Actually things like that do happen.
NOt too often now because of zoning and community regs though.
Just think if the regs did not exist.
But you are perhaps to young for that?
Maybe just grew up too wealthy to appreciate that. We lived in the hood growing up and similarly to the trend of this thread, people only approve of code enforcement in middle class or better neighborhoods. The slightly more privileged think that shade-tree repair shops, dog, cat and chicken raising, perpetual yard sales, hoarding, scrapping and neighborhood stereo broadcasting is desired in the hood.
They're in the position to tisk, tisk the govt's 'oppressive' codes because they are well enforced in their neighborhood. They just ignore the oppressive value of a front-lawn soup kitchen at your neighbor's house or the cavalcade of ghetto lifestyle described above.
I do not approve of code enforcement anywhere. I especially despise the codes adopted by home owner associations that make laundry lines a violation. Can anyone explain the rationale behind making the greenest method of drying clothes impossible for anyone to use?
It's unsightly and "ghetto".
