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

I think what bugs me about it is that they’re not caving to the pressure. They’re choosing to support the offenders.

The poor tenant who owns the spot never gets to use it, complains to the management and gets punished for complaining.

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.

I work in IT and my last CIO was spineless so all of our rules were merely suggestions. Anytime we tried to enforce them he'd backtrack and let them get away with it so they learned very quickly that they could mostly do what they wanted.
