 When I asked if making a mess in front of your neighbor’s house is a code violation. I was told that mess Big Jack Ass made in front of my house would be MY CODE VIOLATION, THANK YOU… BIG JACK ASS, you RATTY MESS MAKER!

I called Code Enforcement last week to make my complaint about the mess Big Jack Ass made in front of my house (see… Rat Droppings) .

David Manley called me back after the second call to him, so it took 4 calls and 1 week to get to make my complaint, and we had a very contentious conversation. I respectfully told Mr. Manley my problem, waiting to hear his solution. He, right off, told me that they would not be spending any more resources on our problems unless they were LIFE OR DEATH situations.Excuse me, I mistakenly thought that Code Enforcement… Enforced Codes! I got set straight by David Manley, head of Code Enforcement; they only handle LIFE OR DEATH situations, at least for us, he made that VERY CLEAR! So again, I have a problem and I’m disregarded, as if I’m the problem. I asked “if you can’t handle my problem, who do I go to next, Mayor Wood?” Manley quickly said, “Are you threatening me?” I answered “no, I asked you a question, how is that a threat?” Rather touchy isn’t he?

I voted for Mayor Wood and I am a citizen with some problems, I want answers to my problems. Shouldn’t a voter be able to get answers from a man I helped elect? Instead of being willing to even consider my problem, you wanted to argue with me, Mr. Manley. You wanted to end our conversation because I was yelling. I wasn’t yelling, but was getting heated because of the way I was being NOT HANDLED by you … fair enough…GOOD BYE…however, I am not finished talking (gosh, that’s been a BIG problem for me since my early childhood) , so let me use this opportunity to have my say… Blogs are wonderful!

I don’t really know the protocol for making complaints to the city, but I started where I should have, Code Enforcement, and if they blow me off…….N E X T !!!!! There’s definitely going to be a NEXT. I will not be overlooked by you, Mr. Manley, not when it is your job to handle Code Enforcement problems, and I have a problem! Isn’t that what your salary, the City of Oceanside pays you, is all about? If I have ten problems, all ten need to be handled. I have not made one bogus complaint to you, they are all CODE VIOLATIONS… that’s your specialty…your job!

Had you handled the CODE VIOLATIONS properly to begin with, I’ll bet we wouldn’t have needed to call so many times, saving our city those valuable resources$$.

Do you not collect fines from violators so that you can pay the salaries of your enforcement officers? That perhaps would cause the code violators to rethink violating codes! I believe that’s why fines were established in the first place, as a deterrent to violating the law.

Are you advising all Oceanside citizens to overlook codes, keep code violation problems to themselves or are we living in Wonderland where the rules are different for us?

Do you particularly just plan on not handling any complaints from us because of the situation with our neighbors?

LIFE OR DEATH SITUATION, hmmmmm, let’s see, would our canyon burning, possibly killing many people, would I call in a complaint before or after the deaths? Faulty wiring done by an idiot, illegally, without a permit, have caused many fires before…LIFE OR DEATH? I’ll just bet statistics would prove that I should call first.

LIFE OR DEATH SITUATION…well, I have high blood pressure, “The Silent Killer”, sounds pretty risky to me … when a code violation my neighbor has illegally erected on city property causes my blood pressure to go up… do I tell Code Enforcement the problem before I die or let someone tell you after?

LIFE OR DEATH SITUATION…puddles of oil and transmission fluid standing on the street for twelve years, washing down the ditch, polluting and in close proximity to me, my family, dogs AND GRANDCHILD, and is actually ROTTING the asphalt!

BIOHAZARD…could that be a slight problem? Studies show these chemicals cause cancer, but I presume , not in Wonderland, because we’re so special, rules don’t apply here, according to you Mr. Manley!

As you can see, your instructions to me don’t make much sense, I’m confused. I need some clarification here in Wonderland.

