Gray,
You are absolutely correct....there is a section of a ranch home community in Hemmingway that has 6 foot white vinyl fences enclosing the back yard. I rode by there this morning. In my personal taste/opinon, they are not terribly attractive, but, certainly fulfill a need for those who want a house with a fence and for whom Courtyard Villas are not an option.
I'm sure the convenants for this community require all to have/maintain common fence....type and color.
Maybe I'm naive, but I kinda believe that someone out there in developer land reads TOTV to keep a pulse on what people are thinking and wanting.
Here's a link to one of them from the Villages new homes site:

BUC...are you listening? Here's what you've been asking for.
