Re: Net Neutrality was repealed

[(Anonymous)]

I’m worried about libraries and schools and universities. I work at a library where the church next door shared a parking lot with us for many years. Then the church sold the land to a developer, and for a year, they fenced off their portion of the parking lot, which included the entrance. They said they’d let the public access the library if the city paid them $3,000/month, and for almost a year, the city wouldn’t pay, and our circ tanked. Now they’ve started paying. They could hire two of me for the cost of renting that entrance. I’m afraid the internet’s about to get like that.

So, wait, people couldn't access the library at all? Or how does that work?

Probably the parking lot has one entrance, which was on the church's side of the property line. So, when the developer fenced off the property, they blocked the entrance to the entire parking lot. Meaning library patrons had to park elsewhere (which may be difficult).

This is actually a pretty common problem that cities face, especially with church sales.

IANAL but shouldn't there be, like, easements and right-of-way and shit for access if there's a shared parking lot?

Re: Net Neutrality was repealed

You'd think so, right? I don't know a whole lot about the subject tbh, I've just seen articles about the issue and run into cases of it irl.

afaik it mostly happens with older properties (like a lot of churches) and old civic buildings which get grandfathered in even if they don't meet modern standards for parking lot access and stuff like that.

If there's street-side parking available anywhere within a few blocks, it's totally possible that the library legally has "enough" parking (in which case it might be difficult or impossible to go to court over the parking lot being blocked). That stuff is calculated based on the total capacity of the building, so a building that holds x people needs y spots within z radius.

But even if they don't have enough parking, I suspect that legally it would be the city's or library's responsibility to fix the issue by building a driveway on their side of the divide.
