Actually, I specifically picked a parking space for the example due to a Utah case where a city decided that people could no longer park in front of their homes, since the city wanted to use fatter snow plows on the street, and it couldn't fit between two rows of parked cars on either side. The city (Ogden) lost, as they had not enforced their law for many years, and selective enforcement is unconstitutional; then they lost again, after universally enforcing the time based limit, when the same guy claimed a prescriptive lien on the parking space. As far as I know, it's still his parking space (he was my neighbor, on the corner of 24th and Van Buren St., and I was very happy he won, since I had to park several blocks away for a month in the dead of winter). -- Terry To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-chat" in the body of the message
