[FWDLK] Local Parish Ordinances Against Antique Cars On Ones Property

[Rog & Jan van Hoy <vanhilla@xxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Obviously this is a touchy subject.  Let me tell you what
some car collectors in Sacramento, CA did some years ago
when that capital city started enforcing zoning--  they went
together and bought ten acres way out in the country for
their parts cars, built a barn for their long-range
projects, put up fences and trees.

Fast forward twenty years, when the city grew out to
surround them.  Not only did they make a profit on the cars
they no longer wanted [such as a clean '56 Belv 4HT with
power everything] but they made a huge profit on the land
for development.  Took some of the profit, bought land
farther out, started over.

Now some may say they're just ordinary folks who can't
afford to buy land.  Well, if you go in with enough people
the price per person goes way down.  Shoot, maybe a whole
bunch of us ought to go in on a spread in the southwest,
where you can buy ten acres for $10K.  You don't need water,
sewer or electricity, just open land without restrictions.
