What if it was a pic of Satan or the mooslim crescent? Certainly any would be OK in a non-CID area, but I prefer to have my surroundings predictable (if, admittedly, a bit bland). It is what I signed up for.
Here's a summation of objections raised to CIDs: (link)
No axe to grind there, eh? Some of the objections raised are valid, but that is a very slanted article. I encounter none of the problems outlined therein. And a CID is a must for Condos.
I say these legalistic contrivances degrade basic property rights, and were designed for exclusivity and insulate directors from liability.
I don't agree -- CIDs are a requirement for true shared living, but this brings us to your next point...
Further, the claim that these are voluntarily contracted is hollow as these schemes proliferate and more townships require them. And I predict, as I hope, that the courts will put a stop to them.
I'll go 50/50 with you on this. Yes, they are voluntary. HOWEVER, I agree with your suggestion that they are getting out of hand. Your link did cite some very contrived examples of creating a CID where no practical reason (1 shared cistern) exists. People need to have a choice. In this I would be along side you fighting against creating CIDs or having towns where EVERYTHING is a CID.
I concede you are probably right about the inalienability of rights. I spoke too soon. Of course you can give away your rights; we do it all the time. For example, see above.
Well stated. I have overstated quickly a few times (hehe -- I only admit to a few). I figured you really did know what was what after your second post. I apologize for challenging your knowledge of the Constitution (most FReepers know it well) based on my limited exposure to your posts.
I'm cool with that.

I've always thought we were obliged to grit our teeth and put up with it. I just want reciprocity.

I can understand that; had you mentioned rap music I'd have had to agree.
I thought I had this sewn up in my own mind, but I see it needs more thought. Thanks for your comments.
