If I do anything, it will only be for ten years, that is about when I'll move. I don't want to permanently tie up the land. A developer once told me the housing tract that I'm in (25 Houses) would be worth much, much more if we tore up the CC&Rs and sold all the houses to a developer. There are 25 houses on around 100 acres in the middle of a very developed area with tract houses.

Jim, thanks for the tip. I plan on doing as little as possible for as much money as possible. I don't want to spend money so I can get money. But if they'll kick in 75% of something I need to do anyway, like trimming riparian oak trees, or brush control, I'm interested.
