Before I moved into my new home in TV, I was warned that there were people from anywhere in TV, who would ride around and file complaints against anything that appeared to them to be in violation of deed restrictions. Well, I was pretty scared when Direct TV came to install the "dish". I must have asked him 10 times if the location would be OK. I spent countless nights worrying that I could be a violator.
To play the devils advocate, I see many homes with flower pots that I would consider distasteful; I see flower beds that look unkept; I see lawn furniture on porches that don't match at all or have seen better days; I see garage doors open and the insides are a mess. These ARE NOT infractions of the deed regulations but they can be unsightly and legal.
I think there is something grossly wrong with people from a different village/neighborhood making complaints about another persons property in another area. I may like the bronze bird in my neighbors front yard. I may like my other neighbors gazing ball. Since I am the one who looks at it every day, what right should someone from another village tell ME what I can look at. If I DISLIKED it, I would understand my or my neighbors complaint.
I like the deed restrictions, but I think this particular area should be reconsidered. It is plane wrong for people to ride around playing "deed" police.
