There was a highly publicized story in Texas, I believe, in which the local town council used this type of law to shut down a church. I forget the exact details, but the owner of the place was put in jail due to these types of laws. I guess the upshot was that the town council passed these laws aimed at specific persons, not because it was a general problem.
“We have a big backyard and pool. We used to have huge parties back there, also movie nights with an outdoor theatre screen. We have had over 80 people at a time back there and none of our neighbors cared.”
LOL, same here. My trick was to inform and invite the neighbors. Thereby, the tendency to complain is greatly reduced, especially if they come over, even for an hour or two :)
Hah!!! I always invite the neighbors too. None of them have ever come but have never said a word. Our next door neighbor who I am sure gets most of the noise recently came over and begged us not to move. I said....even with our loud parties and such? Lol. He said.....you are the best neighbors, please don’t move. He was relieved when I told him we aren’t going anywhere. We were actually thinking about leaving the state but stuff happens.
