I love the US but stupid stuff like this really gets me to rethink

not the first time.

i posted a link where (i think its DC) where the law states you do not really own the property from the street to the front of the house. So if you are parking in that area and do not have a "special" permit you can get a ticket.

Government is vile.

I got a ticket in East Lansing while at MSU for parking crooked in my driveway. The Parking and Code Enforcement people there are awful.

It's things like this that make you realize that Thomas Jefferson had it 100% right: "The government is best which governs least."

If citizens were smart (and by and large they are not!), they would toss out the mayor and have every employee who participated in this activity fired.

Sounds like the councilman is working to become the next mayor.

Wow, there sure are some articulate people out there in Toledo

Should be a cakewalk. The incumbent sounds like a tool.

And yet about 50% of the population seemingly thinks we need more, go figure! :|

Nah, that 50% doesn't want more government, they want more freebies; they're just too ignorant to realize it takes more government to do that.

Wow, I can't believe the people of Toledo re-elected this dipshit TWICE:

Carty has a history of doing stupid shit like this.

Besides his many blunders though, he's actually a pretty good administrator, when most Toledo mayors over the past few decades have pretty much sat on thier asses, Carty has pushed through a lot of projects. Revitalizing the downtown area was mostly due to him refusing to take no for an answer.

My friend's brother got a ticket there for having one tire on his lawn. LOL.

I was threatend with a ticket because my truck which was sitting in my driveway had expired tags. It was for sale and I did not want to spend the $50... i never drove it anyway.

This is absolutely unbelievable. More amazing to me that they did it, it's that they thought ahead of time that it was an OK thing to do.

I live in a house at the end of a cul de sac. The sidewalk ends right next to my house, however, I am unable to park on my driveway, because it "blocks the sidewalk" which ends in less than 5 feet on the other side of my driveway. Should I park there, I will get a ticket. Apparently, in order to park on my driveway, I must first move my garage back about 3 feet to make more driveway space.

Glad I don't live in Toledo.
