Anything we can do to when people abuse overnight parking?

[Playtime_II]

Last month while talking with our RV storage lot manager he mentioned that an owner of a 90's era Class A moved out of town awhile back so he told the manager to sell it for whatever and keep the money.

Well, it sold (buyer paid for it). The day finally came for the buyer to take it, they were a no-show. Turns out they needed a few extra days as the guy was still in jail. He finally got out and then started living out of the RV at the storage lot. Last Sunday, once the manager finally pressed with summoning police the RV hitched to an open trailer stuffed w/ **** left the lot. They left a old jetski on the grass and a pile of trash.

Well guess what is now parked at our local Walmart for the last week and a half?

I guess that'll do it for this topic.

I'm going to have to try this criminal activity lifestyle. I've had quality, well-paying jobs my entire life and still don't seem to have any money left over for drugs and prostitution. I'm jealous...:C

Part of the problem is it's hard to tell the difference between someone who happens to be less fortunate, and someone who's gaming the system. Many people feel sorry for the former, but have little use for the latter.

I guess you can join them so you can take advantage of free parking.

Very desirable neighborhood. Upper middle class. No.. my city and county is worthless in this regard.

Grandmother/mother bought it for her daughter/grand kids. Then she passed away due to cancer. Everyone moved to up north to Atlanta. Law firm 'managing' it from California. I thought it could be part of an estate dispute, but it's been at least 8 years. Trust me.. the taxes get paid 'just in time'. Meanwhile we have to constantly complain to the city about it, and end up doing the yard maintenance ourselves because it doesn't get done otherwise.

Somehow we got totally off track WRT overnight parking. Whether or not we agree on definition of 'owning' property vice having to pay taxes doesn't really matter.

Yes, you should own your home, but the sad part is that you actually don't.

In my city they charge interest for late tax payments..it adds up quick if you wait..

Thats sad,if true,,however if your home isnt paid off by the time youre 84...you should sell it and buy some cheaper one!

One never "owns" there home whether it is paid off in full or not. Just paid my taxes this week which has increased 6x while my wages increased 3x. Many retirees are in much worse shape and with all other expenses also climbing simply can not afford the rapid increase in taxes (rent to government). If the rent isn't paid they are kicked out of the homes THEY paid for.

Until governments get their acts together this situation will only get worse. If you aren't part of the solution then YOU are part of the problem. MYOB unless you are willing to help.

My house utility bills including property tax are 350- 400$ month..
I get 1200$ month pension..
I also have enough saved to live on and travel too..btw medicare is free in my province.

My point still stands,,IF someone cant afford their house they need to buy cheaper one..even it means moving to smaller town out of the city,

Its that simple..
And I agree if its not on your property dont worry about it,only when someone does something illegal call the law..
