After 36 years of parking in their driveway, couple is told it's illegal to do so?

This makes absolutely no sense to me, especially in a place with horrible parking options like San Francisco.

"They received a $1,542 fine for parking on their own property -- with the threat of a $250-per-day fee if they didn't get the car off their carpad."

"The San Francisco Planning Department is enforcing a decades-old section of code that bans motor vehicles of all kinds from being parked on a carpad or setback in front of a house unless it's accompanied by a garage or cover."

Seriously,who cares if someone parks on their own property? I hate over bearing rules like this...

WTF?! That's absolute fucking bullshit! 🤬

@AJS30 I forgot to mention the final result, the city agreed to drop the fine, as long as they stopped parking there, until it got a garage or a cover, whatever that means.

So they are supposed to park on the street instead, right?

Lunacy. 🙄

@Thinkerbell I guess? Which absolutely makes no sense as SF is infamous for not having enough street parking to start with...

Also, this started by someone calling the government on them and their neighbor, saying they're breaking the law...

Usually the neighbors don't like it if you park on the street, if you have a driveway or garage. 🙄

"Also, this started by someone calling the government on them and their neighbor, saying they're breaking the law..."

probably a neighbor with a grudge. 🙄
