Sacramento County ban on home “major auto repair”

After moving to Texas, I unfortunately made the ill informed decision to purchase a home and move into an HOA neighborhood but that's on me and since I put my John Hancock on the paper that outlined the covenants it is what it is but I have tested the rules and unlike some neighborhoods that have Gestapo like Management companies the one managing my neighborhood has made some concessions.

When I first moved here it was a fairly new development and one of the rules was that NO Business advertising could be on a resident's vehicle whether they worked at a Real Estate company, Rental Yard, Mechanical Engineering Co. or whatever...WELL HELLO, People work for a Living and to a logical person that rule was just ******* stupid and only an idiot could draw a parallel between that and a decrease in property values which is what the rule was supposed to protect, I don't think that they changed the rule but certainly acquiesced and no longer have a hard on for that.

Conflating somebody operating a Crack House to somebody who happens to trim trees for a living parking their vehicle in the neighborhood is beyond ludicrous. Ya know what "hemi71x" life can be really hard sometimes juggling between working your *** off, dealing with family, financial, compatibility, health and death issues and then on top of everything else, of all people somebody who is actually dealing with some of the same stuff himself comes along and intentionally makes your life worse. Since you've mentioned all the houses of worship and your relationship with such it just makes me scratch my head as what your showing is just a true lack of Empathy and hardly the Christian Creed!
Ya, we got a richie, rich section of the city, on the East side of the main Boulevard, called Gold River, that all kinds of HOA restrictions, codes and covenants, that the residents have to comply with.
But as you say, they chose to live there with all the do's and dont's.
Gated communities in areas, low millions of dollar homes, in other areas of it, and way out of my price range in my neighborhood.
Amazing what a mile away from one another can be like for housing.
