Perhaps a more appropriate action is to go back to those same state
legislatures that have adopted PRB-1 type "reasonable accommodation"
language and ask them to extend those statures to apply to private
contracts (CC&Rs).  We know the legislatures are willing to do something -
congress is still an unknown (after all they still haven't adopted the
amateur radio spectrum protection act after several years of trying).
