I live in a historic district, Old Kings Highway. It goes through five towns, anything and everything north of route 6 if you know Cape Code at all. I have file for approval (pay a fee), go to a hearing, and get compliance (another fee) in order to paint my house any other color besides what it is now or white. I think it is a great thing for the historic areas. It really makes a difference to compare route 6A (Old Kings Highway) with route 28 (strip malls). But, I live in a 1965 subdivision that is off the beaten track. It is, in my opinion, regulated to take in money.

I guess I should be happy that my neighbors won't have polka dots. ... or stockade fences that come out past the face of the house, no chain link fence, no shinyl vinyl fence, .... Oh, and no landscaper or other trucks in their driveways. Rail fences and picket fences still need to be approved (cha-ching).

I think the fake grass would be allowed because they do not regulate landscaping. Go figure.
