22. actually, it might be illegal, not merely unenforceable

i'm not up on the subtleties of redlining laws, but i don't think it's legal to put up a sign (or the equivalent in a covenant) in the management office that says "whites only". even if it's not enforced, or not enforceable, it still attempts to steer non-whites away, which is redlining.

besides, unenforceable odious behavior is still worth objecting to. government-sanctioned odious behavior is not the only thing worth fighting.
