Cohousing-L Mailing List: Re: Advice re an Owners Excessive Recycling Acquisitions

[Fran Bowman (franbowman2013]

In our town of Davis CA, we have a code/definition of "visual blight". Your
town may have one, too. Here is a link to the definition, which is pretty
thorough:
https://www.cityofdavis.org/city-hall/city-manager-s-office/rental-resources-program/neighbor-resources/what-constitutes-a-visual-blight#:~:text=Any%20unreasonable%2C%20non%2Dpermitted%20or,senses%2C%20or%20reduces%20the%20aesthetic
Hope this is helpful!
