The enforcement of "homeowners' association covenants" and "City
Ordinances" that defined citrus trees as acceptable shade trees, but a
home garden as "unsightly" and horses as pets, but chickens, cows, and
pigs as "livestock" and therefore unacceptable are just two of many
reasons I opted to vote with my feet a bit over 17 years ago and left the
mainland US for greener pastures (and gardens).
