Neighborhood parking disputes have a way of unraveling quickly into lasting grudges: passive-aggressive notes and relentless attempts to get even for perceived slights. Living in close proximity to other people requires tact, understanding, and communal goodwill. It's surprising how many people don't get this or otherwise refuse to engage in simple pleasantries and goodwill. And it really baffles the mind how many people seemingly feel entitled to their neighbor's property and simply refuse to…
