I don't think his car analogy is "lame" at all. Try getting a dealer to "hold" a 50th anniversary corvette for you in 2003. TV is a sellers market, and sellers can make the rules. "Other developers" are not sitting on the fastest growing community in the US, and if they were, their rules would probably be similar.
I thought the rules were restrictive when I bought---30 days to close from 1000 miles away after coming here to be ushered into the sales office once we chose a home, paperwork, $5000 deposit, etc. But those were the conditions of the contest, if you don't like them, don't play. It's like complaining your drive down the middle of the fairway settled in an old divot. You may not like it, but that's the rules. (except for those that just give themselves a good lie)
