Why bash California. Many cities in many other states have similar regs. A good reason to have regs like this: I live on a court and I park my MH BEHIND a fence even with my front edge of my house. A neighbor down the street purchased a large profile 5er. We talk about RVing, so I am not bashing him. After a couple of trips, since our street is steep, he parked his rig on the cross street below ours for several days. He parked about 30' from the intersection. As I was about to enter the intersection, an unseen car emerged from being shielded by his rig. Had I not been alert, we would have collided. I talked to the owner and asked that he park further back so cars emerging from our street can do so safely. I also told him that it was illegal to park any vehicle on a city street for more than 72 hours. (State law) I suggested that should someone complain, he could receive a citation. Now, I did NOT complain to anybody, but a couple of days later I saw a citation hanging on his rig. Somebody complained. He did move his rig back when I asked him to so there was no problem from me. My point is that RV's do tend to destroy sight distance, and often times owners don't seem to be aware of the fact that the street belongs to the public, not the home that they are parking in front of. If you want to buy a large rig, make sure you check your local regs first. The man made allowances and parks his rig on his property and everyone is happy!
