read all the comments, now i need to read the follow up
in five years she couldn't save up enough money to pave the lot? i don't understand that. estimate she had was $1700. okay, how much would you have to bank over a five year period to come up with under $2,000? if i was told i had five years to get my parking lot paved or i'd be out of business, and i was told that right at the beginning, i would find a way to get it done.
as for other businesses in the area being 'junky' and not having paved lots and being grandfathered in, there is NOTHING new or unfair about that. i arrived here, and immediately had to bring things up to code. didn't matter if all the other businesses around me do not ... if they have all been run by the same folks for years, then they are grandfathered in. one day, they will change hands, and the new owners will have to do things to bring them up to date .... i'm sure it won't feel 'fair'. yes, it's frustrating and hard and can be downright expensive to comply ... but that's how it is here, too.
