    Kids playing outside and people working on their car lowers the property value for the neighborhood. So many of these shitty aspects of suburban life are rooted in NIMBY-types who have a hatred of anything that would dare threaten the value of their property.

      More to the point, fucked-up people believe that it’s true.

        I never understood this or HOAs banning trucks from parking in driveways. These aren’t permanent fixtures of a home so how can it lower the value of a property?
