Hesla contacted the city about the issue, but said he was told there wasn’t much the city could do. The city councilwoman for the area, Amanda Sandoval, told 9NEWS Tuesday because Hesla’s neighborhood was zoned for mixed use, there was no law against commercial entities parking on the street.

“Any complaints regarding host parking and vehicle storage are taken seriously and violations may result in restricted vehicles and accounts,” a representative for the company said in a statement to 9NEWS. “When Turo’s Trust and Safety team received the complaint, the team took swift action to work with the host and local government to enforce the Good Neighbor Policy and resolve the issue.”

Love how you have to go to the private company that's abusing the commons to get them to stop their own behavior to get them to say "oh that shouldn't happen" like these corporations are the ones that get to decide if something bad is being done with public property, instead of the people who oversee the PUBLIC PROPERTY.
