It takes a lot of hard work for someone to make their house and yard look nice. It takes lots of people working hard to make a neighborhood look nice. All it takes is one eyesore to ruin it.
This is exactly why I don't live in a HOA neighborhood. If one eyesore ruins your perfect yard, perfect house and perfect world, then you really need a reality check. What kills me is when a neighborhood sells itself on being a warm, friendly place to live but the offended "neighbor" doesn't even have the courage or character to politely confront the "offender". They've gotten their panties in a wad and yet they aren't mature enough to handle the alleged problem like an adult- they run to "Big Brother" and tattle. That is not a good neighbor- unless you live in Victory Towers.
Like I said, the solution is pretty simple. Wash the truck, park it in the driveway or yard. Living in a big neighborhood requires consideration of your neighbors.
This is funny because where I used to live, there was a city ordinance banning parking in the yard because it was considered "trashy". This was only really a problem in the poorer sections of town; no one in the nicer, upper-end neighborhoods would think of driving over their pristinely manicured, weed free yard. ****ed if you do, ****ed if you don't.