You, Mr. David Manley, Code Enforcement of Oceanside, CA, in my opinion, did a terrible job of handling me, a grandmother and citizen of City of Oceanside, with a simple complaint, turning it into an argument. I have a problem, I called you, and you know what a very crummy way you mishandled my complaint, telling me you’d only handle my problems if they’re LIFE OR DEATH! Thought you’d just finish me up, right quick! No, sorry, that’s not how I work. I want some answers and my list of questions for the City of Oceanside is growing…

• Do you disregard all Code Enforcement complaints unless they are LIFE OR DEATH in the City of Oceanside, or does this rule apply to my son and me only?
• Does City of Oceanside collect fines from code violators, or does their “no fine policy for good code violators” only apply to specific neighbors, Hooty~Booty and Friends, here in Wonderland?
• How many code violations can a citizen get away with before the City of Oceanside might be so bold as to ask them to please pay to get a permit. so that code-violation, complaining, bad neighbors, like us, will stop calling to complain, wasting valuable city resources$$?
• Why does City of Oceanside make laws they don’t enforce, pay city employees to NOT ENFORCE THOSE LAWS, and then COMPLAIN to us… THAT YOU DON’T HAVE THE RESOURCES TO HANDLE OUR CODE ENFORCEMENT PROBLEMS ? Oops, there I go with the yelling, sorry! All that hard work for those City Employees,…AVOIDING PROBLEMS…all without collecting a single fine!

Since I love my city, I’ve done some heavy thinking on how to work out this problem of NO RESOURCES…and I’m donating this to the City of Oceanside
…

Equation:

$$Big Bucks to make many laws+ $$Big Bucks to pay many employees + $0 for Permits +$0 for Fines = NO RESOURCES!

Wow, I just figured out the City Of Oceanside’s financial problems! Fill in those $0’s and you’ll have RESOURCES!

It seems that you, Mr. Manley didn’t want to answer me, as I had to ask you three times if it’s a code violation to leak oil and transmission fluid on the city street, ruining it. You only reluctantly answered after THREE TIMES, “well… technically, yes.” And by that answer, I suppose it’s one of those bad codes you don’t like to enforce? Citizens wasted a pile of money making that dumb law and needing to pay people to NOT ENFORCE the law and me wasting your time calling in a violation! I’ve got another brilliant idea, why not just nix that stupid law and then, no problem!

I won’t be asking you any more questions, Mr. Manley, I’ll be moving to someone else…NEXT… as you seem to be a $$RESOURCE WASTER ! It took tree times longer, with three times the effort on my part, three times more of city money wasted, getting you to answer a specific question, yes or no, very simple… and then your answer is a wishy-washy excuse for not handling a CODE VIOLATION… TECHNICALLY!

They are only… TECHNICALLY … CODE VIOLATIONS, not to be confused with REAL CODE VIOLATIONS.

Anyone else out there confused or beginning to feel unbalanced trying to wrap your brain around all this? Guess that’s why David Manley is head of Oceanside Code Enforcement, and gets paid the $$BIG BUCKS to decipher what’s real here in Wonderland.

I want my ugly street repaved because BIG JACK ASS ruined the street and it is a BIOHAZARD!!! Laws in Oceanside protect me from that. 

Does Code Enforcement respect the laws of Oceanside, will they dare to say anything to BIG JACK ASS? Fine him? NO, bet they won’t! I’m sure taxpayers in Oceanside will be more than happy to pick up that small expense for repaving the city street because that BIG JACK ASS has ruined it and he is very special. No one else has parked in that special parking spot for the past twelve years I’ve lived here. He made that BIG, OLD, MESSY BIOHAZARD for the City of Oceanside…ALL BY HIS BIG JACK ASS SELF! 

Also, BIG JACK ASS parks a commercial vehicle on our little overcrowded parking cul-de-sac. I’m complaining! Isn’t turn-about fair play, after all, he did complain to us about our parking a truck, not a commercial vehicle, on the city street? In fact, he threatened that I could GET SHOT over parking OUR UGLY truck in that Queen’s special spot.

Never bothered before about where anyone parked, but since I’m now HYPERSENSITIVE and Allergic to UGLY vehicles parking in my face, and Big Jack Ass called that point into my affliction, making me unbalanced, warping my normal, smooth, calm brain waves into a herringbone pattern with polka dots.

