Zoning laws are the same thing. You don't want zoning, go live where there isn't any.Some friends of mine live in a town in Florida that has no zoning laws.
It's a damn freak show and the value of their house hasn't risen along with the rest of Florida.
I was just thinking about that. Around here most places have some restrictions. Those that don't, you don't want to live there anyway. I'm trying to by 10 acres out in the country. No mobiles. No houses under 1000 sq feet. No houses moved on or built with used material. The mobiles , if there was a size and age restriction would be ok with me but the rest is just reasonable IMO.
Just curious.
If I buy into a property that has an HOA and the CCR's have no restrictions on say, parking in a driveway. Several years down the road, the HOA decides that they will add a new rule that says no parking in driveways or the street (typical I might add). Sadly, your vehicle is too long to fit in the garage, a Suburban for instance or a full size Caddy, or you own more than 2 vehicles.
By the logic of this decision I have no option than to sell my vehicles, almost surely at a loss.
And I have no recourse?
I bet there would be lawyers lined up around the block to sue and I believe they would win my case for me.
In my mind, this case is a "taking" of my property.
I would not take this lying down.
And for the record, I don't smoke.
