When you live in a quarter million dollar house, property values matter. The
homes in my development range 200 to 400 thousand dollars. That's a lot of
money for a Texas sub-division. It matters to me, so I manage to not have
Tarzan vines and a big huge mess out front. That back is another story. It's a
prairie garden, full of weeds and rangy materials.

I do live and let live, but I do it by taking part in the solution, not causing
the problem. I'm not saying you aren't correct about rules and more rules, just
that when I bought this house I signed a deed restriction to which I must
comply. I can be sued in civil court if I don't. I KNEW that coming in. We
don't have a homeowners association in here. We are respectful to one another
as something decent people do.

the key is any development with any rules cause if they dont have them now, they will
have em in the future when the control freaks get their nose outta joint. the rules
you start with are not the rules you end up with. oddly enough, I now live in the
city jowl to jowl and there seems to be less rules than in the burbs. people here
are more interested in living and let living than "property values". Ingrid

Yeah, but she did move into a HOA development, which can and does enforce the
deed restrictions. She signed this when she bought the house. Nobody tells me
what to plant or not, but out of respect of neighbors who have their tidy boring
front yards, I somehow manage to comply. You should know that my compliance IS
my defiance.
