Reminds me of lombard street [1]. It can be pretty tiring for the residents to see a constant barrage of tourists, stopping their vehicles on the street to take pictures. Imagine leaving or returning home at "peak tourist hours", how difficult it would be to drive your car near your home. I guess the burden is on a home owner to figure out what they are walking into when they buy a house near a popular tourist attraction.
Oh, and there's also the Martins Beach case [2].

- Xcelerate 11y agoCome on... they're buying a house on Lombard Street. What do they seriously expect? It would be like buying one of the Painted Ladies and then complaining that everyone is taking photos of your house.
- knodi123 11y agoDuring one portion of the year, my neighborhood has small hordes of visitors due to a large wildflower field across the street. Mostly I find it charming, and my worst confrontation involved telling a guy "Hey, please don't park on my lawn", and him replying "oh, sorry, I'll move immediately". I don't see why seeing people taking pictures of a landmark in your neighborhood should be tiring.
- smackfu 11y agoUsually it's because it has some impact on you. Like blocking your driveway, taking up all the parking, or leaving trash.
