I agree.

Deed restrictions are part of the reason that many have chosen their homes here. Deed restrictions keep folks from storing their son's car just off the driveway, and keeps the fat bend over lady wood cut-outs from springing up here and there. Deed restrictions allow a Mezuzah or Cross on your door but not in your yard. Deed restrictions stop neighbors from being so creative that it lowers your own property values. It is wonderful that we all believe our own children and yards to be beautiful, but sadly some are not. Abstract art in a myriad of colors with flashing lights may not be properly appreciated by folks who live nearby with more traditional taste.

Deed restrictions keep things lovely for all of us. Anonymous reporting allow people who are not pleased to voice their complaint without being identified. Some call them yard Nazi's. I don't. I would. I have.
