You both sound like HOA nazis to me! So much for you owning your property and me owning mine and having respect for each other.
Kozy, you talk about a plumber having his truck parked in his driveway. My father owned his own heating company when I was young and got called out on service calls all hours of the night. His business was 20 miles away from where we lived. Are you telling me that he shouldn’t have been allowed to have his truck at home so that when he got a call at 2 AM he’d have to go to the shop to pick up the truck even if the service call was 25 miles in the opposite direction from the house?
I’m certainly glad I’m not a neighbor to either of you. Heck, you’d probably complain about all my flowers, the American flag flying in front of my house (most HOA’s have restrictions on that) or some other piddly crap! I’m glad that I have “a life” and don’t have to make others feel small to make myself feel large-and-in-charge.
Anyone who doesn't want to be bound by them is free to buy property somewhere else.
Perhaps your idea of "respect" is moving into a neighborhood and then deciding afterwards that the rules already in place are for other suckers.
But that would make YOU sound like the NAZI.
Yeap, I would complain about the plumber’s truck. It’s not a commercially zoned neighborhood. Here’s a suggestion; don’t take the business if it is 25 miles away.
While he is moving his car, get rid of th eRV and camper too.
