We just bought in TV. A significant consideration in our decision was the existence of strong deed restrictictions and architectural control. We love the ambience and want to preserve it. I find the whining about the protective controls including speed limits for golf carts to be annoying. There are plenty of places to live in Florida if you desire to have neighbors with pickup trucks in the front yard and race tracks in the front street.

I have found that when developers complete the project and relinquish control to the carry on owners group, the folks administering the rules get worn down by the whiners and give in. We become our own worst enemies. I and I hope others who feel that the rules are important will retain the will to resist the easy answer.
