Question:

How do you feel when neighbors gang up on you to clean up your yard by
getting the local gov't to give you a ultimatum? I lived in a house
with others. One of them had some ugly car parts or something like
that on the driveway. We got a nasty note threatening a summons or the
like if they weren't put out of sight. Where I live now, my neighbors
were given a stern warning to water their lawns. I was just wondering
what you and Bill Gunshannon thought things like this.

Also, how do you (and Bill) feel about eminent domain?

Just curious.
