In this case, the bitter neighbour was shamed. Congrats to the 'cactus' neighbour. Few people would've been as clever.

When, a week later, Mark Easton "expressed to him that I am sorry for any discomfort that I have caused his family or him, and that I had no intent to do any harm to him when I called the city with my concern about safety," Wood apparently found that sufficient and took down the controversial abstract "cactus." http://www.snopes.com/photos/risque/ventcover.asp Wood said he would remove the vent cover art if he received apologies from his neighbors.

Along with Sid though...you should know what you're getting into before you move into a zoned neighborhood. I for one will never move into a neighborhood which has onerous neighborhood association rules. I’m pretty sure that the ‘cactus’ guy got sued and had to take down the ‘cactus’ too.
