How can you tell the vehicles are “junked”? I don’t see broken windows, missing parts, flat tires.
COVID has taken lives, jobs and homes. What if they can no longer afford to use them or if the owners can’t drive them right now?
They are not an eye sore. Prove the neighborhood’s property value or morale is lower. And a mowed yard helps prevent snakes and rodents.
As far as it being my business, the city ordinances are available for anyone to view. The reason this app exists is to help report possible violations. So, it’s everyone’s business.
@resident- the ordinance dealing with junked vehicles was voted on by the city (and most all other municipalities) because it has already been proven to lower values and harbor rodents. People generally don’t want to buy property where junked vehicles are an issue; therefore, lowering value. That’s goes for residential or commercial. The code of ordinances is in place to maintain neighborhoods. Similar to HOA’s. We don’t all have to agree with them but we do have to abide by them. Me included.
How do I know they are junked, I don’t. I’m letting the city know about a possible issue and then letting the inspectors make that determination. If they can’t afford to remove the vehicles or need other assistance, the city has programs that may be able to help.
I appreciate that you don’t see junked cars as an eyesore but others do. That part is opinion. I cannot argue the opinion part of this ordinance with you. An interesting example is the definition of a weed which basically says any unwanted plant is a weed. A weed to one person is not to another.
Did you knock on their door and ask them to explain to you what the purpose of the cars they own being stored in their yard were all about, and let them know you do not approve of said cars?
If you're driving east on Canal, you should be paying attention to that traffic signal in front of you, not looking for things to complain about about. That's what the heights is all about.

@spencerc6- I don’t get it. Why the heights?
