Yes, people have a right to own a car, sofa, television, dog, hovercraft, or microscope. However, the City or any of your other neighbours do not have any obligation to allow you to store any of your stuff on their property. You own/lease/rent land? Then keep your stuff on your property (including the dog). Not enough space on your property? Don't buy so much stuff (including a dog, or a car).

A public highway is not a facility for private use. If anyone, including the City happens to grant it to you, it is a bonus - not a right.
