rsetterlund,

Excuse me but, is privacy a dirty word, is privacy something that offends you ??? You quoted me correctly but, you forgot to mention that I said that I understood the rule regarding fences. My follow up question was simply about hedges. I specifically mentioned that we like walking our dog, we never even considered a fence, just a low hedge for aesthetics and privacy. For you to suggest that I do not move to The Villages unless I buy a villa, is unreasonable and not in keeping with the friendly attitude that makes The Villages so special. May I suggest that you look at TV website, click on resales, you will be able to view a plethora of virtual tours of many different homes other then villas, that have plantings, hedges and other items for the express purpose of providing some basic privacy.
