LOVE IT!!! lol
The thing about the Villages that bothers me is how the rules differ from north of 466 to south of 466. This is 'THE' Villages, not 2 separate towns. Even the newspaper puts out 'The Mix' (north and south), so if my northern Villages friends are pictured in 'The Mix', I don't get to see or read about them. Why the division?

As they grew they tweaked things and changed things that worked better.

Cart paths are separated from major roads after a time, etc.

Sometimes change is a good thing. :icon_wink:

Read the last section of any district's covenants, and you will see that we all have an obligation to see that they are enforced up to and including litigation. We are ALL obliged to protect our property value.

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???
