In most cities the
inner city is becoming gentrified. Young professionals are buying homes in the city, getting strict zoning and covenants passed so they will have their investments protected. You can't just "pass" a covenant. Covenants are a burden on the title, just like an easement. They work in brand new suburban developments because the original owner of the land, the developer, draws up the covenants for the "homeowner's association" and passes titles burdened with the covenants to the buyers of individual homes and lots. The title remains burdened as the properties continue to resell. A majority of members in most HOA's can vote to disband the covenant, but nobody can come to an existing property owner of record and say. "We've formed a home owner's association on the other side of the street. We demand that you move your garbage cans from your side yard to the back, take down your basketball hoop, paint the siding one of these six approved colors, and get that boat and trailer out of your driveway......" At least in this neck of the woods, and with out real estate laws in this state, y'are talking through your hat. When zoning changes, existing uses are "grandfathered" in, property owners are not customarily forced to tear down a structure or change the use of a property that predates a zoning change. A zoning change will effect future use. |

Very often on the news, I'll hear an announcer say something like,
"The subject was a black male, about 200 lbs. and about six feet tall, etc." Is that wrong? Is that a racial slur? Or is it simply a fact? If the description is offered as part of an appeal to help locate somebody who is suspected of a crime, that's completely legitimate. You also hear, "The suspect is a white male, 35-40 years of age, with a shaved head and heavily tattooed." In such a case, the description *is* the news. |

Gould does seem to have gotten on a high horse and has a real superiority
complex. He is one of the most bigoted and close minded person I have meet in Good lord, I'm an asshole. To slip any lower, I'd have to begin posting insults and negative personal comments when I run out of points in a debate. What's up with the structure of this sentence? He is one of the most bigoted and close minded person I have meet in You're entitled to your opinion, and entitled to express it. If you can manage to write on a more literate level, perhaps a greater number of people will find your opinions credible. |

But it does seem like you have a hard on for everything and anything you either do not own, wear, eat, drive or believe in. Learn to be more open to and able to accept places, things and ideals foreign to you Chuck. Otherwise you are missing out on a great experience in life. ;-) |

Gould,
Thanks for the legal definition of covenants, but covenants are used in cities all the time. A developer buys a tract of land, he then set up covenants for that tract of land. It is also very common for cities to enact laws that do the exact same thing as a covenant. Cities can designate an area as a historic district and have architectural committees who need to approve any changes made to your property, they need to approve the color you plan on painting your house, where you trash cans can be stored, how quickly you need to remove the trash cans from the street, if you are allowed to have a basketball hoop visible from the front of the street, if you are allowed to keep cars and/or boats on the street or even visible from the street. The laws can be stricter than the majority of HOA covenants. These laws are enacted because it provides homeowners and banks confidence to invest the money necessary to improve the property, and give them some assurance that the home's value will not be depreciated due to your neighbor painting his house purple polka dots. The city approve the laws because it revitalizes inner city neighborhoods. Again, in your bigoted mind, this is something you believe you only find in the lily white suburbs (which have not been lily white for a long time). Do you think minorities are too stupid to understand the benefits of community standards that will increase the value of their property? The fact that you find a neighborhood without any zoning, architectural guidelines or property use laws a benefit, says you should not live in a neighborhood with a HOA, or a historic district. My guess is those people who live in those communities are very glad you are not living next to them. I am curious as to why you are upset about those people who chose to live in the suburbs? Why do you think minorities do not live in the suburbs? You seem to live in a time warp where you believe nothing has changed since the 60's. In the last 40 years the world has changed, but your understanding of the world has not. "Gould 0738" wrote in message ... In most cities the inner city is becoming gentrified.

That is what happens when I get distracted in the middle of a sentence, and
then finish the sentence without rereading it. Do you believe your opinions are more creditable than others? "Gould 0738" wrote in message ...
