Hey could be worse. Just think if you were living in Australia. You can't take a dump their with out the government making you check in first.
I SECOND THAT !
If no one's life, well being, are at risk. Why do I care what the guy next door is doing.
I can only imagine what some of mine may think if they knew I had a "Head, Dead fetus" at home doing research, work etc....
Personally, I like the USA rights to protecting your propert with your arms, In this (Canada) country, wer can't own long guns, pistols for personal protection. (Some can on account of Grandfather clock laws)
In the end, I just think we need to be civil polite and respectful to all but don't tell me what I can drive, which God to pray to or have the right to believe in No God.

The way some people vote, or don't is why it's getting worse. There used to be a race track, 1/4, dirt 1/2 mile....then they zoned for housing tracts right up to industrial zones...
There used to be a skate park, Mike McGill skate park near by the track....same thing.now there is a skate park at almost every park...half full of unsavory youth and drugs because there is no memebership, no screening, no filter...and we go from private to public and now we all pay for the hang outs and lawsuits. Developers payoffs..
All the hotels now.. city counsel are money hungry. If crowding the shoreline with hotels brings more tax dollars and permit fees in the millions... they're doing it. If putting parks/skate parks reels in state/gov funding...they do it..and still bill the tax payer for upkeep...as they burden the local tax payer with no parking, pay parking, crowded streets and a massive influx of people who dont belong here and are fish out of water here.
If people keep voting for things that dont make sense or cause future problems...you can expect more city/county code enforcers to come knockin..

Exactly. What gets me is people leave California to get away from the mess then vote the same old crap back in here , and not just California but were getting a lot of Seattle people over here and same thing.

Not bragging but my house is immaculate and I take a lot of pride and spend money in the landscaping. My driveway is only long enough for one car. The garage holds the old car, so any work I can do on my cars is done outside in the driveway.
Now I admit I have two new vehicles but last year I did some work on the old truck and had it on jack stands for a few days
In younger days, I pulled motors/trans on the street in front of the garage
I never made noise to early or to late in the day....Back then money was tight, the cars were old and I fixed them
Not once in 45 years has anyone ever complained.
If you don't abuse or take advantage whats the problem
I wish some of you car guys were my neighbours

California passes a law banning older semis from entering state and then wonders why there is not enough trucks/drivers to unload containers from ports. I overheard some truck drivers talking that they were hiring massive amounts of truck drivers from Mexico to solve problem. Go figure!

At one time those trucks from south of the border were not affected by the environmental requirements in Ca. They even showed up in the construction industry.
A very successful Freightliner dealer on my tool route had a hugely successful Glider program but sorry, those trucks weren't allowed into Cali. The remanned 60 series Detroit's were solid powerplants but they all were pre Def. They did build some CNG trucks though and a lot of custom trucks for haulers here in Iowa. What a fun shop to visit. They could put one out in a day and a half and had at least a dozen going at all times.

The Char-n-Peel is the Old Timey method to prep a squirrel for authentic Thai Squirrel salad.
Just another reason not to live in CA. That and the fact that everything is "known to cause cancer" there.
Depends where in Aus mate, there are some areas that are f%$ked beyond control.
Might want research that Law. California cannot ban trucks hauling goods from other states. Interstate Commerce Law, state law cannot supersede federal law. What they did is restrict truck older than 5 years from operating under a California license. A lot of independent truckers with older rigs went to Nevada, Oregon, and Arizona and opened an LLC in that state. Under the Federal Interstate Commerce law they can freely operate in California. Doing business under that states laws. All they need is a PO Box.
Wow. I had no idea this was even a thing.

Thank you for the enlightenment. Wish I knew about this when I had the chance to pick up a nice 1965 Freightliner, although I was cautioned that, "It'll shake all of yer' fillings out!"
