You've got to get permission from the zoning board to paint your house a different color and the city inspector actively writes people up for cosmetic damage to the exterior of houses. I don't know that I'd want to live there.

On the other side, housing prices are roughly two to three times higher than any other neigborhood in the area for a house of the same construction and lot of the same size. So I can't say that the regulations put me out all that much.
