Good explanation, may help some understand. Seems a lot of people do get "rules", "deed restrictions", and "laws" all mixed up in their minds... Most, or many, do not seem to know the federal 80% law even exist, and also that in the final analysis, the local police officers are NOT responsible for enforcing the "rules" and "restrictions". Relatives in planned "retirement" communities in other states tell us confusion also runs rampant in their communities. Aways asking WHO is responsible for ENFORCING the "gate law", who "let's these people in without a resident I.D. they say... and yet, it's exactly like it is in the villages, the roads are NOT private. They tell us the residents of their community also no not understand that there really is not specified enforcement entity...and, the local police are always being called on to take care of things like this: "they have children at ......, they need to leave, they have been here all summer, you need to send an officer to take care of it... I CALLED the HOA and they don't take care of that so we need an officer.... and so on. Just saying, we are not alone with residents who are not clear about many things in age restricted communities.
