That CC&Rs are legal is crazy to me. The fact that one homeowner (or these days the original developer) can opt into a contract that binds every future owner of the property in perpetuity is too damn much. Yes I understand the mechanism, that the owner is agreeing not to sell to anyone who won't agree, so in theory every owner has "consented", but forever is a long ass time and it makes these things really far reaching. I strongly support more limits here.
