  1. Unless garage and yard sales become a problem, the city needs to stop requiring the permits. Surely with the increased vandalism, thefts and drug problems in the city, the police needs to take care of bad things.

  2. I'm pretty sure the permits are to prevent folks from essentially running a small business out of their yard.

    Also, I doubt police go around verifying permits, so I don't think the permits are allowing for more vandalism etc.
