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)

I agree with most of what people have written about not wanting to be told what to do but (yes, here it comes) (IMG:style_emoticons/default/laugh.gif) things can get out of hand.

I wish people would use their garages for their damn cars. My neighbor to the right has his garaged filled with a boat, motorcycles and a bunch of junk and always 3 or 4 cars on the street. My neighbor accross the street has his garage packed to the gills with junk. It's so bad that they can't even walk through their garage. And they always have 3 cars parked out front. For a few years he had an ugly boat parked in the driveway and 3 rusting ATVs on the side of the house. My neighbor to the left converted half of his garage into storage so with two driving teenagers and his extra car he has four cars parked out front. It really would be a lot nicer if everybody used their garage for it's intended purpose and we had half the number of cars out on the street.
