Dear Editor:
My husband and I agree with Dennis C. Rathsam's Letter to the Editor in the Jan. 23 edition of the Observer.
We lived in a middle-class neighborhood where a family had a school bus in its front yard that they intended to make into a travel home. Their next door neighbor asked if he would consider moving it to his backyard, which he did.
We had a couple other neighbors who had business vans or trucks but had side-of-the-house driveways or large enough garages that they parked on/in. Another neighbor parked a pop-up camper and a boat on his driveway, neither one in nice condition.
Now for the icing on the cake: A retired farming couple moved into a home where two streets intersected and put up two full-size horse statues with an antique plow attached. Someone in the neighborhood did approach them about putting them on their side yard or behind the house but to no avail. Whenever we go back to visit old friends, it's still there.
Our neighborhood had a HOA at one time but we were told it had expired. As far as house colors, we feel the current code of light pastels, beige and gray with a light reflective value of 80 or more should remain in place.
