The common thread here is “….. a neighbor complained ……”.

Typical for the location, and Exactly why you never buy anywhere with a ‘homeowners ASSociation’.

If it’s not a junk yard, or affecting your quality of life - mind your own dmn business, and get a life.

I think there are some places around Sacramento, where you can only do very minor work on your car at home such as checking oil or adding coolant or charging a dead battery or maybe changing a flat tire. This would be a local ordinance, not just homeowners association.
I have a sister who lives in Arizona in a subdivision with a Homeowner's association. A neighbor's house burnt down, and to get permission to rebuild, they must use the same plans as the original house. It must match the other houses in the block!
Where I live, I can work as I wish. Our neighbors can do what they wish and we are all friendly. We have the best views in town. The more snooty neighborhoods with home owners association are across the highway and don't have nearly as good view and are even restricted to what breed horse they can have!

Norm -

I was sent to your area by my employer to do a facility inspection and I was delighted by Alpine! It was fantastic! It made me think of photos I've seen of Greece (never been to Greece, just saw photos). And the weather! The hottest it got while I was there was 72 degrees and soft sun. The exit I took off Hwy 8 was Tavern Rd.

You are a lucky man, that's a spectacularly beautiful area.

Should have come by. I only live about 2 1/2 miles from the Tavern Rd. exit.
The town got it's name because some early settlers thought it looked like the Alps in Europe. I was in Bavaria one summer on vacation and I can tell you our area in winter looks like the European Alps in summer! We have some snow on the higher peaks. Usually good weather here. Lodi can get a bit hot in summer but does get some bay breezes at times.

That worked. Boy I hope someone with political savvy can get ahold of this story and help the guy, and the other folks that the City of Sacramento has gone after. I'm out in the county, with acreage, but I would be "in a heap o' trouble" if such rules came here! Instead, I have to clear the land for fire safety, which can take some doing too.

Some folks should take the time to watch
the video and read the article in the link
before they comment 💡

Daniel calls what is happening “ Litigation Abuse “.

I agree 👍

Daniel’s family has occupied the property
since 1952 - that is 70 years.

Currently Daniel keeps 3 vehicles on
average in his driveway - they might
not fit in with the flashy cars some
neighbors drive - but Daniel has lived
there longer than any of them.

I think the reasoning on this is that only a licensed mechanic should do the more complicated work on cars for safety reasons. However, not all shops are honest and actually do a good job. I had a Buick which had a transmission which would race up and then jump into gear feeling like it might break an axle or something. This was especially troubling in heavy stop and start traffic or when starting out on a hill when the engine would race up until it dropped into low gear. Took it to the dealership and paid a couple thousand. It didn't fix the problem. Then to a independent transmission shop same situation paid but no improvement. No more Buicks for me!
Most shops including Ford dealers don't know anything about Model T's
I myself don't do work on newer cars with all the chips and electronic parts. I did charge the battery on a 2020 Suburu but I took off the cables just in case a surge could cause a problem. The dead battery came about from leaving the lights on when parked.

But those politicians neeeeed your money... ALL OF IT!!! I live in Sac county, and there is NO shortage of tax dollars here, the crack house down the street from me just sold for $520K!! Yet noticeably below the average listing at $650K. The state needs your property to sell, and sell often, so they can constantly readjust your 2% property tax! That fella has been in there for 70 years and the city/state bean counters are loosing money on him every day! If they kick him out, the tax bill will adjust from his measly $1K per year, to probably $15K+. I’m sure the revenuers see the $573K fine as 70 years of “underpaid taxes”...🙄

Like the Beetles said “don’t ask me what I want it for, if you don’t want to pay some more”.

While I somewhat agree with your perspective... the “law” being referenced here was advertised as a crackdown on “neighborhood chop shops”. Apparently these “illegal”chop shops have been pouring oil down storm drains, and parking cars on streets. The way I see it, it was already illegal to; pour oil down storm drains, run a small business out of your home that causes additional traffic in a neighborhood, work on other peoples cars without a license, etc... so what did they need a new redundant law for...?

Basically, all the other laws were not being enforced, or were unenforceable, so they came up with a new “law” that allow them to combat blight in whatever form they decide in the moment. Don’t be fooled, this is not about blight... this is about revenue! If this was about blight, the city would send over a gardener!

I have heard countless stories about code enforcement officers climbing up fences and peeking under tarps. I’ve heard they even write tickets for the damage they cause to fences that they illegally climb! Isn’t califunny great...?!🙄

Here, they give people a break if they build one or more "granny flats" That is additional living units in single family neighborhoods. This will also increase the traffic!
The only way to fix things is to kick out the professional politicians, all of them. Both political parties, and elect someone to represent your own district. Leaving the state will not correct the situation. Take a lesson from the Ukranians, stay and fight. Do now flee.

Just a thought .....

Take all sitting politicians and run them through a woodchipper.
Announce that this is how it will end for anyone else who wants to
continue the current agenda of BS. Then sit back and see how
performance improves or declines.

Or we can just keep on allowing the same thing, expecting different
results .....

While I agree that we technically have the power to do this (and I believe we should)... Good ol’ Boss Tweed showed us that our options are dictated by those with the power to nominate. The fat cat fraternities choose who is on the ballot, and so therefore decide who you get to vote for. No matter the outcome... the people loose, and the fat cats win!

I’ve always been a proponent of tar and feathering as a corruption deterrent, but in our current world of waste and pollution... seems like burning the tar would be not only an efficient use of natural resources, but would prevent ground pollution, and act as a public spectacle as well. All parties win... except the corrupt ones!

I remember an outrage about an aunty who sued her (10 year old?) nephew for injury when she picked him up or he bumped into her?
Anyway, she became an instant social media pariah and incarnation of the devil.

Digging a little further the truth was not what the headlines made out. Under her state law (sorry can't remember where in the US) 'someone' had to be liable for compensation for her accident. The only 'someone' legally possible was her underage nephew who had to be legally sued so that his parent's insurance (worker comp?) would cover her medical costs - which were actually quite a bit. All due to quirks in the law. There was no ill will or dissent between the family, rather that was 'just the way the law worked'.

Or in the Jeep case perhaps the way the law does not work....

That "law" is an outrage. I now have two mice, or two mouses. One is red and one is black. That's probably grounds for a lawsuit in this predatory idiot-dominated world. It's Wal Mart's fault. My attorney doesn't exist.

Strange things happen all the time concerning laws. I knew a man who had a group from church over to his home. An elderly lady tripped over the sunken floor in the living room. She broke an ankle or some bone. They filed for his homeowners liability insurance to pay for it and they wouldn't pay unless she sued him. The lawsuit cost more than the doctor's bill! And it caused discord in the church.
Another time when I was on a T tour, I reached into the trunk of my 26 Roadster to get a tool. It had been fitted with an aftermarket rumble seat conversion. When I reached in I bumped the brace which held the lid open and it fell down. I jerked my arm out but the very tip of one finger was cut very deeply. The end was just hanging by skin. Another friend drove me to an ER where they stitched it back on. It has healed fine except for a slight numbness in the area. I reported it to my medical insurance who would not pay because it happened on my car. The Hospital bill was $1,000. They wanted me to report it on my J.C. Taylor T insurance. So I did. The T insurance paid $900 and after that my medical insurance paid the other $100.

This is how Killdozers get made. Remember just because politicians pass a law does not make it right.
