After the cheapo mailboxes were vandalized, however, several residents of the subdivision replaced them with boxes of their own choosing--usually sturdy plastic or the fancy metal ones. As far as I know, no one has been to court about the violations of the covenants. I don't have a problem with voting on restrictive covenants, as long as it would be a vote to remove them altogether or make them less restrictive. As you said, it does seem unfair to allow a simple majority vote to enforce more covenants or to make the existing ones more restrictive.
