CFrance, you seem shocked. LOL

It comes down to asking yourself the following question:

Am I willing to give up an animal or my home?

If the answer is no to either, or both, then follow the rules.

Not at all. I appreciated the non-snarky explanation.

Deleted my original post. It was anger at the people who can't follow rules and I'll leave that tirade to myself.

Apply this question to a next door neighbor with a car up on cement blocks in his driveway.

So true. Many years ago we found a beautiful vacation home on a mountain in the Adirondacks. The view was spectacular if you looked past the home right below it that had old cars, refrigerators and other unidentifiable types of rusted machinery spewn on the property reminiscent of Tobacco Road. Needless to say, we did not buy!

I love having the rules here in The Villages. I don't want to live next to a kennel nor a Ceramic Pink Flamingo Farm.

Restrictions are put in place for all owners protection. If one rule isn't enforced then the balance are in jeopardy. We are given a disclosure package when we contract a home that we must agree to follow. If we don't agree we can be released from the contract.

Exactly!

Am I the only one that sees the irony in this. The individual is asking, before they move, if they will get caught violating the rules they will commit to? That is scary on many levels.

Oop's, should have said "just moved" not that would change anything.

Hey, at least they bothered to ask instead of being one of the few special people that assume the rules are for everyone else, like stop signs and speed limits being merely suggestions, or practicing "creative parking" all over the place.

Don't break the rule. If someone turned you in, and they have a perfect right to do it, then you and/or the dog would have to go.

There are teeth to all of our deed restrictions. We chose this place because of it.

I don't think the rule will be changed.

Rules are rules. Too often people break the rules and get away with it. Why have the rules then? I work in corrections. I know many many people who have broken rules... Peace Out!

No they don't. Not most. Some do and that is wrong.

That isn't even on the subject of this thread. Have a fresh cup of coffee. Happy up!
