That still sells houses to the cornhuskers who need to see the same thing over and over.
Sorry, place is getting too big to still cater to people from Mayberry.

Its a city now..

We need diversity
When we bought here, we were presented with the covenants/restrictions which we CHOSE TO READ before we signed on the dotted line. There was no one with a gun to our head, nor were we given 5 minutes to review the paperwork-our obligation before signing a legally binding document was to read and understand, and if we didn't agree, then JUST SAY NO to buying here.

There were no guarantees anywhere in the documents that The Villages would stop building, nor was there an exclusion based upon race, creed, political affiliation, or sexual orientation (throw in any I may have forgotten since I would have remembered them HAD THEY BEEN LISTED). The restriction that we were presented with was that this was an age restricted community (55+) and that people under 19 could not live here. So what diversity is needed?

One always has the option to sell their home and move elsewhere if one finds these deed issues too restrictive, since there are people, myself included, who moved here in part BECAUSE OF these covenants.
