The road around Orlando - and indeed everything around Orlando - is especially disgusting and a poorer than average representation of America. I'm not saying it gets MUCH better elsewhere, of course, but I've been around the country quite a bit and Orlando definitely wins a prize for being one of most hideous pockets of the nation.

true, I'd just say it isn't always a calculated risk so much as a naïve boost in dose - drug impurity can mess with your attempts to regulate dosage and being on the high can make you miscalculate safe doses

When I went to Orlando with my family, we ended up either eating at a) Outback, b) Bob Evans, or c) McDonalds for basically the entire week. The Orlando food options are less than stellar, that is for drat sure.

Though in Orlando's defense, we didn't end up straying too far from home that often, since this was late November 2000 and we were in the dark heart of hanging chad territory. As fun as Disney was, even as a teenager I knew the real interesting poo poo was on the news.

Alright, a little background, as the title mentions, I live in a suburb in Washington. What really started this issue in earnest for me was about a week and a half ago when someone who lives a few blocks from me in my neighborhood decided to have a large Nazi flag painted on the entirety garage door, the black, white, and red kind. I know it sounds really quite absurd, and it is, and I'd be willing to provide pictures. It's very clear what it is supposed to be, even though it seems to be professionally done, obviously it is still very offensive, and sticks out every time I drive past it on my way home from work.

This is not the first time I've noticed people putting up, "Decorations" that I was lead to understand the HOA would obviously not allow. Neo Nazis have been trickling into the Pacific Northwest, including Washington for years now. Mainly they've stuck to the rural areas and steered clear of everywhere else, but now they've been trickling into my area as well. I know of a few other instances of decorations, and I know of other Nazi fucks in the area.

I have reviewed the CC&R and as I suspected, something like this would have to be approved, otherwise it would be unauthorized and would provoke recurring fines and such. I was skeptical that Mr. Hitler and his buddies bothered to get it approved. I tried to go through the normal channels, but it ended up that I had to not only call the office of the HOA, but also request a meeting with their board of directors. I made it clear that I wanted an explanation on the mural, and other things I saw. I made sure to document it with dates, pictures, citations, etc.

Long story short, it turns out they actually did get their, "Treatments" approved by the Homeowner's Assoc. and therefore it is technically compliant with covenants. What followed was a somewhat passive aggressive rest of the meeting towards me, insisting that I let the matter go and that they were nice enough to take time off their day and so on and so forth. Obviously I won't get any help from them.
What other options do I have? Obviously this is the kind of situation HOAs are meant to remedy, and if they're not doing their job, that means property values are only going to plummet, and this whole place is going to look like Wolfenstein: The New Order soon. I'm open to any suggestions or information you can give me.

LOL, you're hosed. I hope this is a copy paste from some article and not actually you. The only other option would be to challenge the Board by calling elections or some such thing to get the Board replaced and even then, if they approved this poo poo, the Nazi homeowner might be grandfathered in already with his swastika garage door. If the decoration is clearly a direct violation of HOA Bylaws, then any interested party can challenge the Board approval and the decoration in court; get ready for some legal bills unless you can convince somebody like the Anti-Defemation League to handle it.
