Downtown - Whats the deal with the closing Brunswick @ 7th?

I get that there is a school there, but none of the other schools are closing off streets. Is this supported by the city? If so why don't they have a sign that may be able to let you know when they were going to close it. Right now their method seems kinda home made.

Saw the kitty litter still in the street this morning from the clean up. must have been quite impact. I agree that 10th and Erie is very dangerous. I have almost gotten hit a few times. It's usually a case of I cant see over all the giant SUV's with tinted windows, and I have to hope there isn't someone coming at close to 40+ mph.

I wish you all luck. But until Indio's Place is closed down that block will still be a mess. A beautiful Park with a bunch of cretins lurking across the street. Ugh.

As someone who lives within sight if Indios I am intimately familiar with all the goings on (even had my car hit by one of them leaving drunk as a skunk). What can we the residents do to get them out of here? Calling the cops every time something happens just isn't practical. Plus the cops rarely do anything. Can they be closed down for code violations, or something similar to that? I would love nothing more then to have that park open, and Indios, and the Latin Lounge closed forever.

More police activity on Colgate this afternoon

#585

Home away from home

across the street from 82 colgate there were a few cruisers and a meter maid responding to a fight. Don't know what started it, but when one guy grabbed a bat, the other grabbed a a awesome miniature bat. Don't think anyone got hit, but the cops took the guy with the real bat down to the pokey.

Downtown is becoming quite the hotbed of crime lately, eh?

No, actually the problem is a-holes thinking that their car is so precious that they can take as many spots as they want and FU too bad. That's where the real selfishness lies.

I'm going to say there is a lot of both going on these days.

I agree with Vigilante, when it comes to the A-holes who think their car is worth so much that they need to take up 2 or 3 spaces. If I were driving a car that I was worried abou that much, I would never park it on the street. In parking lots I would be that guy you see parked at the far corner of the lot.

I also agree with Glitter Queen, in that there is not enough personal responsibility. If you have the room to park, there is no reason why you should bump someone. If it is a little tight, ok maybe you might tap someone once or twice, fine but do it slowly.

But if they are an A-hole and if you really want to teach them a lesson, remove their rear license plate then put the screws right under their tires.

The person who was hit would contact the police and their insurance insurance would go after your insurance. I had someone do minor damage to my car in the city and it cost $750 because they repaint the whole bumper.

If you think it is okay to bump someone's car b/c you do not know how to park you are a douche.

Ha Ha!! Like I said Good Luck!!

Now your just being ignorant. If you really think that if someone were to see you physically damage their property, you would have an easy time dealing with their insurance company? That person as well as the insurance co. lawyers have every incentive to go after you for the money.

It may seem like it is no big deal to you, but it is easy to see why some one would get so pissed off, when some thoughtless driver, who is too lazy to either find a spot they can fit in, or learn to park bumps your nice new car that you worked so hard for. Then you end up having to pay an insurance deductible, in some cases can be pretty high.

Would you buy a $30,000 home theater system and leave it on the street? Probably not. Too many people buy fancy, expensive cars and forget to account for the fact that said car is gonna be exposed to the whims of thousands of people. Unless you have a private garage or a force-field around your car it's gonna get dinged, bumped and scratched. Most of the damage on my car was caused by garbage-men dragging cans and bags over the hood and trunk of my car. And if you hog parking spaces you are just asking for it! The auto industry needs to design a more effective and practical "city bumper".

We used to have "city bumpers" they were steel, and they were awesome. I guess I could see your point if someone was getting pissy that they parked their 7 series/ s class on the street and it got dinged, but I bought a very affordable Fit. It is small and I park it well, never taking up "too much room". My point is, when people use the the excuse, "well it the city, it's a tight spot, I'll just bump them." instead of learning to park w/o bumping is what gets to me.

By your logic by the fact that the front of my house is outside, someone wouldn't have to pay to repair damages, made by them to my house. I know when I was a kid if I broke a neighbors window I had to pay for it .

Has nothing to do with court. File an insurance claim. Done it before, with success. You would be surprised how much it costs to have even a small ding repaired correctly on a painted bumper.

I'm not so naive to think I'm not going to get bumped and dinged. The belief that it is ok, or should be accepted is what gets to me.

I can't get over how people can live in the city, park on the street, and still be precious about their bumpers. In tight city parking people are to be expected to park by braille. I've noticed that the JC metered spots have shrunk to just the length of a medium size car, requiring some tight maneuvering.

As to the OP's driveway concern, is your driveway marked out on the street? If it actually a legal curb cut you can get the city to do it for a nominal fee, less than $50.

You sir are out of your mind. To think that people are expected to park by braille is just wrong. How did become acceptable to damage another person property, because you don't know how to drive/ park? I drove a full size sedan (Audi A6) for a few years and was always able to park it on the street and not hit people in the process. When I have caught people using the Helen Keller method of parking, I either take down the offenders info and put a not on the car they hit, or if it was my car, get their all their info and then file a claim to have the damage repaired. So the person who was to lazy to learn to park in the first place, now has a nice $500-$1000 bill to pay.

Re: Blocking driveways..

If you block your own driveway, there is no way for a cop/ parking nazi to know that it is your car at your house. So you will be taking a risk by doing that. But that would also require JC to ticket people in a predicable manner. If no one complains you should be ok. I had a neighbor who has blocked his own driveway for years with no problem.

As far as your bumper getting scratched, your options are going to b limited. I recommend buying a bumped badger, or similar bumper guard. It's the best thing for cars in tight parking spots. There isn't really any action you can take against the person who is hitting your car unless you see them do it.

jclxz,

fyi...cc transactions are just as fast as cash, sometimes faster.

my wife is especially fond of dates we go on and she is used to very nice things and excellent food, so no worries there.

she especially likes the fact that our most recent international flights (switzerland, czech republic, london, paris..since late '08) and flights to San fran less than a month ago were paid with points and our upcoming trip to the african continent was also purchased with points. in fact, points covers most of our flights.

2009 new car purchase: cash, but only because the amount was above the maximum the dealer would accept on a cc.

if a merchant has decided that they will take my cc for a $.25 or $$50K purchase, why shouldn't i use my card? I am not forcing them to take my credit card and gladly pay cash for whatever i need when cc are not accepted, like at several byob's in nyc metro.

paying attention to not only my revenues but also to my expenditures has served me well.

last..no need for personal attacks. just address the merits of the argument.

Pennies add up.

+5 for rational thought.

I get that stores have to pay a fee for each cc transaction, but that is a small price to pay, I think, to have the convenience for your customers. One thing I can't stand though is when merchants try to say there is a minimum on cc purchases. It's clearly stated in the contract the merchant signed with the cc co., that they can not have a minimum charge for cc's. I make it a point to try and inform Visa/ MC/ Discover/ AMEX when I see this practice happening. I know the cc co. is always thankful when I let them know.

Also I don't get what people are complaining about, especially the city councel member in that video above. It's not like people are banned from leaving their house, just loitering and gathering after midnight. What are you doing just hanging out on the street after midnight? If you don't like it move.
