I know people that cannot decorate for christmas at all, get fined if they leave their garbage cans out after a certain time on garbage day, HAVE to park their cars in their garage and other stupid stuff.
What gets me is that you have to PAY to have these people fine you....its totally ridiculous in my eyes and no house is worth having somebody else decide they dont like my pirate flag hanging off MY front porch!!!

I find that people in states like Georgia tend to have the same attitude you do (and which I share).
People in more liberal states have NO qualms about telling other people what they plan to allow them to do with their property. Just recently I had to drop out of escrow on a piece of property that was zoned for three stories, because the people across the alley (who knew full well what zone they were buying next to) didn't think it was right to have someone actually build up to what the zoning permitted.
I know it sounds crazy, but since it's governmental, it's not surprising. The rest of my comments would be better suited for Tilted Politics.
