This is just stupid. If I lived in a house since 1972 and it mine, nobody better tell me what I can do inside my house or try to fined me. Read the story below:
SAN DIEGO -- A 70-year-old Tierrasanta woman was fined for allegedly using her garage space as living space.
Marilyn Weber said she usually spends four or five hours a day in her garage space at Villa Portinifino knitting and watching TV. Neighborhood children and friends said they often swing by for treats and coffee.
Recently, the homeowners association at Villa Portofino fined Weber $50 because she was using the area as living space. For every day she goes without paying the fine, they add on an additional $2.
Some of Weber's neighbors say they appreciate that she has opened her garage as a neighborhood gathering place. They believe the homeowners association is making a mistake by going after her on this issue.
"She doesn't have a bed or running water," said Jonathon Heller, a neighbor who says Weber is like a grandmother to his son. "You live in so many places where you don't know your neighbors. I know all my neighbors because of Marilyn, because they migrate here."
Weber, who has lived at the residence since 1972, said she plans to fight the fine, which has grown to more than $120.
Phone calls and emails from Fox 5 to the Villa Portifino Homeowners Association board members were not returned over the week.
