There are very good reasons for the restrictive covenants. If you decide to "let it slide" because, well, you want to, you will find out that once you stop enforcing them, you soon can't enforce any. Want to allow kids? How about home businesses, cars under repair in driveways, large families, etc. Take a good look at what happened to some of the early 55+ communities (especially in the southwest) which started to make all kinds of excepts.
I disagree with you. The theory that a rule will become non-enforceable unless strictly applied doesn't seem to be the case here in TV, because the only way the rule will be enforced is if a complaint is made. So every rule will be enforced if there is a complaint. And no rule will go away if there is no complaint.
