Condo carpark crunch

Parking woes hit condos that do not have enough parking spaces to meet the demands of car-owning residents

CAR-OWNING condominium residents can get into lots of trouble.

That happens when the number of cars owned exceeds the number of parking spaces allocated to them.

A recent dispute involved a family unhappy with new condo rules that forbid them to park all four of their cars on-site. They live in Hillington Green in Hillview Avenue.

They had faced no such limit when they moved into their penthouse in 2002, said a family member who wanted to be known as Mrs Lim.

The dispute escalated last month when security guards turned away their Mercedes S-Class. Police were called in to mediate.

Managing agents of condos said they increasingly have to find ways to accommodate residents with two or more cars.

balloting for carpark with regards to extra cars is only solution ....:o

The solution is to ask those with more than 1 car to buy a mansion with a huge compound and parking space for 10 cars.
Why stay in a cheap condo if you have so many cars? Aren't you shortchanging yourself?

yes, or they can buy three more units so four cars could be parked there.
