"This reminds me of something I read years ago. If you move to a small town or rural area with a lot of former hippies and rednecks and want to do something different, usually the rednecks don't have a problem with it, it's the "free-thinking" former hippies that set themselves up as the aesthetics police and harass anyone doing anything they think "unattractive"."

The self-proclaimed "free-thinkers" in most cases just want to control everything; not surprising, doesn't anyone remember that the hippie-types this evolved from were ardent communists? (Several commenters on the original article mentioned the money the organizers make; I strongly suspect that is secondary to their being rabid control freaks).
