Yeah, I know, they would be rolling in their graves.... Or at least that's what people who never met them write.
I'm not sure you quite understand what 55+ RETIREMENT COMMUNITY means. Sure, to many Villagers it means STAY OFF MY LAWN! But what it actually means is the Developer can legally refuse to sell a home to a family with children. What it DOESN'T mean is that I cannot use my home in any way I desire as long as I don't violate a law or a deed restriction. You may not like my music, you may not like the aroma of the meat I cook on my grill, you may not like the type of people I have over as guest, but as long as I don't break any laws it isn't up to you and it is not in any way restricted by living in a 55+ RETIREMENT COMMUNITY.
I have read most of the posts on this subject. I have asked a few times if those making claims about the nightmare home next door actually had a rental next door. I can remember only two writing that they did. There have been a lot of posts.... there have been two that seem to be writing from actual, personal experience.
Bad renters happen - so do bad neighbors. Bad renters leave after a week or a month or a half year. Bad neighbor/owners can remain much longer. I know there is at least one rental in my neighborhood and I know there is at least one bad neighbor. I much prefer the rental.
Bad renters happen - so do 30mph golf carts, lightning strikes, lithium battery fires, and dog poop. I would be willing to bet that MOST Villagers have not personally experienced any of these.
