Thread Name: Bad Neighbors
Subject: Bad Neighbors
We have a mini motor home, which we bought to make our getaways to music festivals easier. Knowing that the next door neighbor had already expressed her disapproval of such an "eyesore" which would "bring down the property values of the neighborhood," we worked long and hard to make a new driveway for it. tucked in neatly next to our garage. After much hard labor to dig up the sod, get stone delivered and then spread the stone out, lined with a bluestone path, we parked the camper there.

A few days later we got a letter from the zoning enforcement officer, who said that she "was made aware of a possible violation" because our camper was not 20 feet from the side property line (where our neighbor lives).

My first reaction is to put the house on the market, and hope someone with 12 kids moves in to spite the neighbor. My next reaction is to ask for some suggestions from other mudcats. At the very least, I need to get rid of some of this anger before I speak to anyone...
