That’s mean and greedy. That (no warning $1000. ticket) will cause a lot of people to direct their anger at the cops. The police are only doing their jobs. That would produce a bad memory for some, and make them not wish to return the next year. Local Govt. simply needs better management of public funds, meaning a few salary reductions here and there.
If local govt cared about return visitors more than robbing them via “legal” laws that exist solely for govt to rob people, they would not be doing this.
Cops just doing their jobs...
The law does not remove a personal moral responsibility. Even for these much vaunted and heroic officers. Natural Law demands justice. For all of us. Frightening as that cheerful thought is. This world is corrupted and evil. That is why Jesus died on the cross. For our many sins, sins conversed and willful. But justice bloody justice inevitably occurres. History is replete with injustices inflicted to right injury. Hence good moral government averts evil and cycles of violence.
“The police are only doing their jobs.”

Sounds like it was cynically enacted by a city council that got tired of complaints. They know jolly well that it’s going to get the neighbors feuding with one another about making the area guest-hostile. They don’t want to be caught in the middle. (And anyhow, how does a body MOVE into or out of one of those places? By permit?)
Something sane would be a time limit for drop-off/pick-up activities. It would also be abusing things to sit there half an hour while suitcase after individual suitcase was carried in. Pull it all off into the yard and then go.
How else can they afford those wonderful Cop pensions given to 40 year old retirees for the next 40 years?
