Irrelevant. The deed restrictions still forbid homeowners from putting up clotheslines and antennae on their roofs. New homeowners get these restrictions, sign to abide by them, and are expected to obey deed restrictions.

My point is - that isn't always true. It currently isn't true. They CANNOT be expected to abide by some of those currently-existing deed restrictions that they signed to obey, because the Villages and CDD are not ALLOWED by law to enforce them. I'll bet there's no addenda sent to new homeowners to let them know about that.
