San Diego City also has their ban on overnight parking for 'Over Sized Vehicles' that has passed the City Council. Requires a permit to park in front of your own home for no more then 72 hours. Very flawed regulation, and one that I predict will be sporadically enforced. (As written, a pick up truck with raised wheels and a lumber rack - would be 'Over Sized'. I truly doubt that they will be sited. They will target the RV's and boat owners.) Another question asked that resulted in non response of our area Representative: What happens if you are coming back from a RV trip, and come home on say a Friday night. How would you get a 'permit'. Very difficult on extended trips, to pin down the exact day of return, too many things can cause early or later date returns.
And yes, the local storage lots have very much appreciated the ability to start spiking up the fees for storage.
All of this, to go after those that are illegally slept overnight in their rigs on the public streets and parking lots. At least that was the story. But adding more heads to the overnight traffic enforcement to start citing vehicles for not having the permits, is a clear 'revenue grab' from the City, IMO!
And congrats on the 90% sell of your condo RV parking. I followed your story with interest, and salute you on riding out the down years.
Best to all of us who do not have legal off street parking in California:)!
