It is high school graduation time, and when you live across the street from the University of Denver's Ritchie Center, that means many days of traffic, crowds, and noise, since the Ritchie Center hosts 2 or 3 graduation ceremonies per day for two weeks straight. The first two graduation ceremonies took place yesterday, and they will continue through May 30th. And in addition to all those other issues, many of the graduates, their families, and friends like to park in your parking space when they attend the event, since the ceremony is right across the street and they avoid the $10 fee DU charges at its lots. There is a sign at the entrance to my building's parking lot that says no event parking, but I suspect many of these attendees either can't read or just don't give a damn. You can have a car towed, of course, but I myself am always afraid that if you do, the person whose car was towed will inflict as much damage as they can on the car that replaced it. Some condo buildings in the area actually have volunteers at the entrances to their parking lots checking for proof of residence, but that has never been tried at my condo. I would suggest it at the next homeowners meeting, but I know the response would be that since it's your idea, you do it. Best to just stay quiet and perhaps buy a traffic cone to put in your space, hoping the interlopers will just park in your neighbor's spot instead. You do what you have to do, right?
