Thread Name: Bad Neighbors
Subject: RE: Bad Neighbors
I went back to work full of anger and hell-bent for at least verbal revenge after getting that letter from the zoning enforcement officer. Then I read Sinsull's posting and really stopped to reflect on how lucky I am to have the camper and music festivals in my life, and how pitiful my neighbor is to have nothing better to think about than the view out her bedroom window. Thanks, Sinsull.

Update: I spoke to the zoning officer, who said that there are several violations in our neighborhood (boats, fences, etc.) but she only enforces them when someone complains, and she told me that it was in fact my next door neighbor who complained.

Here's an interesting catch: if we keep moving it every few days (we go away every other weekend in the warm months), we can keep it in our front driveway, but not in the side driveway next to the neighbor! Huh?

Also, no setback is required for the driveway, we just can't park anything there that someone could "live" in, so my son's car will definitely be parked there. And believe me, that's no great view!
