Re: [MBZ] HOAs Re: anyone want a CHEAP 240D Fixer?
It's best to just live out in the middle of nowhere, no neighbors to worry about . Unfortunately, even that doesn't work sometimes. recently, we were annexed into city limits and Lately, there's been some subdivisions going in a few miles down the road, and whenever the real estate agents are having trouble unloading the poorly built overpriced dumps, they call code enforcement on every house along the roads going to their overpriced subdivisions.This all used to be farmland and hillbilly heaven. Put in a bunch of new houses and there goes the neighborhood. I think that while we're still in the majority, we need to start a HOA here and make it a requirement that each dwelling have at least two no functioning automobiles with hoods removed in the yard and at least one non functioning major appliance on the porch, so we can do our bit to preserve traditional Ozark culture :-) Maybe we can get the historical society to step in on our behalf ? -Robert Kevin Kraly wrote: I don't necessarily like HOA's, but I was thinking of a similar strategy to that of your Mog friend.

Re: [MBZ] HOAs Re: anyone want a CHEAP 240D Fixer?
What really sucks is the situation where you live in a rural area so you can have stuff laying around in the back 40, and the area around you gets developed, forcing you to clean up to comply with new laws. I think this is happening to Bob, the 'mog guy down in Parrish, FL, about 20 miles south of me. The whole area is going berserk with development, and he's smack dab in the middle of it.

Re: [MBZ] HOAs Re: anyone want a CHEAP 240D Fixer?
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. --- Kaleb C.

Re: [MBZ] HOAs Re: anyone want a CHEAP 240D Fixer?
This happens to someone in the mog world about every 8 months or so. The HOA starts bitching and trying to kick the mog out with existing rules like no dualie trucks (mogs have singles) no commercial vehicles (its not) no vehicles with GVW over 10k (its around 6-8k, less than the BIG SUVs parked all over) Its like they take one look and start throwing rules at it without bothering to see if the rules apply. I dont recall exactly what this case was but it was something stupid... --- Kaleb C. Striplin, work [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: What were they complaining about the mog for? --- Kaleb C.

Re: [MBZ] HOAs Re: anyone want a CHEAP 240D Fixer?
There used to be a cylinder head shop/MB and others boneyard in Little Rock, on the outskirts, and when the city encroached on it, it went by-by. I haven't got the straight story, but the word is that the guy got zoned/legislated/taxed out of existence. Big industrial development going in it's place last time I went by. Out where we are, all the folks around here run business out of their houses, some involve some heavy equipment, the guy behind me gets semi trucks delivering for his beverage machine business in the middle of the night. Non of it bothers any of us who moved out here in the first place to get away from all the citified ways of doing things, but for some reason, it's a problem for the new people buying places way down the road who can't see or hear it at home ( and I'm paying for a sewer on my water bill that got run to those morons along a different road just because it's past me, but there's no plans to run it up my road...go figure) -Robert LWB250 wrote: What really sucks is the situation where you live in a rural area so you can have stuff laying around in the back 40, and the area around you gets developed, forcing you to clean up to comply with new laws.
