Talk about government overreach! This is insane, stupid, and evil!


Georgia bureaucrats require resident permits for parking in private driveways
by Sam Rolley

Too many cars parked in your driveway? There’s a bureaucratic headache for that.

A family in Cobb County, Georgia, was recently notified that they need to obtain a permit in order to allow their college-age children to park in their private driveway over the summer.

Bureaucrats with the Kennesaw code enforcement agency recently visited the Oviedo family to inform them allowing their two children to park each of their cars, in addition to two other family cars, violates a “conservation”-focused zoning law that permits residents in the area to have no more than two cars in residential drives.

“I am angry. I am beyond angry. I don’t see how the government can tell me whose cars I can park in my own driveway,” Kim Oviedo told the local WSB-TV.

The family could remedy the problem, according to county officials, by purchasing a $150 permit to allow them to keep the additional vehicle parked in their driveway.

In order to get the permit, however, the family would need to shell out an additional $1,500 to $2,000 to have surveying done to fulfill paperwork requirements.

“I’m having to pay to park on a property that I already pay tax on,” Oviedo told reporters.

After a story about the outrageous situation aired on local news, the county’s benevolent bureaucrats “decided to let the issue slide this summer, but put the family on notice next summer would require a permit to park four cars in the driveway,” WSB-TV reported.

Welcome to ever increasing size and scope of government.

What about all those rich people who own, like, a million cars? I bet no one cares how many cars THEY have.

The rich interpose a locked gate and fencing between themselves and the self important bureaucrats trying to get into everyone else's business.

Let me guess; the Mayors son-in-law happens to own a company that can do the surveys. Yep, seen this dog and pony show before.

Here's some more goofiness: Our State and local police have been begging people for years, not to leave guns in their cars - so our Legislature has made a law allowing State employees to keep their guns in their cars while they're at work. Now, every criminal within our viewing area - knows exactly where to go to arm up. Next, I assume ( after 50 - 60 guns are stolen ) we will be paying for armed security to patrol the parking lots, to protect the guns the i***ts should have just left locked up at home. I couldn't find a single incident of a State employee being robbed, raped, or carjacked on their way to or from work, in the last 5 years.

Its way easier to fix a problem that doesn't exist.

Anybody who has time enough to think up these ridiculous rules has to much time on their hands. These guys need to get a job.

Unfortunately, this is just more loonieness coming from the lefty's. Even here in Colorado the loons in the State Legislature are attempting to advance a bill regulating the age of a person to own a smart phone. They want to outlaw anyone under the age of 13 from owning a smart phone. Absurd? U betcha, and I find it remarkable these clowns have time on their hands to advocate taking away parental responsibilities. But this is what dimocrats do in bloated government.

Surely it would be better to regulate people obtaining smart-phones by IQ level. It would cut down on the incidences of distracted driving, if, say, anybody with an IQ of less than 120 was forbidden ownership. But, there again.... control, control, control.

Just heard an argument on Fox News between a Republican and Democratic strategist concerning Nancy Pelosi. The Democrat was of course "giddy" because under Pelosi's leadership the House passed hundreds of bills and the GOP is not on that pace. Why is passing bill after bill considered a good thing in congress? We have to many laws and regulations. If D.C. would get back to doing their job they would find they don't need near the staff, perks, and departments that they have sold the sheeple on.

Big Bass

That is all they have! Drowning men clutching at straws.

Unfortunately these politicians love to pass laws for the sake of passing laws and Democrats love it. The more laws the less individual freedoms and the more government control.

Big Bass

There is no cure or legislation for stupid.

Amen! The dimicrat party is made up of the needy, non-producing, welfare mentality that feels big government should be the sole provider for their substance and well being. Personal responsibility is not in their lexicon.
