Occasionally, inconsiderate people park their cars in front of others’ homes. In some areas there are just not a few cars parked with abandon in mind, but at least each block has several. This is the situation in Triangle. (Fear this situation is rampant in Venice.)

The Triangle has commercial establishments who need residential street parking to exist because they do not have sufficient parking. Triangle also has commercial establishments who have parking, but to make more money, rent their parking spaces out, thus more parking on residential streets. Triangle has commercial establishments approved for certain uses, and they– without regard for a neighborhood– change the use to something else without City approval.

Triangle also has high-rise residential property, sometimes referred to as commercial. They use the Triangle for convenience, drop-off for airport, storage, etc. One of the apartment complexes now charges for visitor parking or charges for any parking spaces beyond what they have deemed proper per apartment.

Absolutely Frustrating
One waits 72 hours, calls and nothing happens. Ross Ferster, who has a house in Triangle, said he has had two cars parked in front of his house. He has called several times and nothing has happened.

Ferster emailed that according to this guy he talked with on phone at 1-800-abandon “they have 2-6 weeks to come to just mark the car? It’s really getting frustrating as all the restaurants and offices started parking on our street too.

“Are they waiting for some violence to finally do something? One neighbor had a big argument with a girl who parked on our street for 9 hours and another owner had some argument. The will create some violence for sure sooner or later.”
