I'm all for fencing and anything we as owners can do to change the dumb restrictions would be great. I appreciate the privacy and, in fact, it would save a lot of complaints about dog walkers in the neighborhood if home OWNERS not the developer decided what they wanted on their property.

If you really feel that way, why did you buy here? The rules were set long before you arrived and you knew what they were. That just makes no sense to me. There are thousands of other places where you can put a fence around your property. Go there. When you look for a place to buy, look at the rules, the restrictions, the way it is set up. If you like what they offer, great. But if you don't, go someplace else. Don't buy and then try to change it, or complain about what they are. I just do not understand when someone thinks that way.

Hi Florlrl,
For the most part, I think home OWNERS did decide when we chose to live in a community with strict deed restrictions. They help preserve the gorgeous panaroma that is TV.

Deed restrictions are such big factor (most of us think benefit) of TV, that it is hard to understand why anyone opposed to them would choose to live here. Not only did we agreed to the deed restrictions when we purchased, the developer and CDD's agreed to enforce them.

Many people do think deed restrictions are dumb, so they live in communities that don't have them. Is it right to move to a community where they are promised to everyone for the beauty of the total community, and then seek to have them overturned?

Back in the day, all horses were supposed to look the same. Along came someone who wanted to change the design, a committee was formed, and the result was a camel. You want to talk about ugly??

Change is part of life, a person has a right to try to change rules that they disagree with, But elling someone to live someplace else is rude.

The posts explaining that the restrictions are in place here when you consider choosing a retirement home were stated clearly and strongly worded but I don't think that they were meant to be rude.

We have lived in areas with a lot of restrictions for many years and find that it works for us and we are used to it. I think that the people who most want fences are the dog owners but I see that many, many people successfully and happily own dogs here. So just as in any other decision, it is wise to gather as much information as possible first.

Or.............as the old saying goes. "Marry in haste. Repent at leisure".

And Buc...I agree that we live in a free country, where we can try to effect change if we want, but this little bit of it is a benign dictatorship.

Long live the Morses!

Totally Agree! If you want fences buy a CYV like we did for our dog. But otherwise NO FENCES in TV!!

Well said Army Guy!!!

I don't understand people buying into a community that has rules and restrictions and wanting to change them for their own good. We moved here knowing these rules and restrictions existed and we were happy with them - at least most of them. But we can live with all of them.

For a variety of reasons, it could be a budget issue for some.
