How would a broken-down car on a driveway ruin everyone else's life?
Even so, today's trash car that does not look posh can be a tomorrow's restored historical car that does.

I've lived off-grid in the desert, and I've seen certain people become 'garbage collectors' - a few cars turns into 20+, with all the associated junk. In the desert, nobody really cares - but you'd be crazy to move in next to one of those junk yards.
It's not going to ruin anyone's life, but it's definitely not nice. It depends on the community and circumstances I suppose.
People have limits. While some people push those limits too far (in either direction), there are times when those limits are realistic.
