Should be illegal to live in Kalifornika. We should just make it a vacation state with only service workers and farmers... stirthepot

Hate to tell you this Tim but if you live within 3 miles of the omaha city zoning juristiction, you can only wash, wax and change your oil, thats why my garage is on commercial property, they shut all my neighbors down, but not me, they tried, but lost, cost me aome money, I can't paint full paint jobs, only partial, fire dept rules, but everything else is ok, many many police and city inspector calls, and I never made noise after 9pm. Now that my neighborhood is gentrifying, rich guys and gals, I get to tell the city to blank off a lot more. I will also add that NOTHING is grandfathered in like everyone thinks, so if they wanna be a--holes, they can shut you down within 3 miles. There was an auto repair shop less than a mile from here, not on commercial property, built 2 ft to far in city setback, guy fought the city, missed a warning, city leveled the shop and hauled it off in orange city dump trucks. Was a shop for 90 years, and another shop was right across the street, on commercial property, both were block buildings. It is not just California, one bad neighbor that knows the rules, and you are done.

I don't do any major repairs in my shop. A major repair would be something that I don't know how to do. Anything that I know how to do is a minor repair and therefore is legal.

The day is coming when it will not only be illegal to work on your own car on your own property, but they will outlaw running them or possessing them at all! The electric car push is on and they are making billions on pushing their green technology, they have no intention of co existing with classic car owners, we will be nothing more than collateral damage, labeled as gross polluters, and not missed by the upcoming generation which has little to no interest in our way of life or our cars.

Thanks!!! Will use that the next time an inspector shows up here. My shop has block fire walls, slugged and rebared, plus cement board for a ceiling. Fire dept has a fit, can't shut me down. In our town all paint, spray cans, thinners, and paint guns must be in a fireproof cabinet too. I always hand them a copy of zoning, codes, and whats allowed here, and then tell them I want to do a ride around and inspect all the neighbors garages, they get pissed and leave. I hear we are getting a new inspector so I am sure the fun will start again.

It will be a non issue after that fault line finally lets go and the whole idiot fest drifts out to sea and hopefully sinks.

My other thought is that it sounds like something that should take the Supreme Court about 5 minutes to strike down.

Seems they are trying to get rid of commercial operations in residential areas.

Using tools not normally found in a residence;

Conducted on vehicles registered to persons, not currently residing on the lot or parcel;

Conducted outside a fully enclosed garage and resulting in any vehicle being inoperable for a period in excess of twenty-four hours.
(See section 5.2.0.B of the Zoning Code)

Other regulations pertaining to emissions are more akin to stopping things like how people used spent oil to keep driveway dust down.
Common sense and no code problems, seems like to me.

This came about due to the influx of immigrants who have no employable skills other than repairing/salvaging cars. The statute (and others like it) were supported by auto repair and dismantling associations who see the home-based repair/dismantling activities as cutting into their bottom line.

As usual, the ordinary citizen falls victim to the statute.

This is just a teaser, the real issue will be with cars being more sophisticated every year, and the OEM's wanting to keep all repairs proprietary, and in house, DIYI repairs/maintenance/mods will become a thing of the past as insurance companies finally step in, and make it a contingency of your policy, ti protect/reduce their liability exposure, and it will all be done under the banner of "safety". eyes


Reality check, that half the population is smarter then 50% of the people and it's a constantly contested fact.

By what metric? These laws being mentioned are local city zoning laws. I hate these things as much as the next poster here, but it isn't end of days here.

I was at city hall a couple years ago and saw a stack of flyers saying it was AGAINST THE LAW to replace a hot water heater?!?!?!?! You're only allowed to paint and change a light bulb now. Wife and I were lucky enough to live in the "good old days" of the 80's and 90's where we bought properties, fixed them up and rented or flipped. That's IMPOSSIBLE now without breaking the law. It wouldn't be cost effective to refurb a property if you had to pay a contractor for everything. This country has gone CRAZY.

I'm redoing my last (of 20+) rental properties.

Here if it's a gas water heater you need a licensed plumber but if it's electrical you can do it your self.

I agree, except it's not just immigrants.

If most people were responsible, this wouldn't be an issue.

It's the same with replacing appliances. The few spoil it for the rest of us.

If you ever find yourself in a fair fight, your tactics suck.

I live in a great place, I can kill myself all day shooting old school paint through my old school gun. Being in a farming community everyone has buildings to work in, everyone has a decent level of pride and respect for others and I cant think of one single place that looks trashy. No one tries to keep up with the Joneses. Anything ag related is exempt, the county also feels a project car or two keeps a man at home and honest (as long as it reg. is kept up, the county enjoys that also).


Yea, 35 years ago I lived in a city where as soon as I got the pig out of the rear end, poof they were there, code enforcement, just to let me know the 24 hour rule and also told me if I needed a extra day just roll it across the lot.

There are many places like where I live in our great country, the biggest mystery to me is if so many are unhappy, why not MOVE to a better place?
