I would have liked to find out why this ordinance exists. It makes no sense to me.

[–] Boinkage@lemmy.world 51 points 6 months ago (1 children)

Retired neighbors with nothing better to do.

The neighbors complained because they have nothing better to do, but why was the ordinance created in the first place?

[–] AmosBurton_ThatGuy@lemmy.ca 31 points 6 months ago

Because the neighbours with nothing better to do vote in every single election and are therefore more important to not piss off. Fuck NIMBYs.

So the neighborhood doesn't look like a getto full of people too poor to keep their boats in the marina like decent fokes.

Theres a newish neighbourhood near me with a high percentage of reasonably cashed up retired people... nice houses with 2 car garages on small blocks. Every other house has a caravan or a boat and they almost all park them on the street.

Some of the streets have been effectively reduced to one lane in both directions, sure its legal but its a giant pain in the balls to get around.

Probably local storage company owner lobbying. Ick.

"To keep crime down" or something

I mean, if you can afford a boat you can also probably afford a lot of other nice things.

Unless you spent all your money on the boat, and thus can't afford things like storage for said boat...
