The car thing is a little different. If he is parking there just to avoid blocking another car in the driveway then okay, but if the have 3 cars and a two car driveway, then the neighbourly thing would be to ignore it.
But doesn't a well-kept neighbourhood have higher property values? That's what I would think intuitively anyway. Since a home is the largest investment most people will make in a lifetime, it only makes sense to protect and grow that investment by maintaining your property and encouraging your neighbours to do the same. Therefore, a car parked on his front lawn is not only unsightly, but also has an impact on my net worth in a round about way.
