Buc, I know that you are a fence advocate. I would never suggest that you move if you don't like the rules in TV. There is nothing wrong with trying to change existing covenants. And you're right that it would provide more choices than CYVs for those of us with dogs. But I don't see it happening. Ever. I just don't think there is enough resident support for the idea.

A Courtyard Villa wouldn't have been my first choice for a home, and I think they are overpriced in comparison to other homes. But I've grown very fond of our Villa, and the fence solves a multitude of problems.

We've adapted to the restrictions in TV by making it a priority to visit the Dog Park once or twice a day. It would make life easier for a lot of pet owners if there were dog parks provided in each quadrant of TV. It would also be a plus for those who don't enjoy dogs .. it would get the dogs off the streets and away from the postal stations.
