Since June, I have been living under the suffocating cloud of a government-mandated Automobile Reduction Order. After telling me I was breaking an ordinance, my city gave me six weeks to ensure that all 12 of my cars become functional and registered. While this might sound like an easy job, it hasn’t been, because my cars are crap-cans. Here’s where I stand with just two weeks until my July 31 deadline.
Back in June, someone complained to the city of Troy, Michigan, saying they didn’t like how my yard of broken cars looked. The city responded by visiting my property, apparently agreeing with the complainer, and then sending me the letter below, notifying me that I had only two weeks to bring my cars into compliance with the “No person shall permit the accumulation of one or more inoperable vehicles outside of a completely enclosed building for a period of more than fourteen days” ordinance. I called the city inspector, who graciously gave me an extension to July 31.
