No Soliciting
My street is odd. One side (mine) is officially in the county, the other side is in the city. Small issues make it evident. When there was a drainage problem in the intersection, city and county employees quite literally stood and bickered about who was responsible to fix it. There are street signs on the corner in my yard and the yard across the street, but they have totally different signs – one is standard green, the other is blue with one of the local flowers printed on it. Across the street, they have city sewer access, we do not. If I want to join the local community center, it will cost me 20-times as much to pay the annual fees.
The list goes on.
Now, one of the good differences about not being in the city limits is that I have more clout when I tell people I do not want solicitors at my door. All I have to do is put a sign up that says ”No Soliciting” and anyone who ignores it and still knocks on my door to try and sell new windows, or magazines, or to try and give me term life insurance quotes, is actually breaking the law. Those who live in the city do not have the same protection.
We’ve been told we can get neighbors to sign a petition is we want to be included within eh city limits. I suppose that has its pros and its cons.
