What’s not clear from your post, RiceChex, is: are there enough people living in your house that parking in front of it is at a premium? If someone not from your house, parks in front of your house, will you and/or your housemates be screwed out of parking next to where you live?
I am in that situation. The houses are close together, not a lot of curb space, and many neighbors have grown kids and parents living together– 3 or 4 cars per house sometimes. My own case, there are 3 of us in the house so 3 cars in front (and the landlord’s hot rod stays in the garage to avoid the bird turds). Should the next door neighbors have a guest over and just one extra car is parked in the vicinity, chances are one of us 3 will have to park away from our house.
Yes, the street by the curb is public property, but we try to enter into “treaties” with the neighbors to use the space efficiently so that all will have a place to park.
If you have enough places to park regardless of where he puts the truck and you just don’t like looking at it, I can’t be as sympathetic. If he is a noisy &$#^$# then I *can* be sympathetic.
