and lost. He had lived by the letter of the law.

Bravo! I hope someone gave him a medal.

o 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
urselves, and take care to be as compliant as necessary to respect others.

I think it's pretty spiteful to order someone who's been
there long before any Mcmansions were built, as to what
color they are "allowed" to paint their house. What gall!
