Second, as to streets where the vehicles are parking in metered spaces, as one commenter pointed out on my earlier post, many of the people who use their vehicles for camping on the streets have handicapped tags, and Los Angeles exempts such vehicles from the time limits in such spaces. It’s a ridiculous loophole that must have been intended to give drivers with handicapped tags *more* time to get in an out of their vehicles and do their activities while parked, which is understandable, but it could not possibly have been intended for such drivers to camp in their vehicles overnight. Nevertheless, that is the effect, and therefore only an overnight restriction with no loophole, rather than a simple time limit, would prevent camping in the metered spots.

Finally, the dumping that I related was in the street, not on someone’s lawn. But your point about enforcing littering and other existing laws is well taken, and hopefully there’s one that would prohibit such dumping.

Everybody paid the taxes to build those streets. A simple time limit on all parking should be the only enforced measure. This keeps junkers from building up for years.

If people are pouring shit on the lawns, there’s already a law regarding that. It has nothing to do with small communities enacting their own personally benificial parking restrictions.

ITs getting bad in the little parks along the foothills, even in those posted “no camping”.

I think its a bad idea to allow setting up of these little hoovervilles. Walmart allows them to camp there, and even has roaming security, let them go there to keep the streets clear and parking available for the residents of the neighborhood.
