He has also sent pictures as proof. Basically, he got the runaround. He was told that Penny's office doesn't have anyone on staff on the weekend so they're not in a position to enforce the laws. They suggested calling the police, but it's not a police issue - it's a zoning issue - and the police have more important things to do. <br />We live off of Vale Street and it can be difficult to make a safe turn onto Braddock when the traffic is backed up with people parking anywhere they see fit. It's basically a flea market and the worst part is that they leave behind unsold items. These items sit in the rain until the homeowner eventually drags them into the back yard. <br />Penny Gross and/or her staff need to spend a Saturday dealing with these illegal markets. Penny lives nearby and if she really cared she would at least drive by the problem addresses from time to time.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6246743662284890173.post-86489936863178893982013-11-18T13:35:48.875-05:002013-11-18T13:35:48.875-05:00You also obviously don't know what is going on...You also obviously don't know what is going on.

Regulation is bad, unless its zoning that you like :)<br /><br />Maybe if we had real commerce in our neighborhoods, instead of the "retail gives cooties" seperation of use zoning. <br /><br />Maybe you should TALK to your neighbors about the yard sales the host. Isn't suburban life all about neighborliness? <br /><br />And I doubt very much a few illegal yard sales, annoying as they are, is what accounts for congestion on Braddock. I think it has more to do our approach of no decent transit, no safe walking and biking, and funneling all auto traffic onto a few arterials. Similarly I doubt someone moved to California because of yard sales.<br /><br />And I dont see what this has to do with RSU's. But I guess anything will be used to have an excuse to oppose RSU's.<br /><br />I guess I should be glad people arent using the countys failures at zoning enforcement as a reason to oppose bike lanes. Or sidewalks.
