Yesterday I received a parking ticket for facing the wrong way. I was not aware this was a
violation of city code but now I am. I own that. However, this happened on the exact samenight I stood in my backyard, and watched the police respond to another disturbance call at the
urban encampment. This is, as I'm sure you'll agree, utterly outrageous.
Had I parked my car across the street in the urban encampment, I would not have gotten aticket. But parking my own car (that I pay registration on), in front of my own house (that I
pay taxes on), earned me a $53 dollar ticket. Not a warning, not three warnings, not a $25 feeevery month. Let me say that again. I received a parking ticket in front of my own house while
I watched hundreds of people commit an uncounted number of crimes and violations from mybackyard.
I have tried extremely hard to be understanding of this situation. I recognize there is no
easy/good solution. I recognize I'm fortunate to be on the side I'm on. But of all the streets inBozeman to enforce minor parking violations, did the city really believe that Lolo Way, the
houses directly across from the urban encampment was a good idea?
