It's completely the opposite. The Emperor who has no clothes, are those who don't understand and question the need for the (generally) well thought out and necessary Deed Restrictions.

There are no Deed Restrictions that are arbitrary, illogical, or without a basis in sound reasoning. The obvious goal, as is the goal of any zoning, HOA or neighborhood regulations, is to preserve the original intent of the neighborhood and protect residents from those who think they have the right to do whatever they want to do, regardless of their neighbors' opinions.

If someone wants to live somewhere without zoning, land use regulations or community standards, there are areas of the country (& Florida), where that's close to possible. Perhaps somewhere like that would be a better place for those folks to live.
