This would allow aging parents to live with their children and not in the same dwelling. I suspect this need will become more common in the near future.Oh, and selling of imaginary bison, that should be allowed too.

I remember seeing this all the time when growing up in Florida--people trying to unload their surfeit of citrus and mangoes from a table in their front yard. I would love to unburden my Decatur neighbors of their bumper crops. Has anyone tried this and been cited for it?

As long as people are selling what they are growing/making (not a 40 oz.. out of a cooler and ciggies) what could be the harm? How much demand and noise could really be created by people out for fresh squash on a Saturday morning? Sounds like a fun & enlightened idea.
