| It's appropriate that the Oakland City Council spends one of its last few meetings of 2007 debating another meaningless, unworkable yawner of a proposal that does nothing to assuage concerns about public safety or any of the city's other serious issues. Nonetheless, if the council approves the proposal to ban the parking of recreational vehicles on city streets, it will make some residents' lives a little tougher. City Councilwoman Desley Brooks' proposal is presented as a public safety measure. The staff report supporting the proposal calls the visual obstruction caused by RVs a serious hazard to motorists, pedestrians and children.... |
