Some of these master-planned communities like Ladera Ranch out here in OC are so tight, there's room for one car in front of each house (houses that peaked over $700K a few years back). <br /><br />File this under, "having solved all other problems, the city..."

Even fewer people would complain about a church meeting at someone's home, if the church is not being disruptive. I have a few friends who started churches in their homes and they never had neighbors complain. <br /><br />But, when a homeowner sponsors *any* event that disrupts the neighborhood, that's a problem. In my view, a Sunday morning Sunrise service with loud singing, clapping, or praising is just as annoying as the neighbor kids throwing a kegger on a Saturday night when their parents are out of town. <br /><br />Do your Bible Studies get wild Brad?

(The comment stream on the news article is absolutely hilarious.)<br /><br />Even a small gathering (say 20 people) on a Sunday morning can be disruptive to a community. I suspect that Attorney Broyles' account of the "interrogation" isn't a true transcription of the conversation: <br /><I>"The county asked, 'Do you have a regular meeting in your home?' She said, 'Yes.' 'Do you say amen?' 'Yes.' 'Do you pray?' 'Yes.' 'Do you say praise the Lord?' 'Yes.'" </I>Reading between the lines, it looks like they were asking the couple: Do you have music, cheers, and other activities that may disrupt your neighbors.<br /><br />My neighbor's 1st amendment right to speech and religion end at my property boundary. I don't want to be woken up by a worship service in the house next door. This is why we have zoning regulations. The municipality charges fees for the permit so that a proper impact assessment may be made. <br /><br />I agree with Nick... In a healthy neighborhood, you should be able to communicate the concern to your neighbor and negotiate a mutually satisfying compromise. "Golly Brad, as much as I like Bringing in the Sheaves, your service is really disruptive to my family. Can you move " <br /><br />Of course, it's also been my experience that some true believers refuse to compromise. Just on the basis of the stuff in that article, I suspect that these folks are of that camp. But maybe not.Coreyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00119612449610307692noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-37421406.post-17313638774087121832009-06-01T10:08:39.556-04:002009-06-01T10:08:39.556-04:00i think it boiled down to parking issues and neigh...i think it boiled down to parking issues and neighbors who choose a bad route to remedy the situation.
