Deed Compliance does have to be residents driven because it is our community, because there has to be a complaint before action can be undertaken and because the people who readily see the problems are the people living in the area.

For the sake of perspective how many residents receive compliments about the care of their properties. People by nature rather pay a compliment than criticize. Residents who fail to take care for their property place their neighbors in a very bad position.

With the purchase of my first home there was a next door neighbor of mine
whose actual quote about removal of snow was "God put it there God can take it away" It caused havoc . He never mowed his lawn until one day when talking with my neighbors we heard a lawn mower. sure enough he came around the back mowed right down the middle of his back yard, disappeared and then there was silence. He re-appeared with a putter and golf ball and proceeded to practice his putting where he had mowed one strip down the middle of his back yard. My neighbors and I could have used Deed Compliance back then

So in my view I like Deed Compliance and I want them to come down hard on violators or we are going to find some residents who will end up parking their cars on blocks in their driveways

I don't feel any shame for bringing up the subject. I am not even sure its the developer or his contractor. BUT why are they using a lot for storage, for many months, as they build out other homes in the area? I doubt they are allowed to. If I were next door to the storage lot I might complain. It only slightly irks me as I drive by everday.

Shame on YOU for attempting to shame me. ;)

Too many are too quick to defend the almighty Oz. They did a great job but are not perfect. If it did not help their bottom line they would not be upgrading anything.

Economics is economics. They look at the big picture. Even if they lost money on those historic rebuilds, it still helps their bottom line. Reputation and goodwill are part of picture. They dont want a slum in The Villages. No one said they have too. As a homeowner I should tow the line. I will never say anything bad about OZ again. After all my bottom line is my property value.

When you use the word, "allowed", it implies that there is someone from whom the developer would have to obtain permission. Who would that be?

Perhaps this is a new experience for some to live in a deed restricted area, but what seems like an annoyance to folks new to it, will find that deed restrictions promote a well maintained community and protects the investment of all of the folks living in it.


It would be easier if we paid someone's salary to report infringements but it would also be an added expense.


I think the person who made thirty reports may have done all a favor. Non compliant people are not sure if it is a neighbor who complained or a stranger.


Perhaps instead of complaining against being turned in, just remedy what is non compliant?

Most residents are very satisfied with having deed restrictions and sooner or later ( when folks sell their property) those who don't like them may see the benefits.
