In our city, a long-standing ordinance gives the person who owns
the property adjacent to the street priority when it comes to
parking. He can have a notice posted on cars which are parked there for
more than two days, and can have them towed if they're there continuously
for more than a week.
The law is this way, most likely, because Laramie is a college town.
Students in college towns have been known to park their car in front of
someone's house for a month and never move it.
Also, if you live close to campus, students can sometimes consume all
available on-street parking during classes. So, the law also allows a
block to establish a "parking district" with restricted parking for
non-residents.
