at a rate of 20 per month. He's in violation you know. Tons of pictures:


If anybody wants to buy me a VW, or really any of the cars....(maybe not the Saabs) I'd totally appreciate it.

I would love this:


Here’s an extremely rare Dodge Dakota Sport Convertible (one of under 4,000 ever built!):

My guess is that somebody wanted to buy some or all of his cars at fire sale prices.

Comments say that the township wouldn't have cared 25 years ago. Back then lots all had to be at least 5 acres and people left each other the hell alone. But the town council discovered growth and now they're turning into a real town.

No faster way to lose personal freedom than to have a bunch of assholes move in around you.

This is why I have turned into an immigration "hawk".

All ya'll, fuck off, country is full, move your asses elsewhere.

I'd build the ugliest damned warehouse I could build on the lot and put all the cars inside. That way he's in compliance with the garage-kept requirement, lol.

Most municipalities have such ordinances also.
Probably enacted to get a feddle grant, much like the similar ordinance in our little town of 300 or so. They selectively enforce the one here, pestering my neighbor to hide his cars and leaving me alone. Of course, my unlicensed vehicle was here before the ordinance... I wonder if this fellow could say the same?

country is full

The country is nowhere close to full, especially in comparison with the rest of the world.

With the help of the American Planning Association, grants reach municipalities that are in dire straits financially, distributing them to struggling communities, grants that came with strings attached such as “visioning consensus,” the vision of a third, unelected government tier, composed of the United Nations and non-profit foundations that promote the interest of globalists and wild animals over the interest of the local humans.

They probably thought he would cave and get a business license, so they could tax him and others on keeping trucks for parts. Lots of towns are becoming dogmatic in their codes, as more Mexicans pour in, but the city hall aren't cleaning the towns they're just plundering what they can until their terms are up. Its all about over-taxing the people so the social engineers can spend out the ass, and when reelection begins say they've "balanced the budget," "fought corruption," and "cleaned the neighborhoods." Its got nothing to do with any of that, however.

http://canadafreepress.com/article/now-pushing-u.n.-agenda-2030-with-social-engineering-of-the-elderlySomething similar's been going on in Lafayette. Our biggest, oldest mega-church is taking grant money to renovate houses in the original suburbs, then moving their own congregants into the houses in the name of Jeebus. Get out you evul poor, the power of Christ compels us to steal! These sorts of federal grants completely undermine Home/Dillon's Rule law, by tethering municipalities to "free" money.

Indeed. We could run way off topic with this but on the whole, the more populated an area becomes, the greater the loss of freedom. —Not necessarily overpopulated, but just, growing.

Georgia recently legalized fireworks again (the fun ones), but unless you lived in a suburban area, you probably didn't see much difference after the ban was repealed. People in rural areas have been smuggling in and shooting off fireworks of all kinds for years, ban be damned. People in the cities aren't allowed to shoot fireworks indoors and can't legally set them off on streets or sidewalks, so for sheer lack of anywhere to launch them, they still can't enjoy them, lol.

Like the OP says, 25 years ago, 200 cars in a yard would have been a non-issue, but then the guy got . . . neighbors.

F'k people, am I right?

Not only that, he got liberal neighbors. Ann Arbor is as blue as they come, and the area this guy is in is one of the places they're sprawling to. There is almost certainly much hand-wringing and heartfelt anguish over the fluids that old cars can leak.

My township has limits on detached garages, would have to get that attached to the house. You can have a max of 2200 square feet with 2 outbuildings. Unless it's ag, the right to farm act in Michigan means ag gets away with almost anything. He should say that pickup truck is for farm work...
