"a

A
boon
to
storage

Parking
your
RV
is
becoming
more
of
a
problem
-
and
more
expensive
-
in
more
and
more
places.
Antioch
in
California
-
like
many
places
-
has
provision
in
the
city
code
regarding
the
storage
of
RVs,
boats
etc.
in
residential
neighborhoods.
The
code
declares
as
“a
public
nuisance
…
any
trailer,
camper,
boat
or
other
mobile
equipment
stored
for
an
unreasonable
length
of
time
in
any
yard
areas
open
to
public
view
from
the
street
causing
depreciation
of
nearby
property
values.”
The
fine
for
this
can
be
up
to
$1,000
per
day.
The
city
is
currently
issuing
warnings
but
says
it
is
not
yet
citing
people.
According
to
a
website
set
up
by
protestors
the
City
of
Antioch
is
spending
over
$500,000
"this
year
alone
to
make
sure
RVs,
boats
or
garbage
cans
are
not
visible
from
the
street."
According
to
the
local
Contra
Costa
Times:
"In
January,
the
city
sent
out
thousands
of
mailers
warning
residents
that
trailers,
campers
and
boats
parked
in
front
of
homes
violate
Antioch's
municipal
code.
The
flier
is
just
one
step
the
city
is
taking
in
a
campaign
against
neighborhood
blight."
Storage
facilities
in
the
area
are
seeing
their
business
boom
...
and
storage
costs
are
becoming
more
and
more
expensive.
Residents
are
fighting
back
however,
and
council
meetings
now
feature
irate
RV
and
boat
owners.
This
is
just
one
place
where
RV
parking
is
seen
as
an
issue
and
parking
costs
are
rising.

I worked with a group of Boulder City Nevada registered voters to collect 1,974 signatures for one City Council person and 1,978 for the second Council person to have a "RECALL" election, I want to remove them from office for trying to take my right given to me and others under Boulder City Nevada ordinance 10-6.3 to park any legally registered and insured vehicle on the public street directly in front of my residence.

It should not matter where you live, if you can park a car there you should be able to park your rv, they have a lic. and you do pay taxes on them.

Collecting petition signatures impressed the Mayor and 2 other City Council members to vote against 2 activist new council members and blocked any new law that would prohibit the parking on public streets in Boulder City Nevada.
Safety issues wasn't proven, loss of property values wasn't proven, now a recall of these 2 City Council members have begun on March 5th.
Voting with your signatures is lethal to elected officals, get involved, fight for your rights.

Hello, I owned a boat for 10 years, I store my boat in a boat storage to be a good neighbor. My new neighbor got an 30' R.V. and stores it in the driveway. It is a public nuisance and is causing depreciation of property value. What do i do?

Hello out there. I live in Fresno. I just bought an RV and I love it. Wished I had started this stuff earlier. I received 3 Municipal citations costing a total of $1,500.00 from the city of Fresno. I parked the RV in my driveway as I was constructing a place on the side of my house for my RV. The city refused to wait while I completed it. TOO BAD, they said and left me with a bill. Now I want to fight it. Does anyone know about these things? What do your municipalities have say about this?
