it is worth a great deal of money to me to not live next door to the guy with year round Christmas lights
How about banning Christmas lights. They are all junk made in China anyway, use energy and cause global warming. Most important of all, they are very garish looking.
It seems like Mira Mesa and Clairemont have such light on houses year round.
I would put up with clothe lines — for the environment. At least those are “green.”
