They only seem to exist in suburbs that are largely disconnected to the real world. And want to preserve that status.

For example, the place I used to live in needed to pull up trees in the common areas and required $500 special assessment from everyone. Chuck Well,

I wonder how many residents, already discouraged with falling home values, just give up and walk away- making things that much tougher for homeowners left behind.
