Man gets 30 days in jail for unfinished siding project

[IndyDave1776]

So you don't agree with your neighbors dictating your ammo supply which could pose a real danger where houses are packed like sardines but siding on a house requires government force?

Sorry about being ambiguous. So far as I am concerned neither the siding nor the ammo are any of the government's business.

 

[IndyDave1776]

Sorry, I meant that to be sarcasm. I was put on an ignore list earlier for doing the same thing

Hornadylnl is spot on.

I am with you. I thought that sounded a little out of character!

You get a waiver from the code enforcement/city engineer once you explain what is going on when you are in the process of improving your property.

You've emphatically stated that this guy's unfinished home was a "weapon" being used against his neighbors, and that their "rights" were violated by his inaction.

How in the world can government grant a waiver to allow that assault to continue? (I'm not asking who's office offers paperwork for the waiver.)

Using your analogies, its as if the government is allowing the neighbor to continue "shooting bullets into your home" or to continue "driving his truck down the public sidewalk."

Is your outrage going to disappear, so long as a bureaucrat grants the financial terrorist down the block a waiver? Aren't you still going to be clamoring for your fictional "right" to profitable investing?

It seems that any waivers would be like a government endorsement of what you perceive to be attacks on you. I can't see how you could logically be OK with waivers given the strong language you have used repeatedly in multiple threads.

What a load of crap.

I don't have a 'duty' to protect the property value of my neighbors, nor do I feel they have a 'duty' to do the same for me. Who decided that we all have this duty? Sounds like a bunch of collectivist nonsense.

Collectivist indeed.

The whole philosophy revolves around the axiom, "Public good before self-interest." The homeowner's opinion or financial situation is not as compelling as his neighbors' "right" to see attractive homes from their windows. The community's desires trump the individual homeowner's objections.

That slogan is found inscribed on some 80-year-old German coins I have collected.

Because the government wants compliance with the enforcement code so the rights of the neighbors are protected.

Because having long grass or crap siding is not an immediate threat to life such as when I drive *8th grader voice* MY PROPERTY on the sidewalk.

You issue a summons, you have a hearing, you decide liability and then if so a fine or specific performance order. You don't send in the SWAT team.

Strong language? I have been very mild. Just talking about my property rights.

The community's desires trump the individual homeowner's objections.

The right to my property trumps his right to damage my property.

If the individual homeowner's objects to my objecting to his harming his property, he is out of luck. Get off the couch and get to work.

 

[Bunnykid68]

I believe in those things but I believe those things are not the role of government. How is the above any different than the left using the Bible to justify their welfare and healthcare programs?

You are absolutely right, they are no different. It is up to an individual to do good deeds, not for someone to force them to do them.

You most certainly do have such a duty, and what is more, you must clean your room.

We have a duty not to harm the rights of each other and this includes property rights. This may involve cancelling Firefly night and actually doing stuff.

For all of the Firefly insults, when do you find time to look at your neighbors property with all of that ambulance chasing?

 

[hornadylnl]

I'm glad you guys don't live next to me. I'd be hanging from the gallows for my unkempt yard.

I'm pretty sure I saw pictures that you posted on here of your neighbors messy property. Also, didn't you complain about how it affected your property value and made your old house harder to sell?

That was my old house. Complain? Yes. Use the government gun to pistol whip my neighbors? No. Again, the quality of the neighborhood allowed me to get into that house cheaper to begin with. Should I complain that it contributed to a lower sale price?




My neighbor smokes outside while mowing the lawn. His smoke is affecting my right to enjoy my property. I'm going to demand a ban on all residential outdoor smoking.

There are more houses and apartments than there are families to fill them. When you build a new house and sell your old one, you are flooding the housing market and devaluing my house. I demand a moratorium on all new home building. This will bring the housing excess back in line and make my house worth more.

Agreed. The nerve of some people to build a new house and leave one vacant

I would say there is a difference between complaining and actually condoning government interference.

Have you ever considered joining a HOA?

The right to my property trumps his right to damage my property.

I have no sympathy for the guy whatsoever.

common sense ... Is it really that hard?

That is why there is a division of code enforcement.

Fair or not, its contrary to established public policy.

Ignore someone in authority for 5 years and you will get chewed up.

I'm soooo confused. Are we being oppressed by the "commune" or Nazi fascists, or both?

Anyone whose idea of landscaping is this: is not welcome as my neighbor.

Financial success also falls under the pursuit of happiness, if your actions affect that right of property ownership to one day sell that property at a financial gain and not able to do so because of actions by an individual head that's properly is maintained in such a fashion that affects it, then you have had a direct affect on my pursuit of happiness.

I built a new house in the sticks because I was tired of neighbors. Can I sue myself for devaluing my old house by building my new one?

Not sure. But I will back you up 100% on whatever you try to do. I cannot imagine living with myself if I were you

I'm not sure why you feel the need to bring Firefly into this.

That's just uncalled for

Because most of the human race has devolved into expecting the government to protect them from everything
