what exactly does "no parking" mean? Is there a reason that sign exists? Maybe a safety issue? Or should the sign say : "no parking unless issuing tickets". Lets not be dumb here, honest question

Any downvotes, I'm good with. just clarify things. let stupid be known.

THERE IS NO PEPE SILVIA

and when was the last time you had a meat donut?

I appreciate the few that helped with feedback. This post wasn't supposed to bring out trolls but living in Henrico/ working in RVA was in no way the same. "Hurr Durr" parking is just.... dumb?. The people living and working around VCU are, and have been, experiencing fines they can't object to. That's my point. My only observation.

I'll leave it there. Again, thanks to those that were aware enough to know I wasn't just ranting for my own benefit, but trying to look out for others, in replies.

I wish I had this kind of free time.

We do have a nice skyline

Were they working? Like this just seems silly to me.

So they were working. You made it sound like they were going out to eat or something.

Where could this person park while issuing the tickets?

That's not correct. RAA has exclusive rights to all stretcher transports from inside the city to anywhere local unless the journey is to return someone to outside the city within a day of their arrival

sorry. I was hoping to be clear in my initial post that I'm not overly angry about this. I was looking for feedback, and I believe I have it. I felt there was an issue for those who lived (not just worked) in the VCU area with the time restrictions on parking. Whether that be "free" open access or paid "overnight" access being ticketed by people that abuse those same rights for profit. I realize I've been wrong in many eyes and it's not an issue. I apologize

I don't care about "someone" parking illegally. I care about the people writing tickets to us that live here WHILE parking illegally.

Would it be an issue having a fire truck park (unattended) in front of a fire hydrant? I mean, can every point be argued? Sure. Are you really gonna be on the side that says, "but who cares" vs "yea, this shouldn't be happening"

As an agent, I can confirm from a cost perspective. Plenty of exceptions like most good HVAC companies advertise. Generally those type of plumbing and electrical companies are not ripping people off ,rather, they are just repairing more than what is needed. Examples: Michael and Sons & JES are notorious for this. Generally most of these companies are honest just expensive.

I know only 2 large HVAC in this area who have good reviews but are actually very sketchy. Reviews are a poor way to measure these companies honesty or workmanship.

For example, ones with good reviews are often when are made people to feel special. They might fix something for 1/2 the cost of another company and the person thinks they were just being nice.

What that reviewer does not realize, is they probably did not repair what they said. Or they might have charged the manufacturer the cost for parts and not tell the client.

I won’t say the bad ones but I will confirm the good ones.

parking in a "no parking" zone to take advantage of the parking / issue tickets for other "no parking" offenders

Charles Entertainment Cheeses pizza FUCKS

You could always run for city council on a platform of parking justice and reform.

I appreciate the honest feedback. I'm admittedly angry for students and having experienced it myself (no parking zone changes). I did contact the worker's employer, who was very helpful/responsive to my concern. I wasn't attempting any all-out call to action but did think (after living in RVA 18+ years) the ticketing systems was bias. I felt I saw an obvious flaw in the "system" but it looks like i've heard otherwise.

Alternatives?

1. Get over it, move on with your day
2. Worry about your own shit not anyone else's
3. Continue to yell pointlessly at the sky
4. Take a shit in a bag, put it in the oven on low for about 30 minutes and then throw it away in your own garbage can since smelling your own farts seems to be insufficient for you.
5. Lol Good luck.

Had this issue and used Connect Electric. I was very satisfied.

Henrico isn’t some radically different foreign country with a wildly different culture. Tens of thousands of Henrico residents spend more time actually in Richmond due to work. They have the same rights here you do. Take the time to not be a prick next time.

By law, only if pt is going from city to county or county to city can someone other then RAA transport. So HCA sending pt from city to Forest or Parham could be done by any service.

What on earth is your problem? If someone parking illegally makes you this angry, I would highly recommend you have a real honest conversation with yourself about your anger.

Right! It’s not even that bad to park in the city.

For all the shit people give (myself included!) Richmond's driving scene or should I say culture, I have to say it's AMAZING to have free parking in so many places, and in some places ALL DAY. Being from Miami, good luck finding parking anywhere near a restaurant or bar that doesn't cost about $3/hr, and even if you're willing to bite that bullet, you might have to do a few laps around the spot and still parallel park between some asshole's Lamborghini and another's neon-lit Slingshot.

Yo. Take a chill pill and go on with your day.

we live in a closely related area and you wanna piss on those that are advocating for better conditions? More free parking according to emotes and votes from outlying areas?. Seriously what is your thought process. Honestly IDGAF if you get towed, ticked, wrecked, robbed, jumped... from people parking too close. I DESIRE that none of that happens to good people that like to come here. I want coming to RVA to be a good experience for everyone. If that's not your perspective, FU
