Just creeping government.
In Riverside County, CA any building (dog shelter, garage, fence anything) requires a public hearing. Oh yea, you have to pay the entire cost.
I didn’t know that. I live in Mission Viejo, and the HOA is OK. But that is scary stuff. Federal, State and now local control is just too much. Creeping socialism, creeping fascism. Bit by bit we are losing this country.
