My neighbor loves me.....NOT

Nope, they live in Victoria,southwest of the Cities, but I'm finding that most of the new subvisions in that area have the same restrictions. I think it's rotten that we have to park our trailer at some park, unhook the truck and then go visit the grandkids.

My of my, I live very close to Victoria. Yep, it's farm country gentrifying very fast into suburbia. Parts of it do front on Lake Minnetonka. I like my little town of 1,500 fully developed. Everyone on our stretch of road has woods with little or no mowed grass. The only weeds I control are burdock, sticky seed weeds and buckthorn--all of which I personally hate. The rest I let grow wild. I back up to a marsh to goes for quite a ways. No one complains about the Airstream but there is 200 feet of forest between it and the road so you can't see it in the summertime anyway. There have been a lot of changes in my town in 25 years--mostly houses reaching into the stratosphere pricing of multi-million dollars and older homes being torn down and rebuilt with behomeths. Maybe there will come a day the moneyed people may not like my little setting. They are getting closer every year. The house four away across the street on the lake just sold for $2,300,000! But mostly my close neighbors right now are an independent breed and not a status breed.
