Right, overt race restrictive covenants are forbidden now (Shelley v.
Kraemer). Now it is all done with a wink and a nod.


But how is it discriminating to require all homes in that community to
have
a manicured front lawn?


On the basis of race, it wouldn't be. But that is way too specific an
example. It's about making rules that tells anyone who owns a house in that
area, what is 'suitable' planting. That is about taste and style.
