Unless he’s doing it for attention one would think he would have had the storage building ready and the tank delivered there. It’s not doing the restoration any favors sitting outside and having kids climb on it. However if some wear tear is worth it to him for the attention, the kids getting to climb on it, or…
The streets would either be deeded to the city or the HOA unless there is some weird limited common element set up. But the guy is supposedly a lawyer so I am sure he’s found an angle whatever it is.
“and an excellent Mustang-proof observation post for Cars and Coffee.”
I clearly know how fast rails can be replaced under ideal circumstances. However repair time and ideal circumstances is not what I discussed. I discussed system resiliency in a disaster. Roads have more redundancy and can be made passable in most cases without much work. Automobiles, at least of the light truck…
And there’s a way and time to do that. This isn’t either.
Since my previous reply went into greyshadowyobscurity I’ll try again, that piece like many others is something akin to what I expect of a site such as streetsblog where every possible thing is considered an ill of the private passenger automobile to be cured by more government run transit.
Long gasoline lines are…

This site is like a tame version of a new urbanist website using every excuse possible against the private passenger automobile. The attitude is in the sub-headline. Why is it simply assumed that government operated transit would be functioning if it were there? Additionally PR tends to use price controls so I assume…
We have yet more anti-motoring opinion on this supposedly car enthusiast website.
Ok, so?
Think in terms of power and centrally managing scarce resources instead of practical concerns and it makes sense. The idea is to slowly push us to where we no longer have personal autonomy to go where we want when we want or at the very least have the ability to deny people the energy or access required when desired.…
Since the 1980s there has been a war on old cars. The old car hobby won a series of victories in the 1990s and that status quo has held until recently much like the Korea war ceasefire. Now those political forces are apparently attempting a new offensive with their bans of combustion engines. Do not trust these people…
“and keep them within the rules”
Except control freaks have endless creative interpretations of both HOA rules and local laws. The way to avoid that with an HOA is be a board member. With a city other than getting elected or knowing the right people I don’t have any ideas.
You didn’t read the conditions. People tear down and build new all the time. Yes I neglected to write that you could buy a house where someone else did the hard part. Homes on old large suburban lots get torn down and five or more houses are built on it. Single homes are torn down and new built in their place…
If you want to be HOA free in the Chicago area you’re going to be buying a place at least two decades old in most cases. Now that’s an overwhelming majority of the housing from near cook county in but if you don’t want old the only way around it is to buy a vacant lot or tear down an existing house.
You might want to read the thread when responding a month later. It is not my contention that the ACA caused everything. It is my contention that the ACA is the most recent step in a century plus long chain of interventions to find ways to pay high prices and/or move them higher.
I am the one arguing that the rent…
It’s just a light pole they put a signal arm on because it’s already there. Sometimes there are two poles next to each other sometimes they put it on the light pole.
Steel. Let’s check street view and see:
Newer being the 1960s?
