But yes, some knuckle heads would take advantage and have a derelict car sitting for months, so I understand ordinances to help guard against this.
The one thing that kills me is people buy a house in the flight path of a small municipal airport that has been in operation for 60 years or more, don't do their due diligence to find out that there is a flight path over their heads, and then try to get said airport shut down. SMH
You also have HOAs where everyone is a code enforcer. Mostly because they have no life and nothing better to do.
A co-worker of mine had a nice Pineapple plant removed because of an HOA. It turned out that a whole new landscaping theme was planned and the treasurer had the inside track for the contractor. Once investigated, it was found out there was several hundred thousand dollars embezzled in many different ways by this treasurer lol.
Property value is a fickle thing, so there should be some restrictions so that everyone can benefit from a nice area. Unfortunately there will always be the power hungry or the corrupt. Kind of like the condescension trolls on this forum.

I would never buy a house with an HOA.

It's even older than that. I did a quick search of of the county zoning ordinance history and it looks like similar language has been in the code since 1978.
The law as written is bad, but it's existed for longer than I've been alive and no one follows or enforces it. The sky is not falling, despite what outrage-harvesting clickbait articles might lead people to believe.

I don't see any reason why that law will stay just in that area too.

I love it when people hundreds of miles away who don't know me decide things must be too difficult for me to understand so they must make a law to save me from myself.
Thanks Government

The CAncer has already ruined you guys. I thought the AZ summer would keep them out but we are infested as well. That giant quake is way overdue.

Half my family lives in the bay area. While I would hate to see them all fall into the ocean, I would certainly not want them all to move into my city and start voting.

38.51 million people in CA in you judge them all based on 'half of your family'.
Very reasonable, I'm sure.
P.S. This is a 4Runner forum.

If there was ever a state that needed to be split...it is California...not north and south, but east and west.
A lot of the stuff you hear about California happens along the coast line...San Francisco, Los Angeles, etc. But inland...it is small towns and cities mostly...farming communities who have different political 'cultures' than those on the coast.
Speaking of 'along the coast'...what was the deal with these kids wearing these designer labeled 'Hollister CA' shirts with pictures of surfing???
I've been to Hollister, CA...they have an off road park near there...it is a small town...a farming community...it is nowhere near the beach? The closest thing to a body of water is a cow pond!
Is there another Hollister, CA?

The Hollister clothing line has nothing to do with Hollister, CA. It’s a teenage clothing brand of Abercrombie & Fitch, headquartered in Ohio.
They’re a lovely company, kind of like McDonald’s, who’s known to issue letters threatening trademark lawsuits to the small merchants and residents of the city of Hollister who want to add the name on their own clothing.
Even the local high school students may be violating the trademark by having their team name on their T-shirts; the Hollister Haybalers.

BTW, why all the hate toward California? Sounds like jealousy.

Hate...no hate for the state...love it...the scenery, weather, food...lived there almost 10 years. But 'hate' (some) the people...specifically, the so called leaders of it. (About half of the people I met there were great...especially inland.)
The high cost of living and excessive taxation didn't help either.
Also, especially, on the coastal cities...they talk about inclusion but I can tell you first hand...in my experience, it is BS. It is not like I was pushing my beliefs or way of life onto them...it was more like...so, what do you think of this or that. We'll, I tell them an honest answer...and just because my opinions or belief doesn't match theirs (or I didn't go to a college that cost $100k a year)...I'm treated like an outcast.
Apparently, a 'libertarian' way of thinking doesn't set well with the so called liberals.
Any by the way, my experience is not unique.
'live how you want to live...believe what you want to believe...just keep your dog crap outta my yard..."
