76. We don't have black walnut trees in C. Florida, but we do have golf courses and viewing easements,

though the wordage for those easements are sometimes disguised as rear setbacks. It does provide a test for our HOAs to see just how legitimate they want to be when they selectively enforce who can break those rules, and who can't, because selective enforcement is illegal in Florida. And the reason it's illegal is because it creates just the kind of hostile scenario that forces a person to decide between lawyers and avoidance.

And lawyers in Central Florida present a special challenge. Because of the illicit network between professionals I would have the added burden of exposing a few crooked lawyers just to clear the way for a fair trial.
