I GOT A TICKET/NOTICE for my car thats in the driveway.

I agree to a point but if you're effecting the value of your neighbors houses by your actions, that's not fair either. You should be able to do anything on your own property as long as it doesn't hurt others. If you keep your "property" out of view, they should leave you alone. Put no trespassing signs up, take the plates off, lock the car, cover the VIN plate, and use a car cover. They'd have a hard time notifying the registered owner or filling out a form without any info. There's probably still some way they can haul your stuff off, but if it's under a car cover, how can they justify it as being an eye sore. All vehicles look pretty much the same under those conditons whether it's a brand new Rolls, a restored Hemi Cuda, or a rusted out Vega. Asking people to make their place presentable is not unreasonable if it's visible from another property. It's called, being a good neighbor. But there shouldn't be a law about it. What gripes me is the nit picking requirements about fence height, paint colors, type of plants, etc. How did we give up our property rights like this?

I was addressing the specific point of someone telling me how to use my garage and driveway. But I agree, for the most part, with what you are saying. In Vegas your vehicle can't be on blocks (or flat tires), no major parts missing (exterior), and must be parked on concrete or asphalt. I just keep my Cuda under a cover so there's no reason for anyone to complain. Out of sight, out of mind......and I'm usually going out of my mind :D
