So how much are the going to compensate people to obtain reasonable means of storage to maintain lawful status?




-$85 an infraction.

My suggestion I sent to my councilmen and mayor is to take some of the vast empty acreage Kenner has near the airport and set up a boat parking area there.

LOL you lost me here. Primacy of use outweighs collective property values unless you signed a contract that says otherwise.

doesn't allow boats parked in driveways anymore.
Parking a boat in your drive way between weekend trips is fine. Its the a-hole who leave their shitty boat there 365 days a year who ruin it for everyone.

dabigfella, I know reading comprehension is not your strong suit. I can tell by your syntax in writing. Anyway, IT IS NOT A NEIGHBORHOOD BAN BUT A CITY WIDE ONE!!


There is no evidence to suggest that parked moveables bring down property value. None at all. If it were the case then a ban on old cars would have happened first as they are much more common.

so you're fine investing $500k or $1M in your home and allowing your neighbor to never cut his grass, leave beer cans all over his lawn, and leave his project mustang on blocks in the driveway for years? Surely you would be hollering bc if you ever tried to sell your home, people would see your neighbor as a nuisance and never make an offer. This isn't about the guys with nice boats and/or covers, this is about the heathens who ruin it for everyone else with dirty,messy boats that ruin it for everyone.

Living by the water, I guess I have gotten used to it, but it will be a while before I get used to seeing the ice chests left next to them.

If I'm building something that costs that much in a neighborhood (which I would never do), I'd make sure that there was an appropriate HOA contract and guidelines.

All I'm saying is without that, the argument about property values is secondary compared to property use.

So you live in a house for 30 years. You have had boats that entire time. You are now on fixed income and are tight with your money, but you love taking your grandkid out on the lake on Sundays. You are saying that person who has lived there since the area was a swamp, should have to abide by rules put in place by people who live in new developments that already have neighborhood bans on such things, just because they don't like seeing boats when they drive through your neighborhood?

you're on a fixed income but can operate a boat?????? Think about that statement for a moment, do you have any idea what you're talking about? A good friend of mine has a 55 footer, and it cost over $1100 in fuel to take it out, just stop.

I'M NOT TALKING ABOUT THE HIGH END AREAS DUMMY. IT'S frickING CITY-WIDE.

I am saying people in the old original houses that have no yard access should not have this imposed on them.

That's it. You keep taking examples from your HOA and putting them here. Learn to read and comprehend then reply.

Thanks.

ah ok, so you're more concerned with poor grandparents with an old,rusty paddleboat in their driveway. Their happiness is of course much more important than the property values of the entire city. Then when those old people die and their estates rot until probate runs its course, that paddleboat is rotting away,getting smelly, and reminding all potential buyers of homes around their home that trashy people live there and they should look elsewhere. Did I get it?

Yeah, dumbass a 55 footer. Come on man. Most people here have flat boats and dual consoles and the like. I can fill my 20' up for $35 and spend a nice day on the water. So yes, plenty of people here fit in my example.

Do these people not have a right to use their property as they see fit? Are you arguing for a form of governance that places collective property values above property rights? I'm not sure what your dig is.
