Its getting ridiculous. There seems to be a law, bylaw or rule for just about everything.

Remember when it was every little snot nosed kid's right to go out and set up a lemonade stand in their driveway and neighbors would stop by and patronize their stand? Before long, it will be illegal for kids to shovel walk ways or mow lawns, or clean windows, without having some sort of license or permit.

If someone has an event near my home and I choose to sell my driveway or lawn for parking or my kids sell lemonade or cookies or whatnot, from my property then the city can go fuck themselves.

Seriously, where does it end?
