That ‘59 Chevy Apache Fleetside looks darned near fully resto’ed! Even if it isn’t it’s worth a pile of money so up in the trees is a safe place to keep it. lol

. i would not be happy to have that mess in my neighborhood driving down my property value.

If your neighborhood is so ‘delicate’ that a little non-conformity is a threat, you sound like a (fill in the blank).

Driving down property value???

Do you live by Zillow’s assessment of your ‘worth’?

You couldn’t circle them around the poles because they would get stuck in the snow and ice. DUH!!!

Well, you tried.

But I know that that ice and snow is melting, due to ‘human-caused global melting’.

Another example of something that has bugged me for a long time. The Town didn’t care about the car in the tree for a long time. Then some busybody made a complaint and now the town is the bad guy forcing the grandma to remove her art. If some AH doesn’t like her art then that AH should be forced to do the suing. Aren’t we supposed to be able to confront our accusers? If the town is suing because og this jerks complaint then the jerk needs to be named and pay all the expenses, lawyers letters etc. etc. That would put a stop to most of these bogus complaints.
Go ahead, ask me how I really feel :)

There is a store here using a hollowed-out bug painted as Herbie. Again, no engine, no fuel tank. Just a shell. Not even glass or an interior.

It’s actually propped up on 4 milk crates and they aren’t even buckled.

But if you live in an area with zoning laws, there goes your whimsy and here comes your resale values.

I’m surprised she has a tree, honestly, All I’ve seen of Utah is like the surface of Mars.

I have a different take on property values.

If you are not going to sell your house before you die and you own it clear it is better being worth $5.oo than $5 million. The property taxes and insurance would be a lot lower. If I could replace it for $5.00 that would be a plus as well.

The best place is to have acreage where you neighbors do not even see you. Of have walls around the property so they never see inside if they do not want too.

I encourage all the easily offended to live with an HOA.

IMOH, it’s art — better than most taxpayer-sponsored public art. At least, that’s an argument she could make.

I went to a truck stop once that had an entire semi rig on a 40 foot tall pole. It was awesome.

True-everyone does not do well living in a hive-I hate cities, wasn’t brought up in one, refuse to live in one and only visit my guy there if he insists. I live on fenced and gated acreage, like everyone else out here. Ranch gates, long driveways, most dwellings not visible from the road. You mind your own business and others will do the same-in the rare instance that a control type moves here, they are unhappy enough to move away in 2 years or less-as Martha Stewart said it’s a good thing...

Hey look, she put an old school wash tub on the sidewalk as an amenity for all the neighborhood to use. Surely that should raise the property values!
