re: How does the OT feel about boats parked in the driveway?

What I do not get at all is how someone can be conservative, yet think the government should step in and tell them what they can do with their own property that they have owned for years without complaint.

Hell, I would not even tolerate an HOA.

BTW, my 5th wheel is WAY trashier than my boat.

Bc property values are more important than your rights. Everyone is invested in that neighborhood and if they feel people with crummy boats that are not being maintained properly are littering the neighborhood than sadly those with nice boats get punished as well. Its like someone mentioned with the mustang. If you have a neighborhood and people are parking brand new ferraris on the street the neighborhood looks great to potential buyers, but then you get guys who want to leave as mentioned their unrestored mustang sitting there and rotting for a decade, what does that say to neighbors around you? It says that you have a slob, same goes for people who dont cut their grass, etc. When you live in a community, you abide by the rules of a community. If you dont like it, go buy land in bumblefrick and run a muck, I promise you can do whatever you want.
