County says I have too many cars. HELP!, What can I do to get around this? Options

[bondo]

I got a letter saying that I have too many cars visible from the street. not parked on the street, just VISIBLE. In my own fricken DRIVEWAY! They say the limit is 2 per residence.. that's right, TWO. This is a three bedroom house, with enough driveway space to park 7 cars. It's an unincorporated part of the San Luis Obispo County called Los Osos. It's somewhat rural with no sidewalks and not even all the streets are paved. Somehow having cars in my driveway is a blight to the neighborhood? Come on. My first instinct is to build a giant sign that says "The county says I can only have two vehicles visible from the street, so I built this sign to hide them" and then put the cars behind it. Then when they complain about the sign I can claim freedom of speech. My dad owns the house (we pay rent), so there's no chance of getting evicted. Any suggestions how I can fight this? (the letter was actually sent to my dad) I moved here specifically to avoid this sort of ordinance that cities typically have.. who knew the county would come after me?

I'm pissed! (IMG:style_emoticons/default/headbang.gif)

The US isn't going down the shitter and it isn't all the liberals fault or pansy ass California.

Firstly, I would find out exactly what the rules are and then have a friendly conversation with the county people and find out what their reaction would be to you putting up a fence.

You want to appear workable and amicable. If some of your cars are temporary, you could tell them that and ask them how they would like you to handle it, given the situation. Maybe you could get a temporary permit. Getting in a frenzy about it is really only going to make them dislike you more which means they will make your life harder.

Enough of this cold dead hands shit already. We aren't living in the wild west anymore - if you want gunfights over 914s, you probably need to move to Iraq.
