Residential zoning issues

that's funny right there!!

 

He just described half the homes there.

 

I don't like HOAs anymore than you do, but in this instance I will stick with my opinion on big trucks. Obviously there's some people out there who don't care about how the neighborhood looks like. You start parking one truck and others will follow. What's next, oh yes, let me park my trailer here too ??!!! When you buy into a nice decent subdivision you have to abide by the HOA rules. Period BTW an HOA is not a Govt entity. That keeps property values up. It's a level playing field. If you don't want to do that, them go live some place else where the HOA doesn't exist, like in a trailer park for instance. I can tell you, this kind of behavior of I'm gonna park my truck here regardless is pretty arrogant, and disrespectful. I don't even like RVs being parked on a driveway, but for some reason, they ignore that. It's obvious that my point of view flies in the face of others, so I can only surmise I've got a different perspective of pride of ownership than the majority of you lot. Or maybe you just rent, in which case, that sums it up right there.

 

You're right I rent. Only a fool buys property in this economy and worries about it's value.

My dad's house was sold for a fraction of what it was worth ten years ago.

If I'm going to lose money on housing anyways let the landlord take the risk.

 

May your neighbor have transmission failure during rush hour traffic.

 

I don't see why parking somewhere else is an issue. Most truck drivers can't park at home unless it's a rural area. You can find a RV and boat storage place, a trucking company or diesel shop or any number of places. Residential areas such as subdivision or any group of houses shouldn't have to deal with a loud piece of equipment especially in the wee hours of the morning. Auto start can be avoided and is probably what triggered this whole mess. I even commuted 2 hours before. 100 miles is nothing for a truck driver.

I know it's a zoning issue. I'm just commenting on the topic since it was brought up. I for one can't stand HOAs because when they start with one rule they start knit picking with every little thing that bothers them. There is always that one person that is never happy and they usually end up on the board. The one that always peeks out the window.

When I lived in Florida we weren't allowed more than 2 cars in our driveway even though it would hold 4. How stupid is that. No boats either. I didn't know boats were eye sores and we lived 5 miles from the ocean. You'd think everyone was boat friendly. Something parked in your driveway that runs is not going to lower home values.

Every truck driver needs land in the country. One reason they become truck drivers is to get away from an office or factory environment. So don't live near them people.

 

I moved out of town to get away from snooty people who care more about appearances than personal property rights. Those who want to dictate what their neighbor does should pay their neighbor's taxes and mortgage.

The hall monitors are all gown up now, and want your grass no taller than 6".

 

I wouldn't want to park my truck at the house when I was living there anyways. First there's no room and second the boys next door bounce their basketball off of every car parked within 50 yards of their driveway. Why give them a can't miss target?

 

I've slipped a Walmart manager 20 bucks more than once that solved that. Well, it wasn't really a problem that needed a solution. I tracked him down, first, asked permission, first, and asked him to notify whoever needed notification so there weren't any problems.

I used to park at a heavy haul trucking company, got my first permission from the secretary. She said stick it over there in the corner, leave a case of beer outside the shop when you pick it up, you'll be welcome to park here whenever you want, but don't forget the beer.
