Dear Editor:
When we came to Palm Coast 14 years ago, one of the reasons we picked this town was no boats, jet skis, trailers and of course the rolling billboards on the side of vans or trucks parked in driveways.
No one wants a motorhome parked next door in the driveway 24/7. Do you want an old moldy boat that smells everyday stinking up your air? People should be considerate of their neighbors. You are breaking the code law!
You all knew the rules and regulations of this city before you moved here. Don't bring your blight to our city streets. This happened to my parents. They had the same regulations. As the older citizens died, as did the code department, all (heck) broke loose. Thirty-two-foot cabin cruisers appeared, 18-wheelers, rotting school buses that were once campers parked in the driveway and between the homes. It went from a beautiful city to Daytona.
As the months passed, rats became a problem. My parents lived there 41 years. They never had rats. Don't let the genie out of the barrel. The only people looking for change are the Johnny-come-latelies.
Don't come here and change what has been decided years ago. If you want this crap in your driveway, Palm Coast is not for you. We need more code officers and a new leader — one who can stop playing favorites and follow that pamphlet the city wrote many years ago for just this reason. Don't let the newcomers bully you. Protect your rights!
