This has come up in a few threads now, and I'm just wondering.....With all the "communistic/dictatorship" rules and regs; why do people want to move there?
I personally couldn't stand someone telling me I couldn't have a compost pile or native plants instead of a lawn with all of it's flaws, i.e. chemicals, mowing, etc. Can't line dry clothes, no solar panels
allowed and on and on.What is the attraction? And why do people let themselves be ruled that way? (And please don't get mad if you live in one, I'm just wondering why you do)?????
