Subject: xxxxx's Anarchy Picnic Sunday beginning 2pm till the Man gets off my back!
The man represses the people. The man wants money. The man is greedy.
**** the man! Anarchy!
I want to bring attention to myself so that everyone knows about the greed of the man.
I have more than one car because they are junky. For example the car I have has a weak oil pump which will cause it to die within a year. It is too expensive to fix but drivable. Therefore I keep a backup car for the inevitable. When the car I drive dies I call a tow truck to junk it and jump into the next car, registering and insuring it at that time. I keep my back ups in my driveway behind my house. These cars are cheap < $200. In fact registering them all will cost more than it did to buy them!
You would think this is within my freedom, as an American. It's my
driveway and this is a free country, right? Wrong! The city has
trespassed all over my property including behind my house to look at my cars. They want to tow them. Their reason? They are not registered.
Registering would not be a problem if it was $10 each. However
registration is $168 (title and registration). This price is high, but it includes taxes for paying for roads etc, so I understand. But to register cars in my driveway, which do not touch any roads is ridiculous. It is all about money, greed, especially against those who do not have money to drive a good one. Furthermore it is my driveway! Why do I pay taxes on the driveway if I can't have my own property on it? I offered the city to cover the cars, but they refuse!
The city has enough resources to be concerned about my cars yet when my lawnmower was stolen by a guy that I hired, and paid with a check which he cashed and so I had his name, the police didn't feel it was worth their time to take finger prints or try to get witnesses. I had the serial number of the lawnmower etc. They simply dismissed it and never even bothered to get back to me about it. After the theft of the lawnmower, when I had my bicycle stolen from my driveway, I didn't even bother with the police. I would understand about the city, the police having better things to do, but not if they have the resources to harass me about my cars.
I want everyone to know about this situation. The city presumably has
these ordinances to make it look 'prettier' (though my cars do not stick out from the front of the house), to increase the land values and make the city more money. Well I want the opposite to happen. I want to reduce the land values and embarrass the city for its greed, and lack of follow though on real law offenders and maybe change the law. I want to post up signs, call the newspaper and let everyone know.
This is where you come in. I want you to make my yard ugly, but with a caveat. Anything that is done must be 1. Within city ordinance, 2. Easily removable.
Some ideas are: writing "Urbana sucks in Christmas lights", gluing
together recyclables and calling it art, posting 20 no trespassing signs, Easter lawn ornaments. Use your imagination, creativity, and come to xxxx W. Hill in Urbana (between Lincoln and Goodwin) this Sunday 10/11.
They might take my cars from my driveway, but it will cost them in
embarrassment. **** the Man! and lets have some fun.
The following is a link to city ordinances. If possible please double
check your idea with the code before you implement it!
