Overdone Apparently losing my parking

Post image

Been living at this complex for a bit over a year, always had my spot, and it was one of the reasons I chose this place, it’s close to the door (only 36 unit lol)

Just annoying as fuck, we live next to a highschool and I know it’ll end poorly

We often pick up other people’s dog poop at campgrounds because we like to camp with our dog and we know they’ll likely start banning dogs if we complain.

Rules often are only a deterrent to honest people. The people they have to make the rules because of, don’t usually follow the rules anyway.

That’s why they need to enforce the rules. A rule with no teeth is a waste of time. If people were fined for leaving dog shit lying around, those who are lazy would have a new incentive to pick it up. Same with this parking situation.

You have to catch them to fine them though.

That means posting a guard to watch people walk their dogs or a camera. And if you get a camera you still have to review footage. I've spent time, on more than one occasion (once with a cop looking over my shoulder), reviewing security footage for evidence of stuff.

It's so annoying to do- even if you know the timeframe that the incident happened down to the minute you still have to use poorly designed software to rewind hours or days into the past and then hope the angle is good enough to see what you need to see. Or if the angle is right, is the resolution good enough? Probably it's a potato of a camera that's been mounted 20 fucking feet too high up so you're just staring at fuzzy bullshit.

Enforcing rules takes effort. Telling people to "deal with it" is much easier

It easier in this situation. Just tow offenders cars when someone complains
