Why did the city that I live in put "no parking" signs on by my house?
Some people that I think work for the city came by my house and put "no parking" signs on the curbs of my house. They didn't put any of these signs in my neighbors yard, why would they just put these signs in my yard. We cant park on the curb of the street by our house, but my neighbors can park on their side of the street. The signs say " no parking anytime". None of my neighbors have these "no parking" signs on their curbs. Why do I have it on mine?

Call your local police department (non-emergency, obviously, this isn't a 911-worthy incident) and ask why the signs were put up. If they don't know, they can probably direct you to the public works department... actually if you have a way of getting that number you should call them first.
Your question is also somewhat confusing to me... it seems like the neighbors live on the opposite side of the street, am I right? If so, the city/town you live in may simply be enforcing a rule about parking, nothing against you or anyone on that road. The road might be too narrow (by public safety standards) for cars to be parked on both sides. Personally, I think more cities need to do this, because of the potential for accidents. There's so many streets in Worcester (a city near me) that people park on both sides, and it's barely wide enough for one car- and it's supposed to be a two-lane road!
Anyway, back to your situation. Be nice when you call - it's not anyone's fault the signs are put up and it's likely a logical decision. I doubt that it's something personal against you, because if it was, that seems like a HUGE abuse of power to me.
Another possible situation is that the part of road you live on is a state highway. There's a road in my town that is state property for about a 2-mile stretch, maybe less. And the speed limit is only 30mph, "highway" here doesn't mean 65mph ;). Or, they could be temporary signs - line painting, street sweeping, etc.
Hope the situation works out for you, or that you can park on the other side of the street!
