I also pay taxes in Leland, and I have one of these dumps next door to my home. I'm tired at looking at the rotting, molding junk stacked up in their yard. They don't even bother to cover the clothes when it rains - hate to be the baby that ends up wearing those nasty bloomers.

"As they see fit..." ? So, they can sell drugs from their house? Prostitution? Why have zoning for residential and commercial if anyone can open up a business in their home?

Seriously, there's nothing wrong with yard sales, but the new rule isn't about the occasional weekend yard sale - it's about people who leave their junk out in the yard all day and night.

And, FYI, operating a business from a residence is illegal, unless you have a permit and pay taxes on receipts collected.
