Using the footpath (side walk for our distant cousins)

[Mick]

Well 2 very large houses been built across from me, and they have raised the land more than a meter, hence they have built ramps extending to the road and taken the side walk , now if I park outside my house they call security as they cannot park outside there's, I park with 2 wheels on the curb, to give cars a chance to get through, these idiots can't do that, but im the onr security gets to move my car, only in the Philippines eh.....

OOOOOH yes.  I can identify with that.  All the idiots around me park on this narrow street in such a way that it is possible but difficult to get down the street.  If I park in front of my house then it is impossible to get down the street so its my fault.  If I park in my driveway then everyone else parks so as to block me in (they do not park in their own driveway as that is reserved for parties.

Only in the Philippines is right.  Good thing I have a motorcycle for the days I cannot get my car out of the driveway.

(To be fair, the neighbors will move their car and let me out if I go find them and ask them nicely.  It was poor neighborhood planning that started this.  The streets should have been wider but the builders ASSUMED everyone living here would only have a motorcycle.  WRONG.  Some have two cars and a couple of motorcycles and 3 aircons and I thought this was a poor country.  Not so much.  The people in my area have lots of payments to make though  )

I know of 1 Expat in Manila &  heard of others here creating useless driveway gates (fake) and claim it was their private driveway entrance even though no vehicle could park on the other side of the gate. Madonna did this in New York back in 2016.

Perhaps you could create a private driveway entrance along your frontage/wall, fix a sign reading no parking, private driveway entrance then park there.

So you wouldn't be allowed to park there either

Well I'm going to stick it to her. Buying the plot next door to me make a big garden and put a drive way, so she can't park opposite it......

Put a small piggery, roosters, chicken pens, store your trash there as well. She'll love you more.
