why can't people mind their own business

Because it's easier to tell others what they should do than do something themselves. That's what I like about where I live - I mind my own business and they mind theirs. I always figure that if they want my opinion, they'll ask for it.Originally Posted by submarinepainter
People may laugh at me, but that's ok. I laugh all the way to the bank.

Zoning laws are for the benefit of everyone. If someone is out of compliance the authorities are obliged to deal with the issue. Some rules are silly and some are common sense when people live in close proximity to each other. The silly ones do not negate the value of common sense regulations.
If we scrap out of our homes in residential areas, it is not unreasonable for us to keep our treasures out of sight. I pull my stuff out onto the driveway while working on it and put it back in the garage when I am done. A neighbor complaining isn't always a sign of them being a busybody. It may be a sign that we are slobs.
Minding you own business is a wonderful concept but if your neighbor builds an eyesore of some sort you certainly have the right to object. To take an extreme example; I do not want an oil well drilled in my neighbor's back yard. I wouldn't want a stamping plant next door either. So a scrapper's stash may not pass as lawn art to those in the neighborhood.

I agree with mrbillbus. If i have to comply with local ordinances so do my neighbors. It pretty much sounds like you know what you are doing wrong by storing all that scrap outside and having to put up a privacy fence to try to hide it. If you store it out of sight in a garage or outbuilding or storage unit it would be better. Processing/storing escrap at a residence in gonna throw up red flags.

What I do in my backyard is no one elses business! If you have up fencing why sholud someone care? Don't make noise early or late, keep stuff to a minimum and others should not care! This could be another scrapper instead of a neighbor who turned you in... I know my neighbors and they know what I do, they have given me stuff in the past.

app1arently you didnt read all the posts.
1. im in the woods. (rural)
2. 300 ft of privacy fence
3 if you want a pit bull there are aeveral dozen running loose here
4. if you want drugs just go to the street in front of my house and yell real loud what you want how much and what you are willing to pay. Stand back with in 3 minuits there will be at least 5 dealers with any thing you want clinbing over each other to handle it.
nothing, nothing is visable to passers by my scrap yard starts 75feet from the road.
I impound any thing remotely hasardus including un broken crts and low grade boards.
nothing, bothing from my yard ends up on public or private land including the land fill. just sayin.

any way falce alarm, the subpoena was to testify at the trial of a local politician who missapropiated (stole) funds from the local fine arts org who I fix kilns for now and then no charge. aparently some one said they payed for a kiln rebuild I did free.
WHEW. It just strikes me wrong that I should stress over trying to make an honest living, and applying good comon sence and respect for others in the area while doing it.
