Not if you live in one. But I live in a house and I'd rather not have to look at RV's up and down the street. I keep mine on the side yard.

Yes there is. Drive thru a "trailer park" and see what is there

I did. We do have few trailer parks in East Bay.
Nice unit $200,000. How much is your house worth?
The waiting list for spot take 2-3 years depend on luck.
But that is not what I had in mind.
We should not profile on this forum IMHO

Hello All, This is my first time posting here and hopefully someone can help. My city is trying to pass an ordinance that will prohibit RV owners from parking their motorhomes, trailers, boats etc. in their own driveways. This is absolutely ridiculous. It is my property and i should be able to park my motorhome, boat, waverunner trailer as i see fit. Taking into consideration they are all working and used regularly. Does anybody have any legal information to stop this ordinance from passing? Thank you.

I'm a motorhome owner and my city has the same ordinance and I support it. Trailers and RV's in the front of homes make the neighborhood look like a trailer park.

Some of these rules prevent clutter and eye sores. You say it is your property but another might feel that they should not be subjected to a community with MH, TT, utility trailers and a non functioning 69 van as a disturbance to their pretty community.

I have that across the street. This is a really nice community on a golf course. The house across the street? A rental. The ONLY rental I'm aware of in the entire community.

Not that ALL renters are pigs, or ALL homeowners are angels, but I'll just be glad when he's gone in a year.

I think you would be happy in the HOA in Danville, CA.
My father's friend live there and I go there to help them with house repairs.
One time I had to use the garage, so owner had to park his car in front of his house (he has about 100' of curbside).
Within 1 hr he's got a ticket from security guard as HOA rules are not allowing parking owners car on the street, nor on the driveway.
In case you have house repair done, you need to go to office for permit to PARK YOUR OWN CAR ON YOUR OWN DRIVEWAY for few hours.
Sure the streets looks nice, but watch out for those crazy retirees zooming via stop signs in their golf carts.
One of them could be HOA president.

Escapees has helped members with legal fights of this type. Might check them out.

There are many cities and HOA with strict to looser rules. Some are good and some are not. It depends on who you are. Some of these rules prevent clutter and eye sores. You say it is your property but another might feel that they should not be subjected to a community with MH, TT, utility trailers and a non functioning 69 van as a disturbance to their pretty community.

Sounds like your community needs to speak out and see how the rest feel.

I support your cause. That is except when you have a mess across the street from your house like I do. Their 5th wheel trailer takes up their entire driveway so they all park in the front of the property in the street. Between the two families living there and their friends cars and pickup trucks an emergency vehicle cannot get by. Then 3 doors up those folks have 6 cars in their yard that don't run and 4-5 cars and pickups parked out front on the street. Emergency crews and equipment don't have a chance of getting by.
It's these kinds of things that get the neighbors up in arms and causes these Mickey Mouse Ordinances to be passed and forced down the citizens throats. If you can park all your stuff off the street I am all for you to continue to do so.

Unless you're being sarcastic, your post seems to contradict itself.
