Neighbor parking question (long) UPDATE pg. 2
Wulfie:
I would alert the police that you are having this issue with him and that you are having a party on X date and expect that there may be trouble. They may have some advise for you on what you can do.
Do any of your friends have kids that may want to play "Security" Set up something fun for them in the front yard where they can keep an eye on people's cars. If your neighbor starts anything, they can come tell you and you can call the police.
EMuir:
You could force the issue before the open house by having a friend park there. I'd keep a video camera rolling and call the police if neighbour gets crazy. They can talk to him and maybe if he realizes you'll call them he'll have a reason to sit inside and fume instead of coming out to froth?
Smitty:
A neighbour screaming slurs and curses over a parking spot? Time to involve the police. I think this goes beyond an etiquette issue and is really a legal issue.

This.
In fact your DH should have called the cops when J put items in the street and when he was yelling. And you should just ignore (don't engage the crazy) every time they yell and carry on and put things in the street to save their spot and just go inside and discreetly call the cops.
It is legal to park on the street. Full stop. You pay your taxes (I presume ;D ) and you and your guests are equal owners of every [legal] parking spot on your street, and you get to use them as needed.
Cattitude:
May I ask why the police were not called last October? It seems that he was screaming and being belligerent for a long time! I don't give in to bullies so I'd just call the police if he had an issue with one of my friends parking there. I've lived in a neighborhood with territorial parking spaces on the street and if someone asked nicely it was never a problem. But your neighbor is behaving like a boor. He probably threw a lot of tantrums as a kid!
