Let It Go - Give It Up

Our stay in the mushrooming subdivision Ashley Springs can achieve full ownership only by meeting the developer’s latest requirements... six bushes and two deciduous trees, keep your garbage can in the garage. Such restrictions have put the whole neighborhood in the throes of unrest. Gears are clashing even as I write. To sully the community spirit in this way evokes emotions which attempt to sidestep legality. We more flexible newbies, about thirty in number now are pitted against the established oldies who could grandfather out of some of the constraints based on length of residence. Solution? It’s our property now! Mr. Developer. Your raw power gains nothing by the forcing of personal preference. written May 27, 2018
