> residents are not allowed to work on cars in their homes except fluid changes, with fines if you are found to have professional tools on the premises.
When I see ordinances like this I see a 1A violation waiting to happen. I assume the council has worded it in a way that doesn't draw scrutiny or the affected don't have the resources to have it taken to court.
One of the places I lived added an ordinance banning work trucks. My neighbor works out of his truck and would get fined and towed continuously. He threatened to sue and I think the compromise they reached was he had to remove the company vinyl signs. I believe he changed it to magnet stickers that he installs and removes daily.
And it was basically the same thing; working class apartments slowly gentrified and all sorts of new rules were put in place.
