ok ... on the surface this seems outrageous... However.. would you REALLY want your neighbor running a church or anything else very regular out of his house filling up the street with cars ect?

Absolutely! And that was a REALLY dumb question. And, BTW, it's "etc" for Et cetera.

I go to a bible study every weds night at a friends house. They only last 1 1/2 hours. I would sue the city for harrasment.

ok... I guess I didn't make myself very clear.

Would you want your neighbor to turn his home into a homeless shelter? or how about a truck stop? or maybe a convenience store? I mean it's private property right? he can do what ever he wishes right? Maybe he can turn his front lawn into a outdoor bazaar everyday... I mean heck ! it's HIS property right? what do your thoughts matter!

Because that is why certain areas are zoned residential, because you don't want someone turning their house next to you into a toxic waste disposal site or anything else offensive.

I know... your gonna say... but it's just a bible study...

Ok... so it would be ok if 100 people showed up 12 hours a day for that “bible study” ? what if they set up a stage in their back yard and started playing praise band music at 200 db. most of the night?
