MJ and all, I own 8 acres in Pa. and I can get away with pretty much anything.
My neighbor on the other hand, owns a nursery and has about 75 acres.
He made some waves with the township and they found some
obscure law about abandoned cars and fined him
for having two trucks in an area where no one sees.
My point is, even though we have buffers, all it takes is one a$$hole to make a complaint, even with no homeowners association.
I like to let my trees and fence rows grow in so no one can see me
and so I don't have to look at people,
I am just waiting for the people in the developments to complain
that my property is an eyesore and draws rodents and other unwanted
animals. It is like the people that move to the busiest corner in my township,
then complain about the traffic, not realizing that they are contributing to the problem.
