Dear Editor:
As if the ongoing degradation to our neighborhoods, by allowing businesses to operate virtual hotels in areas zoned as "Residential," wasn't enough, now our elected officials want to allow the parking of commercial vehicles in our driveways.
They don't care about the impact it will have on our property values. If individuals did their due diligence before purchasing a house in our area, they knew there were common sense restrictions in place.
If this is allowed, they won't be able to say no to boats, trailers, campers and all other manner of unsightly items. I have seen it happen in other communities. The city will get sued and they won't be able to stop it. As for ensuring compliance, the city is doing a poor job of that already.
Remember a few years ago, the resident who drove his truck plastered with vulgar and obscene comments all around the city? His right to free speech couldn't be infringed. How would you like to have that parked next to your house?
