The City person was just doing his job. If you really want to blame someone, look in the mirror.
If it looked like crap and was parked on the side of the road for any extended period, I would complain, too.
The original poster is one of those who beleives they can do anything they want on their property. They are wrong. I live in that neighborhood, too. These are homes prices from 250k to a few million. We take pride in our homes. You do not have a right to even temporarily devalue it by allowing a friend with a junk truck to park in the road.
The city of Florence THANKFULLY has an enforcement unit that investigates violations of city code. The fact is that the side if the road is not a parking spot. If you park a crappy looking vehicle in your driveway, then I dare anyone to say a word (unless it is obviously abandoned and on blocks).
You volunteered to abide by city ordinances and neighborhood covenants when you moved into that neighborhood. If you don't like them, then I invite you to move to the county where there are no such prohibitions.
So if I wanted to visit a friend in that part of town I would have to walk there since my vehicle is older with the paint falling off? Doesn't sound like a nice neighborhood to me. What city codes were violated?
