It's None of Their Damn Business

Garage sales are a quintessential aspect of American life.  Individuals gather up their accumulated schat, which has lost its allure, and tag it with prices ranging from a nickel to a dime to a quarter, or more.  Weekends are usually good for a dozen or more in various neighborhoods around the country, others seem to be perpetual, and can be driven by time and time again.  Which evidently seems to be a problem, because unbeknownest to me, at least here in West Michigan, there are ordinances against having too many garage sales.  What bullshit.

“City’s fine for garage sales wipes out season’s profits"

Stay out of my garage.

  1. There are suburbs of Chicago which consider themselves upscale and allow only one sale per year, with permit aforethought. Inside city limits I knew people who ran what amounted to unlicensed street stores, holding a yard sale every weekend. In the first case, that’s what you get for living there, in the second case there comes a point where ordinance enforcement is in order.
