In a May of 2007 we posted a story titled The Mobile Homeless Problem. In it we said:
We believe it’s time for a “No Vehicles Over Seven Feet Tall” ordinance. Our free sea wall parking is not a campground.
Now it looks like some action is about to be taken. At it’s meeting tomorrow night (March 8, 2011) the Carlsbad City Council will consider a proposal to prohibit motorhome and other large vehicles from parking on west side of “Carlsbad Boulevard from Redwood Avenue to Cherry Avenue,” according to a story in the North County Times.
The proposed ban would be in place from Memorial Day to Labor Day. . . . Carlsbad’s proposed ordinance would prohibit vehicles that are more than 22 feet long, 7 feet high or 7 feet wide from parking on the west side of Carlsbad Boulevard.
Not only will this allow for more parking, it will also create better views for people who live on Carlsbad Boulevard (and those just driving by). We only wish the ban could be on year around.

Hurray!! About time, and I agree, the ban should be year round.
This is great but the area from South side of Tamarack to the power plant will be even worse now.
