Around here if you have your junk, or whatever, before they pass the zoning, codes etc, you are grandfathered in so they cant do a thing about it. Off the top of my head there are at least 2 such instances smak in the middle of town. One guy had this big parcel of land right in the middle of town that he had old houses moved in, old cars, just about any kind of junk you can think of. I mean it was crammed in there. Looked like a junk yard. City couldnt do anything about it at all. He died several years ago and somehow the city ended up with the property and cleaned it up. All the junk is gone now but no telling how many millions that cost the city. The other example, guy is still there he has a regular house on a regular size lot in the middle of town that he basically has a car lot on, with lots of junk cars. Cant do anything about him either because he was around before there were regulations. There are many folks out in the coutry that are similar in areas that have zoning etc now but there were there before all that.
