One thing I find really stupid is garage sale permits. What is the point of them? Well In my opinion it is a way for the development's homeowners association, or local municipality's government to make money on areas that don't want high amounts of traffic. One thing that pisses me off about garage sales is when people don't take down their sign for their garage sale that had occurred some time ago. I love garage sales. You can find just about anything at one. But a garage sale permit may be imposed to discourage garage sales in a way also. They might discourage them with a permit, for the people who nail up signs on every telephone pole who never take them down after their garage sale is over.
While I do not agree with garage sale permits, I can see how Beverly Hills wants you to have a permit for one. In this instance, Beverly Hills is a wealthy populated area of Los Angeles California. Many celebrities live there and I am sure they don't want to see extra traffic coming to a garage sale in Beverly Hills. It would seem tacky and very distasteful for someone of that caliber to hold a garage sale in an area that has Millionaires living there.
On the other hand garage sale permits are an unnecessary way for municipalities to make money. if they want to make money they should focus on work permits for houses that are being renovated. They sell more work permits than garage sale permits.
There is a townhouse development near Hazleton Pennsylvania, called Park Crest. My mom one time picked up a brochure from them and they had several absurd rules. One of them was NO Garage Sales. That is madness compared to a garage sale permit. What if I lived there and wanted to have a garage sale? It's a god given constitutional right to have one. Well maybe not a constitutional right but you get my drift. So That is my opinion on garage sale permits and why they are stupid and don't make any sense except for Beverly Hills. So Long Live The Garage Sale
