When conditions change, and the community would be better served if some of those restrictions were changed, is it easier to change municipal zoning codes, or to change individual contracts and deed restrictions?
From what I've seen, it's nearly impossible to change deed restrictions; even restrictions like "you can't sell to african-americans" stay on the books, but just become unenforceable. At least with zoning laws, it's possible (if hard) to de-clutter them.
