This kind of thing is really annoying. It's one thing if people want to buy
in a planned community, where they know going in that the CC&Rs require you
to keep your driveway empty and your house painted the same color as
everyone else. If you limit your rights by contract, you can't gripe when
they hold you to it.
The problem is when a bunch of people, usually led by realtors, want to take
away the use of your property ex post facto. So that the sales comissions
will be higher. Over the last 20 years the Supreme Court has given some
support to property owners fighting new restrictions to property cvalues,
but those cases involved a lot more money than the value of an old truck or
two. Still, maybe the ACLU could tear themselves away from defending the
rights of Seattle anarchists long enough to help those on Spokane who
believe in recycling more than just tin cans.
