The parking issue related to our building...

Tweet

Legally, nobody should "own" parking areas in the building. They belong to the society and society is obliged to ensure everybody has parking area for their vehicles, as well as guests. Sounds good on paper. But it does not get implemented. Builder sells the parking area. In our building, there is a flat that does not have any parking. So he did not pay for it. Now, he refused to pay maintenance. This made the society people offer him area outside the complex. That has disturbed my right to passage. While I can pull out the car, the problem is two cars are placed adjacently, on to the main road. We do not have wide roads. We also have dogs, cows, etc., licensed to move around with immunity. The lane is fed by 4 incoming roads to right, and one incoming road towards the left. 2 of these incoming roads to the right are at a distance of 30 feet and 100 feet. The incoming road towards the left is about at a distance of 200 feet. In addition to these there are two gates opening and there is gate of the opposite building all feeding the same lane. The adjacent building also has its gate opening at about 40 feet. The road also has a school where children as young as 4 are students. They tend to walk carelessly on the road. You bet, I am terrified of pulling out my vehicle. Any accident means a child is gonna be maimed or dead. I cannot afford to hit the cow too, and stray dogs.....nothing seems right. So I did walk up to a guy who is not in the committee but was instrumental in arranging that parking in pavement. He played a lawyer with me. That is public place, we have no control on it. Right. No...wrong. My right to safe passage is disturbed. The flat owner left for his home town. I approached the society, volunteered to pay for restoring the earlier position such that my visibility is not hurt...in 60 feet road, you take off 20 feet this side and 10 feet that side, you are left with just 30 feet to share with kids, other travelers, cows, dogs....pedestrians. All pretty much doing the thing of their own. So his wife says we will install mirrors to improve your visibility. That lady never drove in her life. The president of the committee never drove in her life. They get to decide the fate of people who drive. The next meeting, I am going to record the proceedings. I need to be legally safe, if morally I carry the guilty of hurting another woman's child. Impossible situations.
