This is a neighborhood in La Jolla. There is no HOA, only a set of CC&R’s that authorize the election of an Architectural Jury. (The main purpose of which is to keep people from building and blocking other people’s views) It is an older neighborhood, 1950s with mostly ramblers.
edit: I should mention that this is the first time anyone has flagrantly ignored the Architectural Jury. Many people have had to redo their plans and curb their expansion in order to get approval for their remodels. Now we’ve hit a point where basically the homeowner is say, “heck with you, sue me if you want.”
