David Matthews' Gambling in Space LVA BLOG - 22 JAN 2009 (XVP)

The signs are suggestions at best. I've seen all sorts of vehicles parked in
those spaces, and I've never seen any kind of enforcement--no tickets, no
towing, not even an official "warning" left on a vehicle. And who decides what
a "fuel efficient" vehicle is, anyway? Certainly a Toyota Prius or a Smart
Fortwo, certainly not a Bugatti Veyron or a Ford Excursion, but there are lots
of vehicles in-between!

If some high roller parked his E63 AMG in one of those spaces, and they
towed it away, do you think there's a chance he might play somewhere else after
that? I do, so I would not expect the signs to be seriously enforced. Maybe a
friendly warning put on the windshield, nothing more.

that a picture taken in the Palazzo parking lot is funny.
It's not, really, if you've been there and understand what
you are looking at

The picture shows an SUV parked next to an empty
parking space that has a sign stating it is designated for
"low emission or fuel efficient" vehicles. I guess David is
assuming that the SUV is also parked in a similarly
reserved space. (I tried, but I can't think of any other
reason he would find the photo humorous.)

In reality, the space with the sign overhead (designated
for fuel efficient vehicles) is in one row of spaces and the
space occupying the SUV is in a completely different row.
The two rows are back-to-back (or, front-to-front, depending
on how you look at it).

The signs are suggestions at best. I've seen all sorts of vehicles

parked in

those spaces, and I've never seen any kind of enforcement--no

tickets, no

towing, not even an official "warning" left on a vehicle. And who

decides what

I've actually had a boot placed on my car, and I wasn't parked in any
of their restricted spots (handicapped, car pool, fuel
efficient,etc...) I had been staying there for a couple weeks and
hadn't moved the car. The only reason I knew there was a boot on my
car is that some friends came by to visit, and they noticed it. Good
thing too since my car would have been towed after 72 hours with the
boot.

When I spoke to parking security to have the boot removed, they were
pretty adamant in believing that I worked at Lavo and shouldn't be
leaving my car for so long. After this incident, I went out to the
car once to find a violation notice once again stating that I was a
team member. I have since called them and told them to place some
sort of note in their database that my plates do not belong to a team
member. We'll see if that is the end of the headache...
