"Okay", now you're reason I accept, because I admire your honesty! If more people would just admit that, instead of coming up with these BS arguments, it would make a lot more sense.
Agreed, he's just up front and honest. People who makes these wild myths to scare people are the annoying ones, not the honest ones like "okay."

Talk about a masochist. Guy didn’t even have the guts to make his case. Just let everyone else crap all over it and get unanimously voted down. Overwhelming opposition.
With all in favor on here gotta wonder if he’s just posting over and over again.
Re: Announcement: meeting on overnight parking ban scheduled
Well that's that. Now I have a question - in what alternate universe does an advisory board or commission have the authority or responsibility to set or change policy?
Re: Announcement: meeting on overnight parking ban scheduled
As it turned out, the Commission had no balls. Lousy decision, but that's the way It goes in Melrose. We just accept things and move on, saying whatareyagonnado. Hopefully the election will change that a bit!
Re: Announcement: meeting on overnight parking ban scheduled
That's your opinion. You don't like it because they didn't do what you wanted. I, on the other hand, as well as the vast majority of those in attendance, think they arrived at the correct decision.
Re: Announcement: meeting on overnight parking ban scheduled
Can't imagine any of the candidates for office next month would publicly embrace a repeal of the parking ban. Repeal won't address the real issues for most Melrosians, who would likely be up in arms if it were repealed. Tackling the issues with the parking ban is not a binary choice matter.
Re: Announcement: meeting on overnight parking ban scheduled
“Okay”, of course that’s why I don’t like it, DUH! And of course anything other than stating facts is simply my opinion, which I am entitled to have.
As far as getting over it, it’s ancient history to me, and won’t affect my life one iota, until we discuss it again, or not, the next time.
Re: Announcement: meeting on overnight parking ban scheduled
This is how Smellrose makes it's $$$$. Parking tickets and not all downtown is the same amount of time. One part is 2 hour and the other side is 30 mins...watch the signs. I have 3 cars and this $ucks thanks to the realtors for not telling us this information.
Re: Announcement: meeting on overnight parking ban scheduled
That's been that way for years. It was a deliberate decision to allocate part of the parking for short-term use (to encourage more turnover), and others to longer-term use. No surprises except to anyone who never bothered to check the signs that have been there for years.
