20 Years Ago

20 years ago we didn't need the city walking up to a neighbor and telling him that one of his cars was parked on an unauthorized portion of HIS yard.
 
20 years ago we didn't see a car with the city logo driving through the alleys and along the streets looking for citations to write.
 
20 years ago we didn’t have an iPhone app to make it easier for the city government to report citizens.
 
20 years ago we didn't have to have the city inspect our neighbor's home to be sure he knows he is living in a safe and healthy home.
 
20 years ago we didn't have a city forcing landlords to open the home of a Residential tenant to be sure it is safe for the tenant to live in.
 
Is this what it takes to run a city now?? Is this what it takes to keep a city safe and healthy??
 
Laura Maczka says that the majority of landlords comply with ordinance 3847 and don't have a problem with the city inspecting their tenants home. Ms. Maczka, did you know that the ordinance has a threat of a $2000 dollar fine if the landlord doesn't comply with the ordinance?? Remove the bullyin' tactic of a $2000 dollar fine and let's see how many landlords register and allow the government to come into their private property.
