The City of sidewalk shit and smash and grab lootings is cracking down. On parking on your own property
https://newsmax.com/newsfront/san-francisco-california-planning-department/2022/07/05/id/1077370/Parking in San Francisco can be tricky, with the steep hills that the City by the Bay is known for, but Judy and Ed Craine were fortunate to have a driveway where they've parked their car for 36 years.
Then they received a $1,542 fine for parking on their own property, with a threat of a $250-per-day fee if they did not remove their car from the carpad, KGO-TV reports.
The couple told the ABC News affiliate that the San Francisco Planning Department is enforcing a decades-old section of code that prohibits motor vehicles from being parked on a carpad or setback in front of a house unless there is a garage or cover present.
"To all of a sudden be told you can't use something that we could use for years, it's startling," Ed Craine told the station. "Inexplicable."
"I wrote them back, saying I thought this was a mistake," Judy Craine said.
Planning Chief Dan Sider told KGO that the code was adopted decades ago for aesthetic reasons, and that there are no exceptions.
"I recognize that the property owner is frustrated," Sider told the outlet in an email. "I think I would feel the same way in their situation. But the Planning Code doesn't allow for the City to grandfather illegal uses on account of their having flown below the radar for a length of time."
I would be frustrated because the city is basically lawless and won't hold criminal on bail but all of a sudden they go full law and order
Laws are laws but when you decide which ones to enforce society breaks down and no one respects any law
