It was an orgy of violations in our little 'hood yesterday. Some bozo came through yesterday ticketing people for everything they could.
A wonderful thing with many folk around here on the brink of bankruptcy.
First off it was parking. We now exceed downtown in parking costs- thanks to STUPID-ASSED tickets!
My brother and a neighbor parks their car slightly off our busy residential street- to be specific- they put the car's wheels on the grassy area between the street & sidewalk to better facilitate traffic movement and avoid getting their cars dinged.
Call the cops after someone runs into your car- "make a walk-in report."
Ticket another neighbor for having his car in the grassy area next to his driveway. Unreal.
We have MOUNDS of trash in front of weed-overgrown houses throughout the 'hood.
There weren't ANY tickets around those places.
Little police protection- it takes them more than 15 minutes often to respond to what one would think are priority calls- like disturbances or speeders THROUGH the 'hood.
So they ticket bullshit.
After this little bit of civic coffer building at the expense of already overextended citizens- we're seriously looking into selling and moving OUT of KC-MO now.
This was the last straw- we've had it with KC-MO..
Until we do- we're going to oppose EVERY tax increase these elected bozos put in front of us. Not JUST oppose them- but start putting large signs of opposition on our property.
Shame- shame- SHAME on the city for adding stupid extra expense to people already overextended!!!
And when my brother has to go pay his ticket- I'll drop him off downtown and pick him up. Screw your outrageous parking fees you bozos!!!
