From Pine View Farm

Absurd.

Relatives of a paralyzed war veteran said Monday the family plans to leave their suburban Augusta neighborhood after a home owners’ association objected to their new home plans because the house wasn’t large enough.

Their plans were for a 2,700 square-foot house.

I don’t think the big old Southern farm house at Pine View Farm has that many square feet; if it does, it’s just barely (see the banner–that’s it right there). I know that the largest house I have owned since growing up and leaving home was an 1800 square-foot three bedroom split, which was large enough to raise three children just fine with only occasional bloodletting.

Addendum, Later that Same Week:

Check out StevenD’s post on this. He goes in to much more detail and it’s even more infuriating than the short item I found in the Atlanta Journal-Constitution led me to believe.
