I can understand requiring a fence for deeper pools. But I don't understand why they think a building permit is going to save anyone's life.

I can't at all. Its called responsibility and we have taken it away from everyone by making such unconstitutional ordinances that require we do the bidding of the government on our own property. Where does it end. How is it that deeper than 18 is ok to require the PRIVATE PROPERTY owner to build a fence to appease the government for the insignificant amount of risk involved here??? Fireworks are not allowed in the entire police state of New York. Why?? Because, sniff sniff, children have to be protected from their parents by the government because a few of them out of millions have suffered injury. So, the whole of the citicenry of New York was stripped of their right to have and use fireworks to save the children. Many more than this die from other causes less than fireworks yet this one gets the banning. I resent government doing such things and resent parents who dont care but I am sick of losing my freedom to the idiots of the world by way of the one-size-fits-all liberal government answer like the one in Pennsylvania about the little pool.

You must be delusional....property ownership in the US went the way of the DoDo bird. We just rent it from the government.

I like fireworks, but for the life of me cannot figure out why the idiots in my neighborhood think that it's cool to start setting off fireworks every night for at least 3 weeks after July 4th. (They are illegal here.) I got no problem on July 4th, but it gets really old after a while. My daughter is trying to sleep and these morons are blowing up the neighborhood. These are the adults, by the way. It's commical to see them scatter like children when I come marching down the street.

Here Here. The Softside pool I have is 35 inches deep. The City maintains that my fence be at least 5 foot high. My fence is 4 feet high. Why should I install a higher fence because my pool is X number of inches deep? Well, F Them. I have posted no trespassing PRIVATE PROPERTY signs at both of my gates and they are locked. If anyone comes in, they do at their own peril. I get enough grief from my insurance company. Because most of the neighbors know I am gun-weilding, Christ-Worshiping White Anglo-Saxon Protestant they know I ain't messin' around with the signs. So does all the riff-raff that comes through. Besides, My Neighbor across the street has a 48 inch pool with the same fence and he seems to be getting by fine even though his is more visible from the street than mine is. Trespass at your own peril!
