The bureau doesn’t issue tickets unless residents complain and, often, those complaints aren’t prompted by people who park in driveways but by those who create cement or gravel parking pads in front of their homes.
And the real story comes out. It always does when you read. I can just imagine the mess they make and obviously the neighbors who pay a mortgage and property taxes don’t want to see a bunch of cars next door.
Thank you for the non-FReeper perspective in favor of government ticketing of vehicles parked in the owner’s driveway.
In my town we have people who literally park on the sidewalk in front of their house, no created cement or gravel pads, just the sidewalk, it is a site to see.
It seems to me that someone should be allowed to park in his/her own driveway or on their own property without getting a ticket. They ALSO pay property taxes and might have mortgages. What do you think should be the limit on the number of cars that can be parked next door? How should this be enforced?
That describes my driveway. Mine is one of the only houses without cars parked in the street. A narrow residential street lined with parked cars is a pain in the butt to drive on, and a hazard to children running out into the street hidden by parked SUVs.
Save us from those wanting a mommy government to wipe their noses.
