Years ago, while looking at houses for sale, I stopped in on a newly
constructed pair of houses on what had been a single large (for the area)
lot. While talking to the selling agent, I learned that there was a
requirement that the houses have no antennas, and that when cable reached
the area, they could not even have TV antennas. (Yes, this was before the
FCC stepped into CC&R issues with broadcst TV antennas.)

I asked why. The explanation was that the city required them to include
those restrictions in order to get the permit to develop as they had.

The real reason was that the cable company got to the city to force
the developer to put such a restriction into the CC&Rs. A little
"hand-holding" between the city and the cable companies is not unknown
in this business.
