Some ballbag reported me to the town for parking my trailer

Property Value
If you are bringing mine down I will let you know.
If you don't fix it, I will tell you that I am letting the forces that be know.

Other people have NO RIGHT to drive down the property value of a neighborhood.
Who made them special.

Some people feel that their lawn looks cool with broken down cars and plastic flamingos and crap all over it along with the weeds being 3 ft high.
 
While others think white picket fences and golf-course quality groomed lawns hide the ugly that's living inside.

Offense unintended unless it fits. ;)

they call it a habitat

my neighbour was parking his pickup truck or sometimes his big work rape van on his lawn for about a year. then he decided that he was tired of having mud instead of grass and put some intelocking stones, looks awesome and no more mud + now prolly increased value of house slightly
 
It's your property you should be allowed to do with it as you please unless it's illigal or breaking laws of course.

What one thinks is junk is an other persons gold. This world would be pretty boring if we all had homes that looks the same.

If one of my neighbours has a problem with my property. Then they need to come and chat with me. I'm a reasonable guy, if someone on my street expressed displeasure at my trailer or some other aspect of my property I would take it seriously and assuming the complaint was legitimate (i.e. your trailer looks hell is there something that can be done) I'll take action.
If some ******** calls the city to complain without have the courtesy of chatting with me first then they can **** off.

Your neighbours might not know that you're a reasonable guy.... because there are many completely unreasonable people out there. If we were all reasonable people, these problems wouldn't exist in the first place. You can roll the dice and hope your neighbour is nice, or you can call fire/police/by-law and let them do their jobs. If you approach your neighbour about a problem and he turns out to be a dick, you've just screwed yourself into a corner.

Just because you own a piece of 40'x120' land doesn't mean you get to do what you want with it, and that's why by-laws exist. You wanna do what you want? Move up north to an acreage. When you have neighbours 10' away on both sides of your house, you gotta play nice.

Funny, I had the by-law officer stop by yesterday to have a look at my trailer. It's parked in my driveway, newer trailer not stickered commercial or anything. Anyway had a chat with him and it seems that someone who doesn't even live on my street lodged a large number of complaints that they have to investigate. He told me not to stress it, his findings would go to the zoning office who make the decisions.

I downloaded a copy of the Brampton by-laws and from what I read as long as it's under 5m in length I'm good. I might sticker it up now with 'suck it' and attach a laminated copy of the by-law.

That's the problem.. sure in a perfect would your neighbor would have just come talk to you, but what if you were bat **** crazy, flipped on him and refused to do anything about? Now he can call the authorities but you will know he's the one who called.. and suddenly he's got a horses head in his bed..

Sometimes it's just best to remain anonymous...
 
You assume that everyone speaks English thus leading to a conversation:D
Everyone understands tickets and paying $$$

That was good times apart from the attempted break and enters.

I also +1 sircastic. My (parents') neighbours left me a very rude note about my parking my car partially on our lawn. I'm talking about 11in. onto the grass so my mom can back out of the driveway. So I left them one about their loud little rat-dog that shrieks and barks all day and how the OSPCA would very much be interested in why he's being left alone for 13 hours a day. No more problems.

See this is what someone else was saying, you try to talk to someone nicely and you encounter resistance. This is why someone would just avoid it and call bylaw. If their dog really bothered you then you would have went over and told them nicely.

It would take you about 2 hours to buy/dig/install some nice granite slabs along the side of the driveway to widen it. It will look like a nice little walkway when the car is not parked there.
 
The note reads (verbatim):

"You not should park car on (lawn). Stop today or else police call for you. They also tow car, I ask. Stop park on lawn today."

The dog doesn't really bother me, no. I live here 2-3 months out of the year. My mom however, has spoken to them several times about it but won't call cause we're also dog owners. I don't posses that camaraderie if you will. If me parking my car 11 inches onto my lawn, over 17 feet from their property line bothers them, they can **** themselves. Had they come talk to me in person any of the 5 days a week that I see them, I would have been much more polite about it and left out the OSPCA threat, but I most definitely wouldn't have stopped.

If my lawn concerns you, please feel free to pay for the work to be done. I work 44-72 hours a week and have no time. My mom is almost 50 and lives alone when I'm not there.

People who live in glass houses should not throw stones ... my point is that anyone can have fault found with them (as pointed out by Macs post). Unless there is a serious issue such as the house or property is dilapidated then people should learn to live at let live. Someone might not like my trailer and conversely I might not like the colour they painted their garage door or that they like wild flowers in their garden.

The problem with hiding behind by-law officers is if it's anonymous then the wrong neighbour might get blamed. If someone is going to get upset over a discussion then they are really going to get upset having the city talk to them. All you do by calling the city is escalate the situation without knowing if it required escalation.

Calling the by-law office without having a discussion with the neighbour first is disrespectful and cowardly. Treat people reasonably and if the situation doesn't get resolved appropriately then take further action.
