Otay Ranch reader wants the RVs in Escondido ticketed
No more New Zealand stories in Tin Fork column, please
RV camper on Dog Beach shown on KPBS
More parking tickets, please
The eyesore, oversized RVs should not be allowed to park on any public, business or residential, street (“Escondido drafts rules for RV camping”, Neighborhood News, August 15, 2024).
In Chula Vista, there are RV lots, long and short term, charging a range of rates depending on the amenities, location, etc. An RV, or even a trailer, is not permitted on a public street without a visible, current permit that is good for 24 hours only. A parking violation is a parking violation.
I have had a few parking tickets over the years, and I never got out of a single one of them, not even a reduced fee. The cities all need to get strict with enforcement. There should be an officer or senior volunteer assigned to parking enforcement alone, and it should not be “complaint driven.” If a violation is spotted, as it would be if there were designated officers to issue these citations, a ticket should be written. No warnings.
Whenever I got a ticket, be it for an expired parking meter, or whatever, it was never a warning. It was an expensive ticket, which I paid.
There’s no excuses for this kind of bum living. Imagine if all the RV owners paying for spaces in various lots decided to save their rent money and started parking on the streets. To not ticket the offenders is a slap in the face to those who are following the rules and paying their rent or fees. Just like I have to pay rent to live in my house. If we decide it’s too much at some point, we can head to other, more affordable states.

Keep it local, Bedford
Tin Fork Ed, explain to me why anyone in San Diego County would be interested in your reviews of restaurants in New Zealand (“Copacetic confusion”, Tin Fork, August 1, 2024). I certainly would not hop on a plane or a slow boat to cross the international dateline and go way below the equator to check out those places. San Diego has plenty of great places to enjoy a meal and help those places thrive. The locals would appreciate your efforts if you keep it local.

Point taken, Mr. Lopez. Part of Tin Fork’s charm has always been Mr. Bedford himself, wherever he may be. That said, he will be getting back to local joints going forward. —Ed.
