I'm not trying to be snarky, but why are you considering moving to a place that has restrictions you don't like? The wife and I moved here understanding the restrictions and are happy to live with them. Restrictions serve a very important purpose, they keep the neighborhoods clean, orderly and pleasant for your neighbors. The most important purpose of restrictions is to maintain the value of your home and the surrounding homes.
Once deed restrictions are waived it usually leads to further waivers. Your neighbor knows you got a waiver for 3 dogs. He wants 4 dogs and points out the fact that you got a waiver for 3, 4 dogs is only one more than 3 so what is the problem? Then all kinds of people will want other waivers for restrictions they don't like and then the neighborhood will start going down hill.
