Neighbors Tolerate Trailer

Maybe you have seen the 40-foot trailer sitting on an empty lot at 224 Blanca Ave. It has been called an eyesore, but the neighbors don’t seem to mind.

Property owner Brian Marshall plans to build a home on the lot, and the construction trailer is there waiting for work to begin. The original construction plans were rejected by the city in May, and as of early this week, no revised plans have been submitted.

Meanwhile, the ugly trailer takes up residence among million-dollar homes, and no one has been willing to talk directly to Marshall:

Homeowners would not comment on the record, for fear of starting a feud…

But some nearby neighbors whine behind his back:

Neighbors have complained to City Council members and code enforcers about the trailer…

Instead of anonymously complaining to the government and your friends, why don’t you call him directly, introduce yourself, and ask him to move the trailer?

Legally, the trailer can stay there for up to 8 more months. We hope Mr. Marshall would join in the neighborhood community spirit early, and remove the trailer until he’s actually ready to build. But anonymous complaints are not likely to get much accomplished.
