That's exactly what we had to deal with recently here where I live. We lived here for 20 years, with very little newbies coming in. Then in the last 3-4 years, we've been swamped and these new people tried to start a homeowners association, to change things that had been here for years. Luckily, and without the help of any kind of organization:), the old timers got together and put a stop to it. We all showed up at one of their "organizational" meetings and let them know they were close to being tarred and feather, run out on a rail, and crosses burning in their sodded front yards:)

We've been trying to get that through these people's heads but they think we're just dumb hicks who don't know any better :)
