One would think you knew pets are huge in the villages before you bought here. So now everyone else need to change for you?
The point of the post was not to suggest that anyone change. The OP never stated that. Yes, everyone loves their dogs and The Villages is chock a block full of them. We knew it and bought anyway for all the other reasons that everyone else does and with the hope that if a dog turns out to be a particularly unbearable nuisance the deed restrictions against such might offer somewhat of a remedy. All he/she asked was whether the idea of an option for a pet free village, for those who desired it and were willing to pay for it, was a viable idea. He didn’t suggest anyone get rid of their pets. He didn’t suggest anyone who wants to have pets would have to live there. But certainly there has to be a small amount of understanding that not everyone loves dogs and why can’t those people have an avenue to home ownership in this wonderful place that is absent of dogs, at least in their neighborhood. Not in any way unreasonable. This is still a free country. It seems the outcry is trending toward the dog owners being defensive to the point of insisting that everyone should have to tolerate dogs without complaint or question instead of recognizing it’s a win-win for everyone.
