Re: Women Sued by city for her car tires on her lawn
I used to live in Plano TX. They have enforcement of rules like that there. No parking on grass anywhere, period. No vehicles up on stands or blocks, and no expired or missing license plates or unregistered vehicles allowed anywhere except in a garage with the garage door closed. No pickup trucks with more than 6 lug wheels parked on residential streets in front of your house. (That means no 3/4 or 1 ton trucks.) I needed some extra parking area at my house for my truck, so I just bought a bunch of used brick-size pavers and put them on the lawn and made myself a really nice driveway. I was legal. You guys would have been miserable there, but I liked it just fine, I just followed the rules.
A friend of mine went to a crowded festival one time with some other friends, and there were no spots left except handicap. His friend parked in handicap, and he parked on grass. When the festival was winding down and they got back to their cars, they both had tickets. $250 for parking in handicap, and $450 for parking on grass.
