Beverly Hills CA has a similar night time parking ban. However in B.H. the ban is geared to keeping overflow from the comercial areas spilling into the residential sections by keeping non-residents from parking on residential streets. Residents in those areas have special permits that allow them to park on the streets during the proscribed hours (9pm to 5am).
Perhaps that should happen in Cville as well- permits provided to residents of those areas (Garret Square, etc,.) who legitimately need additional parking. But of course make them prove residency first so the permit can be tracked back to a person and unit number.

If I park there one night after 9:00 p.m., do you think a cop might show up?
If so, perhaps they can take the felony theft report I tried to file on Saturday. After waiting 2 hours, and seeing 5 police cars and one police van leisurely pass by my office, I cancelled my request to be seen and file a criminal activity report. WTF is the problem in this department?
When the crime statistics come out for 2007, I wonder how many crimes were never reported because of strange events like this? Why did no cop ever stop and take a report? Did the dispatch center drop the ball and not even dispatch the call?

look, these "powerless" people this guy cries about are anything but "powerless" They get subsidized housing, food stamps and health care. They also get to play the race card anytime anybody expects anything civically responsible from them. The reason for the parking ban is simple there were problems that are a natural part of lower income areas. The city has an obligation to protect the older residents who are there for reasons other than sitting in the back of the class instead of taking advantage of there free education. If this means they eliminate a gathering place so be it. What they should really do is buy some farm out in the county and let the people live out there and grow there own food etc. They could then sell that property for millions and build jails to put the pieces of crap that cause all the trouble.

"there free education"
Fred neck, glad to see that you took advantage of "you're" free education. Do you actually know anyone who lives in Friendship Court? Get to know them, and you might learn that they don't all "play the race card anytime anybody expects anything civically responsible from them." Maybe they'll even invite you over for one of those $1 meals they can buy with their food stamps that make them so powerful.
