you pay for my house? my car? my bills? no? then shut up, I do whatever I want with my property that I paid for. Is not your business what I do here, if you think that lowers 'your property value' that's your problem not mine, pay me then for not lowering yours, entitled kid, or do stuff on your own backyard to increase it. Seriously the amount of power we have given others over our private property is maddening. HOAs and ordinances should be limited to common areas only. Private property is private, period.
