Some of the ugliest disputes around are those that arise between neighbors, often over something that is completely trivial.
That said, though, these folks bought a home that was subject to restrictive covenants. They knew before they bought that they had certain obligations to their neighbors, and they agreed to them, or pretended to. They acted anyway, then ignored all court dates and mediation attempts? Boo hoo for them. I wouldn't wish neighbors with those attitudes on anyone (except maybe each other...).
