The nicer the neighborhood, the worse they are...almost to the point that the local police and code enforcement are on the Home Owner's Association's payroll. My dad once lived in a neighborhood that was a mix of midwestern retirees and the modestly wealthy (condos 150K-2M, houses 500K-4M). When he tried to remodel his house, the City must have filed three "Order to Stop Work" injunctions and it must have took 2 years to do 6 months' worth of work. A $60,000 project probably eventually was several times that in Legal and Engineering fees..and it was a total circus. The house was in the Tampa Tribune at least twice and there was a neighborhood referendum on it.
