There are no reasonable limitations on one’s right to use his property as he sees fit. If the jerk next door wants to paint his house in primary colors, it is his house.
This is just not true. If you and I are neighbors and we sign contracts that say we will not paint our houses in primary colors, and then you do, you have violated the contract. That is what a Homeowner's Association is. If you don't want to abide by the rules of one, don't buy a property that is subject to one.
But you cannot say, "I love this house, how all the neighborhood houses are alike, how none have ugly trim, and all the mailboxes match and there are no cars parked on the street, etc, etc, etc. I want to buy a house here and violate all the rules that made this place attractive to me."