The City of Oceanside is adding to my problems, OVERLOOKING ME, making me feel insignificant, slighting me, giving me an inferiority complex, making me into a third, perhaps even a fourth rate citizen, excuse me, I’m feelling really low, maybe fifth or even sixth rate, I don’t know… how high does that rating system go? Just put me at the very end of your list , please, Mr. Manley, if that’s not asking too much, as I don’t want to be a problem to you. I’m just so very sorry that I’ve bothered you and the city and wasted your resources. I don’t even deserve to call myself a citizen of Oceanside, CA. BAD…BAD…BAD…BAD.

With the problems my neighbors are causing me, being ignored by you, head of Code Enforcement, Mr. David Manley, an unbiased employee of City of Oceanside, CA, I have developed a SPLIT PERSONALITY. I’ve just been diagnosed by my cat, so if you’re reading this and see conflicting attittudes, anger and amusement, hot and cold…well, this is WHAT IT IS !!

If anyone at the city needs a therapist, I highly recommend my cat, Yaki. I can only imagine if you work in the inner circle of the City of Oceanside, that you’re in dire need of a therapist. She will listen to you whine for about ten seconds, and she’s outta there, or she’ll yak-up a hairball; quick and painless, this treatment puts your problems into perspective.

This was sort of the same treatment Mr. David Manley, head of Code Enforcement, City Of Oceanside, CA, gave to me, except he messed it up, said stuff that makes NO SENSE to me…NOT PAINLESS…Yaki says that he is SHINING ME ON, and Yaki seems to always be right. Shining me on is a button pusher for my…MAD BUTTON which is directly hot-wired to my BAD BUTTON, can’t help it, it’s automatic, sorry!

I’m just such a lucky person to have a talented cat. Not only is she a great therapist, a live-in, available 24/7, she’s also a Voodoo Queen, Karma Kat. She takes care of spells for any enemies that I might have; can’t get any better than that! She’s been working overtime, lately with all the enemies , and the clues coming from her crystal ball as to why I’m having a problem with the City of Oceanside, and it will all come together.

The rest of this mystery with the other cryptic messages flying out of the crystal ball, will be solved during her next crystal ball session.

So far, she’s dead on about Manley not returning my calls. I told you, Mr. Manley, about a crack in the asphalt that the city needs to take a look at, as well. I’m really sure you don’t take care of asphalt , but maybe you’ll be helpful and will please direct my complaint to the proper city official. You wouldn’t want us to slide down the canyon, would you? Would that fall (no pun intended) under your LIFE OR DEATH policy or do we slide and die first and have someone call after?

Anyone notice that this is a REALLY CRAZY way to handle city business and citizens’ problems? CONFUSING! Things seem rather strange and dysfunctional here in our little beach town.

You finally said you would come out and look at the problem, so we’ll see what you decide. If you just came out to look, you again wasted resources as Big Jack Ass has one of his ugly vehicles covering the spot, so that would be a wasted trip unless you got him to move, and I know you wouldn’t dare want to say anything to him.

I do have these nice photos on my blog, but you indicated to me that you wouldn’t be reading my blog… anyway, bet you’ll sneak a read, as it is very interesting, this little peek into how the city of Oceanside handles certain things and the way they handle certain people. Yaki says they act the way they’re acting because of POLITICS. I’m going to have to explore this further.

I called and left two more messages to see what your research has uncovered about my neighbor, Big Jack Ass’s code violation planter, causing us a code violation with his mess, and the BIOHAZARDOUS OIL SPILL that’s polluting the entrance to our home, created by BIG JACK ASS , and a crack that could turn our cul-de-sac into CRATER CANYON, and you’re not going to return my calls…SHINING ME ON…NOT GOOD POLITICS…BUTTON PUSHER!

Yaki has spoken… spelled out the ugly truth for me, but it’s just so hard for me to realize that you, Mr. David Manley, head of Code Enforcement, don’t care about me, as a citizen of Oceanside, CA, or my problems…

LIFE OR DEATH!!!!!!!!!

WONDERLAND…WILD WILD WEST, LAWLESS OCEANSIDE… AT IT’S BEST
