I've lived in lower income areas were code enforcement of things like that was common.
Regardless I think the gp makes valid point against the ggp. It's definitely not "unenforceable".
- bluGill 7y agoAll cities in the US are wealthy. Same applies to Canada, Germany, Spain... Sure there are poorer people, but on the global scale the poor in Spain are still rich. (this isn't to imply the poor have it easy)
- learc83 7y agoThe article is completely focused on the US. In that context I assumed the person I was replying to was talking about relatively rich or poor US cities.
- bluGill 7y agoright, my point is that poor us cities will still act like the rich cities because they are not really poor.
- dsfyu404ed 7y agoPoor and broke are two different things. When people say "poor cities" they mean "broke" because while the cities may not be poor by global standards they're broke because they don't have enough $$ to pay for what they're supposed to pay for.
- bluGill 7y agoTrue, but the point is still all cities in the US have plenty of resources to enforce whatever arbitrary thing they want to. (note that the courts might strike down some for constitutional reasons). That they don't have the resources to do all isn't anything new, even the richest person in the world cannot afford to do everything.
- amanaplanacanal 7y agoYou are mistaking the inhabitants for the city balance sheet. The inhabitants might be rich, but that doesn't mean the city government has the resources.
