Just like my 88 Caprice has to pass smog on a dyno, and never was intended to (to the best of my knowledge), he's lived in his house for at least fourty years, and has to live by laws he outdates. I say bull****. City ordinances are ridiculous. Its his property, is it not? So what if it increases the value of the property if his property looks spectacular. The value of the gene pool increases if we exterminate retards, jews, and blacks, supposedly. ****ing criminal what they've done to an old man. I would understand if they were really letter of the law with everybody, but there is a house two houses down that is twice as bad looking as his. There are houses all over torrance that are far worse than his. The commisioner of building and safety (who has lied to my mother a number of times about the issue, saying one thing and the exact opposite the next day) has a personal vendetta out against my grandparents. The afforementioned sheriff had a personal vendetta against them. We have undergone a massive clean up project at their house, doing quite the major operation. We had turned everything around, after the first few tickets. Cleaned up all the old oil, moved his cars in back, planted grass in front, got rid of old junk outside, repainted their house, among a number of other things. The only thing that may scare away a prospective buyer is my grandfather or grandmother, as people don't see any old people these days. With face lifts and homes for the elderly, we have eliminated some of the most important members of society (the ones with face lifts are not important). Laws are flexible, at least in modern society (especially LA). In society we live in today, with the myraid of laws we have (far too many if you ask me, come to California if you want to experience a lot of laws), police officers selectively enforce what they need to. That is the key idea I'd like to drive home to you. Laws (although they should not be) are applied in a flexible manner as to give more power to law enforcement. As such, the minor laws need to be applied selectively, almost as a warning. In my opinion, it is not the best system, but it is the one we live in. If a man is taking his pregnant wife to the hospital and doing 85 in a 70, I'd expect the cop to get out of the guys face. My grandparents are old. We've worked hard to get their place in compliance, and now they get us on little things that both next door neighbors are out of compliance on. Simply, this is unfair and harassment. The real problem is that the laws are flawed. I can't fix that, but I can get the city out of my grandparents life. We're planning legal action, and how. We are going to ask for $25K in expenses over the whole issue (cars towed, time, money, one quarter of the hospital bills for my grandmother) which is about what has been spent (we live 100 miles away, and have to drive out there very frequently to deal with issues that arise, and then we don't even get to visit). We're also asking for a written letter of apology. |

We're also asking for a written letter of apology. Why does that not surprise me? You complain a LOT, don't you? Maybe you inherited it from your grandparents and they have complained a lot historically and people got tired of it including the law enforcement officers so they're picking on them now. It wouldn't surprise me to find out that's the case. You people that think you're immune to the law disgust me. Do the crime, pay the fine. |
