For years, I was required to keep a Company Car (later a work van) but was discouraged from driving it for personal reasons. So, I got my own (sportier) car.

That's TWO CARS for me alone....

 

[Silverado12]

I have 5 cars in my driveway. I like it because anybody casing the house is confused as to whether there is actually anyone home or not. That law really sucks. Even when I was financially challenged my wife and I had 3 cars between us for when one broke down. Once I had two broken at once; not fun times.

Well, in the US it is a right, 331 U.S. 1.

It sounds as if Minnesota is trying their best to become another California.


Sure is. Both states prohibit phone holders being mounted to the windshield.


That I don't have a problem with. People shouldn't be doing ANYTHING with their phones while they're driving...

Very common here in Florida for a person to rent out rooms in a 4 bedroom house and 8 cars in front of the house at night.


That's different, and I wouldn't have a problem with that, but limiting how many vehicles you can have on your own property of a single family home is Hitler-esk...

Prolly is spelled correct.... "County Prolly"....the name of the county.

[bbhero]

Hitler-esk= far out there towards one side of things ideologically and that's the side running place out west and there in that city.

I guess you think people shouldn't be allowed to drive anywhere unless they know exactly how to get there ahead of time, then? God forbid you need to take an Uber. Using GPS on my phone in a mount is much less distracting than staring down at the screen in my hand.

That said, we have 3 vehicles (and 3 trailers) parked in our driveway every day in the People's Republic and no one cares.

You don't have to do anything with your GPS while you're driving....you can enter your destination before you leave, and turn it off when you arrive...

You stated that you had a problem with phone holders in general. I was pointing out why that is absurd. Pretty sure fiddling with your phone while driving is already covered under "distracted driving" laws.

Need to have a good lawyer file individual suits for each person in city that feels infringed. Thousands and thousands of lawsuits.

Hmmm.

About 13 or 14 years ago, our municipality began adopting pieces of something called an International Property Code, which I derisively call their French property code, where it apparently originated from, which lends itself to all kinds of micro management mischief like this.

As part of our upgrades, we have an ordinance that basically prohibits parking vehicles on any type of a soft surface, apparently regardless of zoning classification. This led to a friend of mine covering his backyard in SB2 gravel.

If you have more than five cars outside in one location, you are supposed to have a used car dealer license, but this also gets you into zoning classification issues, and seems to be sort of arbitrarily applied.

Personally, I don't care. If a neighbor wants to hang a small block Chevy from a tree limb, I'm down with it. This is America, after all.

Most cities could not care less. They fight you with public money. You fight them with your money. Guess who typically has the staying power in that fight?

If my city pulled something like this I would set my house on fire and move to the country.

 

[red7404]

my cousin lived in a place that if you left the garage door open more than 2 hr. you got a call from the neighborhood watch dog. AND you cant work on your car.

HOA nonsense.

I have no desire to ever live in one of those places.

 

[MCompact]

All of which is why I live @1 mile from my nearest neighbor. As for HOAs, they probably wouldn't be so numerous if the Berlin Wall hadn't fallen, as most HOA members would then be working for the Stasi in East Germany...

Get active, Minnesota residents, stand for election, lobby your councillers, reverse this legislation. Don't use this forum to whine about it, use it instead to drum up support.
It will take time, money and a lot of unrewarding hard work to do this. Guess what, it was thee three factors that created great nations, and won freedom for oppressed peoples.

Claud.
