We had a crazy lady here a decade ago. She wanted to start an HOA in
an established neighborhood. Basically she wanted to control everyone.
It was full of silly things like no apple trees (she's allergic to
apple pollen), fines for walkways that were not totally smoothe (city
issue, they get to them in time), street gutters not cleared within 2
hours of a storm (timing wrong, also some elderly can't do it so the
rest of us do it for them).

She also wanted all houses painted a particular set of shades (most of
us are vinal so paint is not an option). She even went further that no
house should have a dual driveway and those (like me) should pay to
have the extra one removed yet she also wanted no cars parked on the
street. Crazy person.

We just laughed and she moved out to someplace she could control.
