As a prospective resident (ok, most of you can stop reading now, lol) I find the deed restrictions an appealing feature of The Villages. Protecting property values is, of course, important but also just protecting and preserving the visual appeal of the neighborhood is important. I live in a deed restricted community now and I’m constantly amazed by people who buy a home, sign the 2 inch thick stack of papers agreeing to everything, then start complaining about it immediately. If people don’t like the deed restrictions in TV there are plenty of other places they can live without any constraints. I hear that Villagers move 3 times (on average). Maybe one of those moves should be outside the villages if you don't like the rules.
