San Francisco Officials Slap Couple With a $1,500 Warning for Parking on Their Own Property

As if parking in San Francisco wasn’t already difficult, the city’s planning commission took it a step further after threatening a couple with a $1,500 fine for parking their vehicle in their own driveway.

Ed and Judy Craine, a San Francisco couple who have parked car after car in their driveway for nearly 40 years, received a $1,542 warning from city officials stating parking a car in their driveway violated a code section that banned vehicles from parking in the setback in front of houses — regardless if it doesn’t block a sidewalk, ABC7 reported. To make matters worse, the city would add $250 per day if the car wasn’t removed from the driveway that “as far they could tell” was used as a place to park vehicles since the house was built in 1910.

“To all of a sudden to be told you can’t use something that we could use for years,” Ed told ABC7. “It’s, it’s startling. Inexplicable.”

“It was very surprising, to say the least,” Judy said. “I wrote them back saying I thought this was a mistake.”

But the city said otherwise and gave them a chance to prove that past residents have historically used the space a lot. If successfully, they might get a waiver. (Read more from “San Francisco Officials Slap Couple With a $1,500 Warning for Parking on Their Own Property” HERE)
