The stuff around my tree in my back yard in my unrestricted neighborhood in my northern new england town is absolutely irrelevant, and you bringing it up in this thread is pretty trashy behavior.

What happens in the older section of the Villages is not representative of the Villages as a whole. We are not isolated, we have friends, and even relatives who live in more restricted sections of the Villages. Our lives are impacted by the restrictions, even though our specific neighborhoods might not have the same ones.
Years ago I met this guy who lives in Germany. He lives in a castle and is married to a duchess. If , I recall they have over 20 acres. He and a neighbor are fighting over a huge tree that is over the property line. As i recall, he told me if it stays for another 20 years it is grandfathered in.

My point, people are people anywhere and everywhere. Nothing is ever perfect. No solution is perfect. Here, if you see a violation it is your choice to or not to report it. You need to decide if it is really important. You need to expect, it is very unlikely that a person you report will say thanks for letting me know. Unlike the choices made in other planed communities we do not have people patrolling and looking for violations. Another not perfect answer to human problems.
