So says a village council in the UK.

ordered to repaint it bright yellow or face prosecution."

I see several houses around here that were painted a nice yellow
several years ago. Now, its "#2 yellow". When yellow fades it looks
brown.

I think she should paint a big yellow hand with the middle finger
sticking up on the front of her house.




paint the hand/middle finger a dark color,THEN paint over it with a coat of
yellow.

So it shows thru....

Or paint the hosue yellow,than a slightly darker yellow hand/finger.

So are many other colors. The point is the locals appear to have
established a local ordnance controlling the color of buildings in
that area. There is nothing new to that. I once lived in a
historical district and had to comply with colors as part of the local
building code. If she wants to live in the area, then she must abide
by the laws in that area.

I have heard a story of a homeowner in an HOA neighborhood protesting
the home painting regulations by painting the front of the house with the
most-glaring large-polka-dot pattern using the two-most-unlike-eachother
allowable shades of "beige" or "beige-white" or whatever the allowable
color was.

Yep. In fact it's the law in Jerusalem that buildings have to be faced with
stone, in keeping with the, er, something or other, of the historical city.
Maybe to make it harder for the Romans to tear down?

I think she can't do anything just to follow what the rules are
written in the deeds.

True about that law. It's the "golden" stone that gives the city that
marvelous
glow when light shines on it.The modern song "Yerushalyim Shel
Zahav" (Jerusalem of gold), has beautiful lyrics. It has become
almost a 2nd national
anthem.

Deeds are contracts. Clauses in contracts - or even the whole thing - can be
voided for any of several reasons. For example, if the contract was executed
by someone who does not have the legal capacity to enter into such a
contract - selling something that doesn't belong to him or a juvenile.

One of the voidable provisions of a contract is a stipulation against public
policy. You can't have an enforceable contract to sell a car for "ten
sexual episodes" or provide that a bit of property "will never be sold to
anyone not of the white race."

I would argue that HOA rules prohibiting the display of the American Flag
(Standard, Ensign, Colors, or any device showing the stars and stripes in
any color or combination such that the average person perceiving same would
take the representation to be that of the Flag, Standard, Ensign, or Colors
of the United States) is contrary to proper public policy.

Likewise "Welcome Home Sgt Smith" placards.

Good red-meat eating, gun-toting, Republican-voting, 'mericans should
have absolutely no sympathy for someone who signs an agreement like
that, then decides he/she doesn't like what the agreement has to say.

The should have thought about that BEFORE they signed the paper.

I can do what I want with my property, but if I sign that right away,
I got no reason to complain.
