I web browsed to Fox News San Diego, and they report the
 County's side. They say up to 25 people gather, and they park
 all over and block other's access. They say the whole issue is

 Which can be solved easily enough, spread out the parking. Don't
 every park on the same block and take up all the parking. If
 that is really what it is, it will show immediately.

 RC> What the story elaborates on below is very scary if it can

 RC> the city getting him on some ordinance violation.

 RC> If the Pastor and his friends were getting in the faces of
 RC> the neighbors or otherwise disturbing the peace, I could
 RC> see the city getting him.

 RC> But if all they were doing were getting together behind
 RC> closed doors to share a meal and Bible Studies and Prayers,
 RC> who is getting harmed, providing such gatherings arent
 RC> disturbing or inconveniencing the neighbors?

 RC> I have seen people throw pool parties that caused more
 RC> disruption.

 RC> Good grief, read on..

 RC> Hello All!

 RC> Couple Ordered to Stop Holding Bible Study at Home Without
