No one is justified in having an expectation that no 'changes' - often called 'progress', and granted that depends one's sentiments - can take place; that everything must always stay the way it has always been; or the way it was when they moved here.

I wonder how the popular sentiment as expressed here would change if "progress" meant that as more baby boomers move in that the Rec Department decided that for the sake of progress they would allow bop-til-you-drop outdoor parties with live bands at all of the neighborhood pools and rec centers? This is just a logical extension of "progress" as what is being advocated here for the CCs.
Look, TV benefits from being a planned community and for the most part it is very well planned. Central to this plan was the concept of town squares where people could shop, dine and find plenty of entertainment - both indoors and out. Also part of this plan was a series of distributed country clubs primarily for golf but also dining and light entertainment. However, unlike most country clubs around the country, these were placed in very close proximity to residential neighborhoods. Because of this, late night entertainment in CCs is not part of the plan - this is relegated to the town squares.
Now, in the guise of "progress" it seems that people are too lazy to want to take a 5 or 10-minute drive to a town square for their entertainment and instead want to change the plan - even if it trespasses on the rights of homeowners who bought based on a plan being carried out and enforced. What is troublesome is that to carry this out they stir up sentiments with false allegations of "curfew" and allegations that the TV lifestyle is being curtailed - when this is patently false.
