[QUOTE="Janx, post: 6262605, member: 8835"] It's against the deed restrictions to have the grass too long, or to park vehicles on the lawn (like trailers). Our neighborhood never had strong enforcement anyway, but its gotten more lax. The lawn police don't seem to send out nasty grams anymore. The result is, it looks like crap. And when neighbors are trying to sell their house, it makes potential buyers think our neighborhood is fricking GunsPoint (where every other persons IS a drug dealer or gang member). the way the guy parks it also means he is driving over the curb for his house and his neighbors (and part of their lawn), so he is also at actual risk of causing damage to stuff he don't own. And yeah, white guy, listening to rap at high volume, spends all his money on his ride, missing teeth = ghetto = drug dealer stereotype. I doubt he actually is a drug dealer, but he is likely clueless as to the stereotype he portrays. There is a balance between "it's my property I can do whatever I want" and "everybody's house has to conform to exacting standards" Since this guy doesn't even OWN the property, he has fewer rights than anybody in the whole dispute. I am all for cutting out the sub-division approval board for color of paint, siding, and all that crap. But that's under the expectation that people maintain a reasonable minimal appearance of quality (like mowing the lawn, not leaving actual garbage on the lawn, and not parking ginormous trailers that cause accidents around them or lawn damage to others).
