Ever had a run-in with a neighbor?

Parking an RV was against the rules and when he was informed he was very upset even though it was in his signed homebuyers agreement. He offered to build a separate structure to house the RV, but was told it wasn't allowed. Then he offered to build an addition to the back of the house, and was told that was fine but he couldn't keep the RV in his driveway while it was built. He threw a fit and ended up selling a house he had only been in for a couple weeks because he wanted his RV at his house.

Mine also has restrictive covenants. I'd wager most neighborhoods with active HOAs do, too. I know some people detest them; I love them.
