I'm still trying to get it, but I don't.

If you think someone should check to see if TV privileges can be revoked for convicted felons, why don't you check to see.

But how does this differ from any other community? Can you give us an example of any community in the USA where neighbors or developers have the legal authority to keep felons from using neighborhood pools or parks or rec. facilities?
I know that special laws have been passed to restrict where sex offenders can live; but even then, special laws were required. Where ever the law does permit registered sex offenders to live, neither neighbors nor developers can tell them they can't live, the law be damned. Like it or hate it, we are a nation of laws.
Again, wishing we could mete out punishment of felons on our own and having the legal right to do so are two different things.
