Most-quoted passages
The sentences later courts lift from this opinion, ranked by how many decisions quote each — the parts of the opinion doing the work. These counts are smaller than the citation total above because most of the 20 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
““1. All lots in the Tract shall be known and described as residential lots. No structure shall be erected, altered, placed or permitted to remain on any residential building plot other than the 1 detached single-family dwelling not to exceed two stories in height and a private garage for not more than two cars and other necessary outbuildings incidental to single-family use”; “3. No obnoxious or offensive trade or activity shall be carried on upon any lot nor shall anything be done thereon which may be or become an annoyance or nuisance to the neighborhood.””
