This brownshirt busybody really needs to be deported to china or Massachusetts or some other communist country where he will be happier then a pig in slop up to the day he gets shot by some other sniiveling beuracrat for some asinine rules violation in order for the bureaucrat to justify thier agency's exsistence. People like this asshalf "czar" tick me off to no end

Looking at the picture, tell them it's your very short driveway and that they can go Cheney themselves.

What's even worse is that in a few years, this "czar" is going to have his name in the paper again for accepting kickbacks, or kiting checks, or bid rigging, and he is going to be in front of the cameras, batting his baby blues, denying that he has EVER abused his office...

Too many people, too few parking places. The solution is to reduce population. Tax children 'cause what you tax you get less of. End most immigration now.

Doesn't look to bad to me. Looks like any rural setting. I wished I had a house.

[BenLurkin]

Hey -- they look operational and they ar NOT on the lawn ... so . . .

Breeding a thousand Carl Drega's, a FR classic thread.

"You see all this crap?" he said. "Who the hell wants to live like that?''

Mr. Snyder, I think you should give every homeowner, out of your own pocket and the goodness of your heart, an extra $20,000. so they can put in driveways and fix their sagging roofs....

No curbing at the edge of the street ?

Every time a heavy rain occurs does the city get sued for allowing the water from THEIR street to flood private property ?

Per that picture, it doesn't look bad at all. From what I can tell, this is nothing but a revenue generating scheme.

I used to live in Northern Indiana. A lot of A-holes up there.

Claire Wolfe is wrong. It is not too early.

[longtermmemmory]

I see this all the time with government lawyers (includes judges) vs private lawyers. The government people expect everyone to comply with absurd overregulation with no concept of the real world.

I suspect what is really going on is that some developer wants the properties and is trying to push some of the poor people out via desperation.

[longtermmemmory]

I wonder what would be less expensive.

Going around giving citations and tying up the administrative courts

ORRRRR

Taking the same money on inspectors and courts and resources, and just FIXING the properties via grants?

Instead of a code enforcement ticketer, hire a code enforcement FIXER.

I think these socialists want the problem not the solution.

[longtermmemmory]

Mr. Snyder, "let them eat cake."

Socialist aristocracy

"Hey -- they look operational and they ar NOT on the lawn ... so . . ."

This just came up in my neighborhood. About three years ago an old woman who lived two houses away from me passed on and for some personal, sentimental reason, her son has decided to leave everything exactly the way it was. The yard is overgrown, there is almost no paint left on the house, and there is a rusting hulk of a 60's era Buick with four flat tires, sitting in the driveway.

So a bunch of the neighbors decide it's an eyesore and find out that there is a local ordinance that forbids storing an unregistered vehicle in ones driveway. The township sends him a notice that he has to either sell it, remove it, have it registered or face daily fines.

God bless this kook. He put a car cover on it, stuck a for sale sign on it, and if you call him, you find out his asking price is 25,000 dollars! Turns out that this is perfectly legal and there is nothing anyone can do about it.
