No, of course it didn't. The only ties to the U.N. that you will find it that it is their agenda. It's starts off real nice, who could disagree with peaceful, secure, clean neighborhoods with less traffic?

Then eventually the association will encourage the Code Enforcement Dept to fine, and fine, and fine, those that have a torn screen, or trees that need trimming, until they fine them right out of their property. For instance, any old sick tree cut down, must be replaced by another tree, etc. Those that can't afford it, the elderly property owner, will be fined out of their homes.

If there is a growing fuss about it, then the government will subsidize the elderly, and of course without question the minority, another government give away, but those in the middle class that are hanging on won't qualify of course. Right now in my neighborhood HUD took over some homes, there was never a For Sale sign put up, there was never a sticker in the window saying H.U.D., then suddenly they were occupied by illegals. I had posted on this forum that H.U.D. was slipping illegals into neighborhoods. Then Tancredo Fan came up with an article about it. It's a Bush administration idea, he wants full credit for it from the illegal community.

And what's worse, this little packet talked about all the meetings in the neighborhood that had gone on, the get togethers everyone was informed and had agreed, blah, blah, blah. But no one ever informed me of meetings, get togethers and agreements to this mess.

A guy knocked on the door, handed my husband the packet and off he went, no explainations.

Usually they do not post enough signs, and often they are placed among the trees so that they aren't easily seen. Granted, they do usually use bright colors.

I studied some urban planning in college, and the more that I got into it, the more I saw it as becoming too invasive in private property rights. What's more, roughly three fourths of the people in urban planning classes are somewhat liberal.

While I agree that beautiful neighborhoods are a great idea, I don't think that they should be legislated through oppressive ordinances and covenants, nor do I think that local governments should be non-compromising on zoning changes if the property owner wants it.

Zoning meeting, or the like that you spoke of, are often held on a Monday morning at 8:30 in the morning? Why? Most people are working or are leaving to work and can't make it at that time. Thus, there's less opposition that can make it to the meeting. However, it rarely matters, as most county comissions pass what they want.
