| I'm not at all suggesting that's a bad thing, just a question. My follow up to that is how does that come to fruition? As in, who in local government sets such a tone? Because where our current home is, it feels like nobody cares about much. I hate it. And it's not a cheap place to live. |

| Not as far as I am aware. People just get things fixed nd follow the rules up there because half of them are lawyers, feds, or both. |

| Historic districts are much more strict. Try getting anything past the Old Georgetown Board, for example. And I hate HOAs but I’m sure there are some doozies out there. |
