shul, where the Rav lived upstairs and the shul was downstairs. There were (still are) numerous notices not to block the driveway. Someone parallel parked in the driveway anyway (you could not mistake the driveway for a parking spot, ever, unless you wanted to). The Rebbetzin came home and had no place to park. Her husband told her to double park the car and block the blocker. A while later, the blocker came angrily into the shul demanding that the person blocking him, move his car all the while spewing nasty invective about the horrible person who had the chutzpah and temerity to block his car. The Rav replied that he would be out to move his car as soon as he was finished with his chavrusa and refused to discuss the matter further.
