Bravo! I hope someone gave him a medal.

Do you honestly find that to be fair to the rest of the homeowners? Why
didn't
the guy, or any number of people move to the country where they can do
whatever
they want? I never did understand why people do such spiteful things. I
complain, but I've never once did anything to bother my neighbors. We are to
ourselves, and take care to be as compliant as necessary to respect others.

In my particular case, I've asked this moron to please move the trailer for a
few years now. I asked him very nicely. I do nothing to get his hackles
up.
He's a nutcase. I treat him as such. I'd still never do something to spite
him.


You missed the gist of the post. This particular guy was the farmer who
lived in the country, who, after the developments moved in, was told he
had to abide by their rules (even though he lived there for 60+ years).
so he followed their rules and they didn't like it.
