Hi Bill.

Quite the opposite. I moved out to a location where I
can pretty much do what ever I want to. Antenna or other
wise.

I'm just tired of people moving to some location where
they can't have antennas and then whining about how can
I get around not having an antenna.

Jeff,

I "sort of" agree with you: we've covered this topic before on r.r.a.m.,
so I'll try to avoid beating a dead horse.

The problem with CC&R's is that builders love them and real estate
agents love them, and nervous new buyers love them, but they are,
IMNSHO, at variance with human nature and the natural, healthy
inclination to improve one's property and to make it unique and more
appealing to the owner's eye. Such "contracts" are designed to reassure
the purchasers of mediocre housing in second-rate cities that no one
will every be allowed to do anything that makes them wonder how badly
they were robbed.

There are too many people around who are eager to tell me how to live
and what to think, and I don't like the thought that, as time goes by,
the only houses that I can afford will ALL be subject to though-police
interpretation of ridiculous rules that I had to "agree" to in order to
have a roof over my head. I've got a contrarian nature, but also a
men-of-a-certain-age appreciation of differences and innovation, even if
they mean that I must "Suffer" the obligation to look at a religious
monument most politely described as "Our Lady Of The Bathtub", or a
tri-band beam that I know is too low to do anything but warm up the
birds' behinds.

CC&R's are, by their nature, covenants that demand everyone think the
same, and they are put in place to sell real estate to those whom are
afraid of anyone who thinks differently. I think a little uncivil
disobedience is called for.

YMMV.
