Hung Out to Dry
You may have no less than 13 shrubs; 2 trees. The garage is not allowed to face the road, it must instead be facing the side or back of the home. Your driveway should have only cars in it. All boats, flat bed trailers, and campers must be left behind the home. Trash cans should never be visible from the road, except on trash day. The front of the house must be all brick; no siding. And, if you so choose to have a fence, it must be seperated every 10 feet by brick columns, it can be no less than 4 ft and no more than 7ft in height, and it is not to pass the back corner of the home. Fences are not allowed in the front of the property.
…OH, and no clotheslines, at all.
Neighborhood rules. Is it just me? I mean, I understand the necessity of having some sense of organization but who are they to tell me I can’t fence in my front yard for Fido, or, that I can’t line dry my clothes? I can’t help but ponder the reasoning behind paying $75,000 for a piece of property that I don’t own, but maintain, according to someone elses ideas.
The moment your guard is down. The moment you forgot to bring back the trash cans and Jimmy’s bicycle, you’ve got the city beating down your door giving you 10 days to bring back the cans and hide that bicycle!?
What are your opinions on neighborhood rules?
