I'll worry about deed restrictions when someone else is responsible for the mowing and landscaping. If I am responsible, then I do it my way. Don't like it? Mind your OWN business. My neighborhood has very little restrictions, as it is an older section. We do not see any homes for sale longer than a week or two and they all sell much higher than when purchased. Interesting how every section of the Villages has a different set of restrictions. And some restrictions have been changed by neighborhood consensus using a petition, such as home color or driveway color or adding shutters. One restriction does not fit all areas. No one seems to care about golf carts blowing through STOP signs, because it's no big deal. It's a law that is often overlooked by neighbors, yet a minor little cross is a great offense.
