I don't think we've ever lived in a neighborhood/borough/municipality that didn't have some sort of restrictions. At the lake condo, you couldn't park a boat or an RV in your driveway for more than three days. In the city, you couldn't park cars anywhere but the driveway. Everywhere: you had to keep your yard mowed and tidy, no refrigerators on the front porch, etc. You couldn't let the building itself become rundown.

I don't understand people complaining about the restrictions, or even not expecting there to be some. Maybe they are more stringent than in other places, but still, having restrictions is not unique to The Villages.
