Um. Sorry, I got carried away.

Now THAT is the funniest thing I've read all day. Thanx! LOL

As the “inmates” take charge of the “asylum” unusual and sometimes very unnecessary “things” happen. It happens in most retirement communities.

I have no idea why flowers too close to the road are non-compliant. It may be something as simple as trying control front yard lawn appearance.

Is "big people pants" code for "adult diapers"?

What if it's a woman who filed the complaint?

Actually, give them the "stinkeye". But it would allow me to know which neighbor is a tattle tale and guard my privacy accordingly.

Or drag a gator to their front door.

I'd offer to have my dog poop on their lawn if it would help...

So many of the so-called Covenants need to be repealed and totally removed. An organization needs to be created within The Villages to concentrate solely on this worthy task. Citizens are being harassed by senseless rules passed by previous controlling idiots.

Seriously, this triggers you? Get help.

If you buy into the rules, you don't get to pick and choose which ones you want to follow and which ones you want to ignore.

Did you ever raise children? Did you allow them to choose which of your rules they had to abide by and which they could ignore?

Good post.

In general, "plantings" are prohibited in Rights of Ways and/or easements, because whoever is the beneficiary of the Easement or owner of the ROW, doesn't want to be responsible, particularly if they have to dig it up to do repairs or whatever may occur. (There are obviously are other reasons, but what I mentioned is typical.)

there are too many existing violations that they know about. they would rather hide behind "I didn't know" rather than have to disclose to potential buyers. Village agents aren't fiduciary - of course their best interest is high commission.
