People get used to having the whole world to themselves when there is no developed property around them. But if they want to keep that, they need to buy the property. Not ask the new owners to keep everything the way it was. There are limits of what anyone can do on there own land. Often to protect the rights of neighbors. If someone points a spotlight at your house, that's an issue. Being able to see someone's lightbulb in the distance, out your window is not. It's great when you can get along with neighbors. So, small accommodations in the name of keeping the peace can be a smart way to go. Our newest neighbors have 4 dogs and a lot of cars and often a lot of other stuff/junk. While they were certainly on the wrong side of multiple ordinances, they are good people. We made it very clear that there dogs in our yard was not working. Especially when our dog couldn't take a crap without being mobbed. Also made sure they knew that we didn't care how many cars they had. We just didn't want a view of a junkyard from our deck. They now have a post and rail fence with wire all the way around, except a few sections of 8ft picket screening the junk from view. And, we are all still friendly. :thumbsup:
