Can we please not need to move our home (the Vulpibus) around purely because of running out of currency or being at a free parking lot for too long?

We just need somewhere STABLE to park while we get our shit together.
Somewhere it's okay to put objects outside our vehicles while we arrange and rebuild the interior.
Somewhere it's okay to do a bit of mechanical work so long as we are clean about it (not spilling oil etc).

Township bylaws and corporate policies are really fucking shit for homeless folks including those living in vehicles.

To the good people* of #ClarkdaleMeadows (in #SherwoodPark, #Alberta, in #SOVEREIGNCanada), the #election has been over for four to five days now.

PLEASE TAKE THE POLITICAL SIGNS OFF YOUR LAWNS.

There are laws against keeping signs up after elections here (or at least there used to be).

Drafting your bylaws is an incredibly daunting experience as a baby co-operative, and the folks at start.coop are trying to make that easier

_The Evening Post_, 28 November 1924:
WIDER STREETS
A HUNDRED FEET BETWEEN
BUILDINGS.
The Works Committee of the City Council last evening recommended that steps should be taken to have subsection 189 of the Municipal Corporations Act, 1920, authorising the making of #bylaws fixing the building line of narrow streets amended to give the council power to provide:—
That no building be erected within 50 feet [ca. 15m], or such less distance as the council shall prescribe, from the middle line of any street.
That no building shall be erected on one side of the street within 100 feet or such less distance as the council shall prescribe, from the other side of the street.

Black-and-white photo: Bond Street, Wellington, showing a man walking through a narrow street. ca 1880s–1920s (I suspect closer to the latter time period). Description: The doorway of a building on the left of view is angled into the corner of the narrow street; it has four steps up to it and an arched overhang. The man walking towards the camera is in the middle distance; he wears a suit, waistcoat and tie – I think he may be  carrying his jacket – and has on a “lemon squeezer” hat. The building in the background look to be concrete or brick-clad and vary from two to six storeys. Citation: The Press (Newspaper): Negatives. Ref: 1/2-041064-G.

_The Evening Post_, 30 August 1924:
        LOCAL AND GENERAL

  “It seems to me that if the #bylaws were attacked it would be found to be unreasonable,” said Mr. Wyvern Wilson in the Magistrate’s Court at #Christchurch yesterday, referring to the regulations as to leaving cars unattended. The Magistrate said that a car might be left in the charge of an incompetent person, in which case, it would be just as great an obstruction as if there was nobody in charge. He thought the regulation referred back to the old days when a person could not leave a horse vehicle unattended; that was to prevent a runaway, but there was no danger of this with a car. He thought the proper course for the police to take in future would be to proceed under the statute for leaving a vehicle in a highway without reasonable excuse, reports the “Star.” It would not be a reasonable excuse if people left their car while shopping in Cashel street for two hours, but if a person had been taken to the hospital and a relative had driven up and stayed for half an hour, the case would be different. It was a matter of reasonableness, and that was the only way to test anything.

_The Evening Post_, 4 August 1924:
PAVEMENT ARTISTS
Complaints were made to-day of the #chalking of #footpaths in various parts of the city, apparently on Saturday evening, with crude advert[i]sements of a meeting to be held on Sunday evening, and inquiries were made by a “Post” reporter as to the City Council’s interest and attitude in the matter. He was told that the council was quite interested, but that the difficulty was to discover who was responsible for the chalking. It was frequently done, but it was against the bylaws, and was accordingly punishable by fine. Likewise, the pasting of bills on other than recognised #billboards was against city rules and regulations, drawn up with the idea of keeping the town as tidy as might be.

             THE SPEED HOG
STOP-WATCH TRAPS CRITICISED
 AMERICA’S MOUNTED PATROLS [1/2]
  #Hutt road #traffic control is a lively topic of conversation among regular users of the road, among motorists generally, in fact; and there is a good deal of speculation as to what form the supervision as proposed by the #bylaws now being drafted will take. Motorists will not be satisfied… if the stop-watch and the measured distance system is to be applied.…
  In any case… speeding was not the only danger.… it was when fast and slow, right and wrong side, straight ahead and corkscrew traffic made a mixture of it that smashes occurred.
  America… had greater road control problems… than any other country, and almost invariably the practice was to mount control officers upon high-speed motorcycles.…

          NELSON NEWS
   CITY COUNCIL MEETING

  When the bylaw fixing the minimum area of building sections came up for confirmation, Councillor Moffatt said there was a strong feeling in the city that the area should be one-eighth of an acre [505 m2], and not one-tenth [405 m2]. He was of opinion that in a residential city like #Nelson a minimum of a tenth of an acre was too small. He moved an amendment that the area be one-eighth. The motion was seconded by Councillor Nightingale.
  The Mayor said he had always supported an eighth of an acre.
  Councillor Edwards could not support the amendment. The matter had been thoroughly discussed, and a tenth agreed on. The amendment, if carried, would hit the working man hard, as there were no facilities for people getting to the outskirts of the city by trams, etc., like there were in big cities.…
  The amendment was lost.…

_The Evening Post_, 27 Mar 1924:
AN INTOLERABLE NUISANCE
A deputation from the congregations of St. Peter’s and St. John’s #churches yesterday afternoon waited upon the Chief Motor Inspector, Mr. L. C. Drake, to complain of the “intolerable nuisance” caused by motor-cyclists using silencer cut-outs, who roared up Willis street while church services were being conducted. A general complaint was also made of the cut-out nuisance in the dead of night. Mr. Drake replied that there was a bylaw which expressly laid it down that all motor vehicles should be provided with a proper silencer, but that bylaw, he was afraid, was not very closely observed. He agreed that heavy penalties should be imposed on motorists who used the cut-out in the quiet of the night, and added that it was open to any person to take action against a motorist breaking the bylaw. An army of inspectors would be required to ensure that there were no breaches of the regulation, but a sharp look-out would be kept by the inspectors now available.
