Blogfinger quote of the day: Why does the CMA oppose permit parking? A look back to 2017.

January 26, 2025 by Blogfinger

HOA meeting about permit parking   11/2022.     40 people showed up plus 20 by zoom. Blogfinger photo. The parking  problem persists, and the HOA has failed to solve it.

 

By Paul Goldfinger, Editor, Blogfinger.net

 

This quote is from a Letter to the Editor,  Coaster,  on  November 22, 2017.   It is from Michael Badger, then President of the OGMA.  This is an introductory quote by Pres. Badger, not the entire letter—see post below for more details.:

“Question: When is a ‘solution’ not a solution?

“Answer:  When the solution creates more problems than existed originally. The Ocean Grove Camp Meeting Association (CMA) opposes the parking restriction program proposed for Ocean Grove.

“The CMA is against resident permits because it discourages visitors, costs residents money, creates inefficiencies, hurts businesses, and burdens law enforcement.

“The CMA vision is for Ocean Grove to be the seaside community which welcomes all generations. The proposed pilot program clashes with our welcoming vision.”
