All of my cars have current tabs and in running condition. This doesn't
seem to matter on property zoned residential without a residence. They

My biggest frustration is the level in which the government controls
property rights. This seems like a relatively non-intrusive activity.
The building I put up will be much more intrusive, but I guess it is ok.
