It is not permitted and even though you'll likely get away with it it is wrong. 4)not everyone wants your dog sniffing them. A 6foot lead is the law. Those leads that extend beyond that are not legal, but many lazy owners could care less so don't be surprised when someone gets upset with you. 5)a dog is part of your family not others so don't expect them to act like it's human. 6)riding with your dog on your lap while driving is stupid. You not only don't have the reflexes you had when younger, you're easily distracted...so cut it out.
A community that is dog friendly also has dog owners who are responsible and respect the rights of others. Get with the program and don't be part of the problem. I love dogs, but some owners need extended training.

Fred: I share your views, and include those dog owners that walk with their dogs off their leash.
concerns such as expressed here along with inconsiderate drivers, traffic etc are a symptom of the bigger problem expansion. whether a person is more adaptable or less tolerate has to do with expectations. I can tell you my definition of paradise doesn't include overcrowding.
boy wonder if I am going to find that heaven is overcrowded, that would just be hell
