New Dallas parking regulations take ticketees by surprise

Chris Kidd, says:

I see Avi was happer than a pig in its own waste, but then again it doesnt take that much for someone like him. I'll be honest, I dont like people like Avi, he's anti-business and even his own neighbors dislike his actions. Why noone in belmont has the courage to step up to him is beyond me. Maybe its time it happends...

Avi Adelman, says:

How come when Lower Greenville residents do something - anything - to protect their property rights and values, like RPO, someone claims we are anti-business.

Hey, fool, do you live down here, do you own a house down here?

If you answered NO to either question, then sit down and roll the chair away from the computer table. No one cares what you think when it comes to our property rights.

If you answered yes, then don't sign the RPO petition when it comes to your door, and try to convince your neighbors that drunks are more fun than quiet and clean streets. I'd love to see how far that argument goes.

The last time I looked, our residential streets were not put on this earth nearly 100 years ago for the benefit of anyone else but the residents.

Not the bars.

Not the drunks.

Just the residents.

We own the houses and we now control the streets. And you are all in a tizzy cuz you have to walk (stagger?) a little further to avoid paying outrageous parking fees.

Too frigging bad.

If the bars do not have enough parking for their patrons, they either need to find some more within 900 feet (per City Code) or close their doors and move to Middle Greenville.

As to 'standing up to me,' the last time I looked, which was a few hours ago, more than 70% of the residents or property owners on the RPO'd streets stepped up and signed the RPO petitions.

No one twisted their hands, held a gun to their head or threatened them.

All they had to do was look outside their door on a Saturday evening and make a simple choice...

Peace and quiet or drunken idiots

Thankfully, peace and quiet won the day.

And by the way, we just filed TWO more RPO petitions this weekend.

I figure by St. Patricks Day 2008 you are gonna be walking a whole lot further to the bars than you do now.

Enjoy the exercise.

Chris Kidd, says:

Im not saying by enacting RPOs that the neighborhood is anti business, in fact im a huge supporter of RPOs as a whole, as I live in Ellum. I'm saying YOU, thats yourself avi, by your own actions appear this way. Taking pictures of people relieving themselves, calling people who put money into your neighborhood drunks and complaing to the cops every weekend about something or other minor occuring that you dont like is what I take issue with. My advice: Be the bigger man and handle this lowkey. When you behave like a braying ass in the press, people will assume you actually are.

Robert Kelly, says:

Wow. I get to agree with Chris twice today. This time about the braying ass comment. I live in this neighborhood, and can walk or bike most places on lower greenville, so this has no real effect on me. If all these "problems" are the huge issues Avi makes it on a regular basis, there is always THE SUBURBS!! Quit trying to make the city the burbs, and we are all good.
