Debate erupted on an online community over a notice on parking rules decided by the residents' representative council of a newly built apartment complex in Korea.
On the 12th, an online community carried a post titled "An apartment where a compact car pays a fine for parking in a regular space."
The apartment began occupancy in Jan. last year and has a parking garage spanning four basement levels.
The notice distributed by the residents' representative council said a violation fee would be imposed for breaking the parking rules.
The controversial item is the rule on compact-car parking. It says a compact car parked in a regular parking space and a regular vehicle parked in a compact-car space will each be charged a 10,000 won violation fee.
Netizens who saw the news reacted, saying, "Ask them to create as many parking spots as there are compact cars," "I've never seen a case where a compact car can't park in a regular space," and "There aren't that many compact-car spots, so if there's no space, you have to use a regular area—where else would you park?"
