wow.

yet another reason for me to live in a cowtown. i know people that live in these neighborhoods who have gotten citations for having their garbage cans out too early, having a car with rust spots parked out front, unapproved paint colors on their house, etc. i can't imagine a possible benefit to living this way.

I've always believed that code enforcement was a good thing. When left to their own devices, some folks will not take pride in their property, and everyone's real estate values will suffer. I say fuk them. Keep your shit tidy, or move out to the fuking sticks where no one cares.

This is one application of 'the greater good' that I can get behind. If I keep my property neat, but the dimwit next door has four dead cars on his front lawn, paint peeling off the house, and the grass growing up to his asshole, my property devalues 20% or more.

You want to live among civilization, be civilized.

Civilization and $2000 fines for tall grass?

It would make you think twice about being a lazy fuk and not cutting your grass, wouldn't it?

70k a year!?!

i want her job.

Without the motivationally enfeebled, there would be no job.

I think there is a difference between 'house wrong color' and busted vehicles in yard. notably Camarros.

I had neighbors with a mullet/camarro obsession. I really didn't like it, but I also didn't want to be a slave to some asshole beaurocrat trying to sodomize me with fines.

they are gone now, all is better.

Fuck that it's your property you can do what you like with it. These people with this bullshit crying about making your house pretty is worthless.

Seriously, I think 70k a year of hard earned taxpayer dollars can be better spent. Exactly where does one draw the line concerning govmt control of your personal life.

This is teh nazi. I hate them.

Better yet:
Imagine you suddenly have to go to the hospital, unplanned, for 5 days. When you get home you have a nice fine of $1000 to $10,000.

Nice.

I still can't believe this bitch gets paid 70k.

i think if you want purple trim on your windows and a garish christmas display, you're guilty of nothing more than bad taste, which is pretty subjective. then again, if you choose to live in a planned community that has a bunch of rules all laid out, go nuts. i can see the point of ordinances against rotting cats and garbage in your yard.

argumenti-vlad, however, says hey sorry that the mullet family next door with the 2-foot high grass and the couch on the porch is dragging down the property values, but location is everything in real estate. $70k of taxpayer dough per year is too much to pay to defend your unfortunate investment. better luck next time, marketeer!

argumenti-vlad is a dick.

Well thank you, sir, for arguing both sides of the arguement...I guess WE'LL all just go home now. kthx

if arguing on the internet makes you retarded, arguing both sides either makes you super retarded or not at all. i'm comfortable with either.
