So many discussionsSee you should reformat your head drives. I think that will help
Just you wait til you get old, you young whippersnapper!
What the city should do then is find an area that is in need of a little cleaning up, and let the guys do that and build an RC playground. Maybe even help them out a bit to to really make it nice. It would maybe spark some more interest and get kids off their video games.
So what these guys should do is go to a council meeting and propose that. If they did it right, it might just get approved.
Well, shucks. Old thread or duplicate thread, it is still a topic of concern. A topic that most of us as individual RC'ers have little control over. Without a MSO (Major Sanctioning Organization) acting as a voice we be pretty much left hanging out in the wind and at the mercies of any and all private or public entities that may entertain and allow a RC presence.
That said, why is that manufacturers hesitate to step in and support RC'ers? Be it that their only interest is in selling us RC's and don't give a rip if we have a place to run them? Guys, the hobby needs external support. We alone are powerless as individuals to represent the hobby to the masses. Outside of perhaps or neighbors and onesies and twosies we happen upon. Beyond that an individual voice is no better than bloviating in the wilderness.
Been in this hobby twenty-five years and have yet to see it actively and favorably supported outside the niche industry that it is.
TV channel report is big bad city council harassing a hobby in the interest of whatever agenda they may be pursuing? Perhaps more to the story, but perception is reality. RC deserves better. -AC

How sad. They used a non-crawler in the background. But seriously, A nuisance?

The city can't take care of the homeless infestation, they sure don't have time to deal with a few people complaining about a place for rc's. Truth hurts.

The homeless would probably carry off their obstacles for use as shelter material anyway

Maybe have the homeless be the obstacles?... was that my outside voice. Oops, sorry.
Did you even bothered watching the video before commenting?
Homelessness was mentioned by the news anchor within the first 10sec of the report.
The group initially got the an unofficial okay from some city officials, with the city even providing them dirt for this project.

Because that is where all the cities attention and funding goes these days. No time or money to deal with the mess the rc guys have made.
They only deal with the people that want to be good citizens. The homeless, thugs, thieves, s-- workers and recreational chemical sellers all get a pass because it's too much work and the Cartel will tell them to stop bothering them.

You can't fine the homeless, no revenue for the city.
