Jimmy, I don't know enough about the other neighborhoods to venture a guess about another one to live in. I like the ones with some covenants and that are enforced.
I find that tools rust even when kept out of the rain. Someone told me it was not the moisture in the air as much as the acid in the air from the volcano that causes the rust.
If you find a house near some roosters that aren't very noisy in the daytime, don't assume that it'll stay that way. Roosters have a high mortality rate and the next ones may be loud. If roosters are only in the back of the house, don't assume that they will only be back there. Raising roosters was so profitable for a neighbor near us that he/she/they added more and moved the additional ones to the front of the house, which increased the noise. Leilani has a covenant against roosters, I think. The problem is enforcing the covenant. If they are inconsistent or stop enforcing the covenant for some period of time, then the covenant can't be legally enforced later. At least, that's what I've been told by some homeowner association presidents.
