This post http://forums.iboats.com/showthread.php?t=525327&page=6 by Erikgreen along with some recent events in my area have me a bit concerned. One thing you should know about me is that I am 24 years old, and go to college 5 miles down the road, so i still live with the parents. Because of this I have limited knowledge of what goes into owning a house/residential property. My girlfriend of 5+ years lives in a relatively new development 20 minutes away in Warners, NY. Her Father told me years ago that no one is allowed to have a boat in the driveway/yard in the development(garage is ok if it is shut, and has no windows). So I get my first boat this Summer(1964 14' Starcraft). August we got back around 7pm after a long day on Skaneateles lake. We sit for dinner, and 45 minutes later we have a Trooper and multiple neighbors there to say that I'm not allowed to have those "pieces of crap" in the driveway. I had no idea that my orange 2007 Dodge Caliber, and my restored SC looked like crap. I told the Trooper my last name, and he knew my Mom(who works for County emergency system) so no tickets/fines for me or my gf's dad. Mind you this was still early in the night, around 8pm, and the rig was only in the driveway for 45mins-1 hour. To be honest I don't think the neighbors like me. They say my headlights are too bright, and wake them and the children at all hours of the night. I also used to have 15' sub woofers, and 1500 watt amp in my old car when we first started dating, and needless to say they did not enjoy me leaving at 2am. I DON'T DO THIS ANYMORE THOUGH!! I like to think I've grown out of that stage lol.
Well I have lived for 23 years at the same house. There used to be less than 100 houses within 2 miles. People would ride horses past our house to get to the woods that are now gone. Gone because the same developer as my gf's development has built houses there. Other developers have built over 2,000 houses nearby. I actually don't mind this too much, for some reason I guess I like more people around?.?. Anyways there has been rumor that there may be a movement to get a law or ordinance(what ever it'll be called) passed where the surrounding neighborhoods(including my road) wouldn't be able to have boats, snowmobiles, atvs, etc. in there yards. We have 2 boats(mine and Dad's). Mine fits in the garage, but Dad's is too big for it. Now I don't know if this will ever be law in our area, but I do know one thing; My Grandfather had built this house in the early 50's, we are one of the original families, and when I inherit this house there will be my Dad's Stamas yacht, my first boat, and any future vessel I may get(Islander lol).
The second paragraph is more of a rant i guess, but if anyone has an opinion to share especially on the first paragraph please feel free.
