TV reserved certain rights (took them out of the bundle and kept them). One of those "rights" they took away before selling the home/lot was everything included in the Deed Restrictions and Covenants.
A simple way to look at it (in reverse), is someone selling the mineral rights to their property, to an exploration company. The deal is, "I keep my land and home, but you Mr. Exploration company, have the right to harvest any diamonds buried under my dirt".
The same thing can happens in reverse. You can sell your land and retain the mineral rights. Just take it out of the "bundle" as TV did with their restrictions.
As for the "Dictatorship", cities, towns and states have an over-riding right and/or obligation to provide for the public good and can implement laws and regulations toward that end. You cannot dump a gallon of used motor oil in you backyard, that would violate the law. You could certainly sue when the state environmental agency stepped in and fined you, but you'd be fighting a losing battle.
Every Congress for the last 40 years, has faced gun control issues. Even the staunchest gun owners and defenders of the 2nd Amendment, have acquiesced to the implementation of *some* gun control laws.
The erosion of personal/individual rights, is well honored tradition of governments everywhere ... that's why we have governments. We make a trade. We give up certain rights to the government and in exchange, they do things for us (like build roads & defend our country). |
I think you are confused. No where, no way, no how, does any governing body have a right to impose laws without a legal cause to do so. The items you stated are legal because they are defined in laws. Our country is a democracy. People who live here are never stripped of their rights. Again, that would be a dictatorship. NYC changed the rules of STRs according to the law. They didn't just wake up one day and decide to rob their citizens. Although, to many, it appears that way. Good news Is anyone who disagrees with the new limitations has the right to fight in a court room. If they win, it is because NYC violated the law not because they were stripping anyone of their rights.You seem to believe the government has powers to do as they wish. That is completely wrong.
