There is a difference between something that violates a restriction and something that is offensive or improper. Or something that truly detracts from property values. From the people I know, they didn't move here to patrol neighborhoods, particularly not their own, in order to make an issue of a non-issue for the sake of feeling important. In fact, I doubt most people move here for the deed restrictions, as someone mentioned above. I've stayed away from HOA developments up until now, specifically for that reason, and realtors around the country will tell you that that is a primary reason people dont want to live in those developments. Not because they want to live like slobs or dont appreciate neatness, but because there are limits on how much people will allow others to dictate how they live. (Hong Kong?). I have no infringements on my home, but i did hesitate to buy here because of that. I, like so many others, buy here because of the lifestyle, the golf, the pickleball, the shows, the activities AND the overall beauty of the place, particularly the public areas. I cringe at the thought of people who dont have lives to live, finding street patrols satisfying when there is so much else here to enjoy. The new state law that allows gardening in the front lawns must be giving them sleepless nights. (I know its being contested). Anyway, i hope Moral1 and GracieGirl are following the responses and choose to leave their neighbors in peace.
