I completely disagree with the bold text above. The Gov't has no right to control the color anyone's home. If you chose to live in a Community with C & R's dictating color choices, it is a choice you made, but once Gov't steps in to control that, you will see my @ss either starting a revolution or moving to a place where Gov't does not rule my freedom of choice. ;-)
Outside of a community which has adopted an aesthetics regulation I do not agree with it. But I do think that more communities ought to adopt aesthetics regulations.
