Oy! That is *exactly* the reason why I will not live in a neighborhood
like that.

With all due respect . . . all neighborhoods are like that.

Yes, there certainly are developments that pride themselves on the
enforcement of their rules, with people out there measuring the height
of your daffodils to be sure they're within the specifications that the
homeowners association has established.

But I've seen petty neighbor squabbles out in the country. It has a lot
more to do with personality clashes between individuals than it does
with CCRs. CCRs may make it easier, and they may be a marker that it's
more likely, but it can happen anywhere.

I guess the moral of the story as far as I'm concerned is do your
research, know your neighbors, and communicate with them about your
Hamness. Some times people call me lucky in all this. I think we make
our luck.

You're right. But luck is there, all the same. You could have an
unreasonable neighbor who didn't respond to your doing all the right
things. If that happened, you would be in a world of hurt with very
little recourse.
