Not even just antennas (though they are most relevant to this list)...look 
at the restrictions in most new housing developments...you can't have a 
clothes line, leave toys or lawn furniture on the front lawn overnight, 
etc.  You pay big bucks for a new house and have all these silly rules 
because someone is afraid that you having a red front door will somehow 
reduce their property values.
