Those laws were put into place by the consent of the governed...if you don't like the laws, you can work to change them, but until they are changed, you must abide by them or face whatever penalties the governed consented to as punishment for not following the laws.

Please - You cannot being intellectually honest believe this BS....The reality of Gov't is the vast majority of laws passed ...the general public is not aware at all about them. Nor does the average American who is busting his as$ have the luxury of "time" to try and keep up-to-date on all the workings of busy-body government types.

Private property rights are being trashed each and every day. Simply under the concept of "what is for the common good". And that is complete BS...and is one of the leading paths for the continually eroding of this great Nation.

Again, that you think Gov't needs to continue morphing itself into a larger and larger entity in which one of its roles is to ensure property values don't decrease is utterly pathetic. Our Founding Fathers are rolling in their graves.

Regards (and no further need to continue).

Ignorance is no excuse, it is the people's responsibility to be informed, and to take active part in their government. If instead they decide that they do not wish to be involved, and they want no responsibility for the working of that government, that's a decision as well.

There are plenty of places where you can go live where restrictive laws are not an issue; go live there.

But to come into a place where the people have by either active choice, or by passive approval allowed such laws to be set in place, and decide that you will not be governed by the prevailing laws is exactly what you labeled my post...bulls%it.

I live in a HOA community, the regs governing this township where clearly spelled out long before I made the decision to buy my house; I also visited the city's government center to familiarize myself with their laws and regulations.

In the course of closing on my house, I signed agreement to all those regs.

Everyone who purchased a home in this township signed the same documents that I did, and now, just like I am contractually obligated to maintain my property according to all those regulations, the city and township are contractually obligated to me to enforce them.

Our Founding Fathers are doing nothing of the sort, they gave us the system that allows you the choice of living where there are no regs, and me to make the choice to live where I live.
