Re: Project truck storage: City at your Throat?

I can see both points of view on the matter. I live in so cal, and although I am not in a homeowners association neighborhood, there are city ordinances against inoperative vehicles parked in the street (for an extended period of time, which as a homeowner I am in total agreement with). You can have an inoperative vehicle in your driveway indefinitely (where I live) and I do not have a problem with that either. At times there can be some eyesores, but more often than not there are classic vehicles of all makes and models where someone is holding on to them and restoring them slowly but surely. I like it, and see it as freedom being exercised, along with responsibility. There are places here where you cannot even have the hood up and work on your car in the driveway. I do NOT agree with this at all (which is why I live in this neighborhood). Unfortunately, some folks have no sense of responsibility, parking their Pinto or Escort on the front lawn, leaking oil and weeds engulfing it. This is why laws and ordinances come out. The few ruin it for the many.

John, is this the 68 you picked up here in the orange groves behind my house? I am sorry to hear about your problems with the city.
