I am not saying that I did not park overnight on the street, I did. If that was all there was to it I would just pay the ticket and let it go.

The problem is that the local LEO's do not enforce the parking laws during the hours and times that they are most needed.
I live a block away from a public meeting house. They have yard sales and weddings and such that bring a lot of people into the area. These "out of towners" park illegally all over the place as well as in front of our driveways.
I also live about 2 blocks from a High School, same shit happens whenever there is an event there.
The friggin' LEO's scatter like roaches whenever these events take place and they let the same shit happen over and over again.
Then they sneak up in the middle of the night and take cheap shots at the tax paying residents who have to suffer with this shit on a daily basis by writing them "overnight parking" tickets for parking in what would normally be safe and legal parking.
Where is the sense in this?
If we call and complain about the parking problems - or GAWD FORBID about someone parked across the front of one of our driveways - we are met with bland ignorance and treated as if we are the nuisance.
Don't the cops have any self respect?:kissass:
 
It's got nothing to do with the letter of the law or even the intent of the law. We call it "revenue enhancement" here :lol:
 
I remember soundly rejecting a house because it was about 2 blocks away from a HS....NO freeking way....not near ANY school....the traffic around schools is just silly anymore.....I walked about 1.5 miles in the snow up hill both ways, why can't kids today???

:crap::smash::)
 
I find that "Idaho looks better by the day" crosses my mind more and more frequently lately. I'm just fed up with all the silliness that people wrap themselves up in today. It's been a long-standing rule of mine never to buy a house that's HOA controlled, but I've learned to expand on that further. The rule for my next house is that I must be able to stand with my back to any given outside wall and not be able to throw a brick on to a neighbor's property. That's a minimum.

I'd agree with you if they would enhance their revenue during peak hours. Why sneak up on the residents at night when there are so many easy pickings during the day?

I would NEVER own a home with a HOA. You can't wash your car, change your oil or even paint your front door without getting the world pissed off at you - and as far as getting a home with some elbow room - I couldn't agree with you more - no more churches, schools or meeting houses. No traffic lights and no asshole borough politics. Most of the cops around here are useless POS just waiting for retirement.... more interested in their cell phones than the world of law enforcement.:clobbered:

It's too much trouble to do it during the day and easy money at night. Tow zone tickets overnight are a favorite, everyone makes money!
 
DV8, you can always to what I would.....pave a circular drive on the front lawn, with a turn around spot up one side, and then park a huge assed FUGLY LARGE truck there with a HUGE FUGLY WOOD PLANK DOUBLE 2x12 for a bumper on it....

bet they won't block your drive THEN.....:goodnight:

I live with a HOA and have no problems...we own the road so no parking tickets or speed limit. Of course no one would park on the road when all the driveways are at least 100'.
 
I had a guy block my driveway one night when I had a couple of friends over and was a little drunk. I knew who he was because he had blocked the driveway before and gone by the neighbors and I had warned him then not to do it again. I have 2 gates to get out of so he "suggested" I use my other gate then took off before I got a chance to beat the shit out of him. Well the 2nd time me and 3 friends rolled his car over untill it ended up on the other side of the road and left it there :) Im still in court dealing with it lol

I love it! Now that's getting even. Sounds like the courts got involved, never a good thing. But I'll bet that guy thinks twice about where he parks now.

You guys keep using the term "HOA". What's that?
