In today's world you can sign anything, then say "oh, I didn't know that is what that meant". I don't think the fact people signed something means they are going to abide by those restrictions - they signed it to close on their house cause if they didn't they wouldn't get the keys.

I will protect my property value, but believe that allows for deviation from the deed restrictions. If I see something I don't like I will report it - just as if I do something someone doesn't like they will report it. It's ridiculous to think people will report something so they are abiding by the document they signed - my guess would be most aren't even aware of this provision in the deed restrictions. Why report something that doesn't offend you??? to follow a document you signed???
