What is wrong with everyone? Listen, We pay our City Workers and Inspectors a Lot of Money to go out and inspect these businesses, their main function is to write citations for Building Code Violations and Fire Code Violations, all of which Brings in Big Money annually to the City via Civil Fines.
Why in the hell would we ever waste our time inspecting a building full of Losers,Hippies, and Drug Addicts that have NO MONEY to pay these fines??
It just isn’t cost effective to waste valuable resources on scofflaws with NO MONEY.
In a case like this, where the city isn’t poor, maybe the fines could be skipped or reduced, just CLEAN UP SUCH PLACES (where possible). Put charity organizations or churches on such cases to see what good can be done. At the worst the occupants can be evicted.
Sounds like that affair wouldn’t be viable anyhow, if electricity had to be stolen.
