<title>Cause this is naked twister night, and no ones gonna save you since parking is too tight (Trees And Things)</title>
<link>http://www.treesandthings.com/story/2007/12/8/205039/205</link>
<description>What do you do when you have bad neighbors? Not the kind that play loud music, dump garbage on your lawn, or move the property line. Residents of one neighborhood in Duncanville, Texas claim they have quite a unique problem: &lt;a href="http://www.cnn.com/2007/US/12/07/naked.twister.ap/index.html">a local man regularly runs a swingers club out of his house&lt;/a>. </description>

<title>slavdude: Zoning Laws?</title>
<link>http://www.treesandthings.com/story/2007/12/8/205039/205#19</link>
<description>Doesn't Texas have zoning laws that would go into effect if a person wanted to run a business out of his or her home (I'm assuming that club members pay a fee to patronize The Cherry Pit)?</description>

<description>Back when I had a girlfriend in Texas, I flew out one week from California to visit her. &#160;While I was in Dallas, I stopped by a store there to get her a present. &#160;It was a thin pink sleeve of plastic with a little motor inside, hooked up to nothi</description>

<description>&lt;i>I thought you were suggesting that the, um, adult nature of the parties would have to be disclosed.&lt;/i>&lt;p>&#10;To your "What, exactly, would you be required to disclose?

<description>&lt;i>Is that really how California courts work? If someone sues you you must prove you didn't know something rather than the plaintiff proving that you did?&lt;/i>&lt;p>&#10;It's a matter of shifting burdens. The plaintiff merely has to establish that the "party" prob</description>

<description>&lt;i>So all you have to tell them is that a lot of cars park on the street on weekends. You wouldn't have to say why.&lt;/i>&lt;p>&#10;But the minute they found out what was going on, you'd have a hard time proving that you didn't know.

<description>Agree.&lt;p>&#10;&lt;i>The problem, according to neighbors is that the residence (modified with such amenities as a 'group sex room') attracts so many people to these parties that parking, blocked roads and traffic are becoming a major problem. They argue this could</description>
