Petty? I dunno, maybe people don't want:
>unleashed dogs
>public inebriation
>public brawling
>shoplifting
in their communities? This is the standard we hold ourselves to in the United States of America. Also see Singapore where you can be caned for spitting gum on the sidewalk.
I've never been tempted to do any of these things, and crazy thing, I've never gotten a ticket for any of them.
- arthulia 10y agoAh yes, how dare people walk around after 10pm.
- Nadya 10y agoWalk around at 10pm. Just don't walk in the closed park. Is it inconvenient to walk around the park? Sure it is. Should people plan for that, knowing about it? Probably. Do people do so? Usually not. Same thing with jaywalking. It isn't the same as "how dare people walk across a street". They're free to walk across the street - just do so at the cross walk. Likewise, they're free to walk around after 10pm - just not in the park.
- lsaferite 10y agoIf it's closed, maybe close a gate?
- Nadya 10y agoWasn't in the budget to build the park and likely wouldn't get approval for funding if it were. The alternative of an unfunded park is no park. The tickets from people ignoring signs is also additional revenue to the town/state so there is some financial motivation to not spend money on a gate (and staff responsible for locking/opening the gate).
