To change this the applicable CDD would have to seek a change to the deed restrictions and then it would have to be approved by all parties associated with the deed restrictions - this would be everyone in that unit and the Developer (not The District government or the CDD, but The Villages of Lake-Sumter company) as this is basically a contract between the buyers and the seller.
People can't stand a yard gnome or a simple wooden cross in someone's front yard, imagine the drama if you blocked someone's view with a fence. And who would make the decision of what is attractive...

You are spot on
Every where we moved we built and we would get together with other owners and agree not to build fences but to use natural barriers (shrubs, etc.) It worked well and the back yards were gloriously green.
The problem occurred when the original owners sold and new people would move in and immediately erect a fence and it all went to ----
In Memphis you would literally see a six foot wooden fence up against the opposing neighbor chain link fence. If you followed the evelopments in years built suddenly there was the appearance of run down beat up fencing. what an eye sore .
Can you imagine what villages built already would look like if fencing was allowed. The problems associated with maintaining lawns, fencing etc.
Those who play Voluisa will note that once they reach the 2nd hole they are up high and what does that otherwise beautiful view offer but a sea of asphalt.
What people are really saying is that they want privacy but privacy ( a view) not the house in The Villages requires a great deal more in cash
