Sidewalk Fight
Street fight: Quarreling over curbside sports escalates by the Daily News is the one article you must read today. It affects us all: past, present or future.
"No person shall play ball or any game of sport with a ball or football or throw, cast, shoot or discharge any stone, pellet, bullet, arrow or any other missile, in, over, across, along or upon any street or sidewalk or in any public park, except on those portions of said park set apart for such purposes," section 56.16 of the municipal code states.
So this afternoon, we rode our bikes to the Sherman Oaks residence to see the basketball hoop in question standing tall and proud. We were hoping to see a game in action because then, we might have joined in.
Afterwards, on our way to the Orange Line Bike Path, we came upon what is pictured above. Apparently Oren Barkan of Remax doesn't read the Daily News. But Kudos goes to Igor Linchuck of Paramount Properties for staying within the law...errr, kinda: "The other ordinance prohibits any structures from being placed on a public right of way, such as sidewalks or the grassy paths that abut curbs."

No arrows or missiles in the park? This is an outrage....who can I call to turn this ordinance around?

Real Estate signs have a special consideration if they put them up the day of the open house and remove them that same day... so says the real estate folks!

Funny, I went to CSUN with Oren. I left my own take on this story on my blog. Max

I was perfectly within all city ordinances. Real Estate brokerages are licensed with the city of Los Angeles to place open house signs.
And no I don't read the Daily News. I spend too much time on the web...

Mr. Barkan, I'd like to know what ordinance you're refering to. I can't seem to find anything in writing to support your claim of placing signs on the sidewalk.

I am not refering to any specific city ordinance. I am referring to a liscence issued by the city of Los Angeles that my office has on file.

Hey Oren, did Eric forward you this post I sent him. No way you found it on your own!! If I knew your sign was on the sidewalk, I would have ran my bike into it, claimed an injury and sued you. GB! :)
