i drove an expedite truck(box truck with a sleeper) for a while..i asked the town hall if there was any problem with me parking my truck in my drive at my old house when i was home,about 2 days every 2-3 weeks,they said no problem.had several neighbors complain about the truck idling for 1 min from the time i pulled in till i shut down.a few months later i got a letter saying no semis trackors or trailers are aloud to be in the neighborhood and i would have to move my truck. so i went back to the town hall,i explained the difference in an 18 wheeler and my truck.. my truck sat on the same chassis as a dozen motorhomes parked all over the neighborhood.and there were a dozen more company truck/vans parked around the block.first they said i should park my truck at "the office"i told them there was no office,i owned the truck, and the company i was leased on to was in another state.then they said it was ok as long as i wasnt there too much..amonth later they came to my house and measured my truck,a new law was passed while i was on the road that no commercial trucks that fit them dimensions were aloud on my street...6 months later one of the neighbors that caused a lot of the trouble had a house fire,i went up and yelled to him that the fire trucks had to go,they violated the new law because they were the same freightliner fl80 that they made me get rid of..he wasn't too amused at my remarks..cant stand HOA's or small towns that act like HOA's..im in the country now..i told my neighbors now that if they give me any problems i would take up hog farming..

Not to threadjack but I found those signs amusing . I toured Europe on a harley back in 88 before the Iron Curtain fell and it was still very heavily militarized . Sitting in this little mom & pop place in Germany one morning when a heavy mechanized convoy came by loud as hell everything vibrating and dust falling from the ceiling and this old german woman calmly walking around putting things back and dusting like nothing happened . So I asked her if that happened often and how did she put up with all the noise . Her reply " Those are no problem Russian tanks are much louder ." suddenly dawned on me she was old enough to have been around and seen that first hand , sobering to say the least .

i would move south in a minute if i wasn't sidled with a house worth about 30K less than what i bought it for 4 years ago, and two kids in school. i love NY but hate the taxes and politicians here, i also hate how the liberals in the city dictate to the entire state. there should really be southern NY consisting of westchester, manhattan, brooklyn, queens, SI, the bronx, and long island, and northern NY consisting of the remaining counties.

beleive me it's not perfect here but better than NY I lived on Long Island dont miss it one bit miss some ppl but not that much lol. closed the plant i worked in for 34 years in 04 came down here got hired by 2 companies the same day sold 1600 sqf house up there bought 3500sqf home(hoa) put in a inground pool and still had money in the bank.
i know it's not shang-ri-la down there but i'm so sick of this state. i grew up in brooklyn and long island so i know that area too, my first order of business was to get the hell out of there and get upstate a bit.
unfortunately i'm stuck though...

I hope y'all can come to an understanding quickly, this happened to a friend of mine at a condo complex in Florida. He had been living there for about three months and had been butting heads with a similar guy and his guy quietly got himself elected as president of the HOA board and his first official act was to ban motorcycles from the property and had my friends bike towed for being in violation. He had to leave it off property while he fought it in court (about 18 months) and won because they have to grandfather him in since he was an existing owner when they passed the resolution. He used to be really considerate before but now he does not even try and parks it as close as he can to the complainers condo. The guy lost his position with the HOA because of all the money they lost paying all the lawyers. What a waste.
