If the city is concerned that signs are left after a garage sale, then wouldn't common sense tell you that in order to post a garage sale sign you must clearly write your address on the sign. Then if the sale is over and on Tuesday the sign is still up, the city can go to the house where the garage sale was and fine the owner or give them a warning. I agree some people forget to take their signs down, but the majority don't forget. First it was no signs on poles, then it was no street signs in front of the sidewalk, then it was supposed to be behind the sidewalk, now you can't even put a sign up in someone else's yard (even with permission) if they aren't having the sale. Does the City of Topeka have any common sense? It is just a matter of time before garage sales are outlawed. I am having a garage sale this summer, and I will get my message across one way or another that I am having a garage sale. Ha. I find it more annoying that people stand at intersections waving a "car wash" sign in my face or stand there at an intersection collecting money or that homeless people wearing Nike shoes and new clothes are holding signs up at the entrance of Wal-Mart begging for money and the city doesn't do anything about that. There should be a law against that. No wonder no one wants to move here.
