They want a fake,hokey,rural look to the place because it is a tourist town so all personal rights go out the window.

I'd dig in my heels on this one.

It's not a fake, hokey, rural look. When my Great Grandfather (and on back for several generations of "greats") and our relatives were over there in the hills weaving baskets all winter long, they really looked forward to being able to take them to Nashville to an appropriate looking place to sell them to the tourists coming in from Indianapolis and Chicago.

Their livelihood depended on the place looking the way it looked ~ not like an IHOP!

Today Nashville is in the throes of a revival of it's "art colony" traditions. One individual must not be allowed to destroy this.

If you want to exercise your right to do as you damn well please, then you shouldn't live in a town that makes its living off of a style or a theme or a look.

Themed towns and style enforcement make for great communities to be in... better than the glaring ugly unmatched sprawl in poorly planned towns.

Leavenworth, WA

It's a Bavarian town. Everything has Bavarian architecture, even the Safeway. It's NOT the place for independent grouches who don't appreciate the mission of the town.
