it's one of the reasons I have longed for property with acreage outside the city limit...
Also one of the reasons I like the part of rural Washington where I bought a home... what happens at my neighbors place does't bother me if it stays there...
One of the old guys has several tractors... some might call it farm art and I think it adds character.
Nothing wrong with people that want strict compliance and I imagine that is why we have HOA and bless them if it is their choice.
My neighbor in Oakland is a building contractor... he had his company name on his pick up... it became a problem for him as the truck wouldn't fit in the garage so he had to take off the company name... the only person that could possibly see it is me and it didn't bother me in the least... just like my Deere 110 Backhoe didn't bother him...
My biggest problem is managing rental property... as the owner or manager I get the violation notices and have spent a lot of time dealing with it... one of my tenants was in the reserves and deployed to Desert Storm... his car was parked in the driveway... a nice car with a layer of dust the tire were getting soft... licensed and insured... the city really wasted a lot of time... I had to got to the city council with pictures and explain the owner was deployed... enough rallied so that it was deemed OK as long as the tags were current and car was washed and tires kept up...
Had I not been involved it would have been towed and lost for the tow fees and impound.
The issue is a car that is not used/licensed/insured/operable is a nuisance and storing vehicles is prohibited unless in a garage.

) when I lived in town. Two or three (one may have very recently been removed) Ford window vans fill a driveway on my route to work. They are filled to the top with trash.
