There are no laws against walking your dog on a leash, but common sense says that you shouldn't let your dog poop in somebody's yard. But people do it and there is nobody to enforce anything. Yet some people think it's okay.

What is common or sensible to one is never exactly the same to the next person. So, who decides??????????

I think it is a case of common courtesy as well as common sense.

Common sense: trying not to do anything to create an unsafe condition.

Common courtesy: trying not to do anything to inconvenience neighbors.

BTW, some time ago I drove through our entire village to prove a point to a friend. I saw one car parked on the street and very few in driveways. That told me there is a lot of common sense and common courtesy practiced in The Villages.

TH,

You are spot on - so TV (including Development Districts) decides on what common sense/common courtesies should be applied.

I think Downeaster has it 100% right.

The extra parking in the CYV areas is designated parking for owner's invitees or guests. Unfortunately it is often (mis)used as "overflow" parking so when guests arrive they have no where to park but in the street. The streets in CYVs are not public and deed compliance will come talk with you if you park on those streets and someone complains.

(I reviewed a number of the CYV Declaration of Restrictions and although they vary slightly those I reviewed generally read as follows: "Temporary parking depicted on the plat of the Subdivision is not for the Owner's use but is for the use of Owner's invitees or guests.")

TH - just because they are public roads doesn't mean the local jurisdiction can't impose no parking rules. I imagine in this case that jurisdiction would be Sumter Co itself not TV. But local covenants (like the ones mention in the CYV sections) seem like a good idea.

We have many streets in my community that have strict no parking rules. People get towed all the time.

I agree, the local jurisdiction can make such rules. My point is that there are no such rules at this point. There are no "no parking" signs, there is no night hours restriction. Until such a time that there is, each individual will have to decide what "common sense" is and apply his/her version of it.

No jurisdiction can enforce rules that don't exist.

I had a neighbor, in the Villages, who would come out of his house and scream @@##%&##@@ whenever a service truck would park on the street in front of our house and any portion of it would protrude past the property line to his. On the public street mind you. I mean real sophomoric stuff.....".....get that @$#%$#$ truck away from in front of my %$#@ house."

Common sense???

No, just frustration - from (possibly) unenforceable regulations.

The opposite of this is SABR who appears to oppose all the regulations. I wonder how he would feel living next door to us if I decided to add a shed and some goats to the far end of my lot. And played disco 24/7 to keep the goats happy. And invited my son's starving artist friends to share the barn with the goats....And encouraged them to create original percussion rhythms during the nighttime hours...

I always believed the streets in CYV neighborhoods were not public. I believe the community owns and maintains the streets in CYV neighborhoods and therefore makes the rules.

You can park your car on the street, day or night. Overnight,as long as you want. You will not receive a ticket. Again you can park on the streets. Have been parking on the street for three years. They suggest you park in the garage or driveway.Do not want to put a 1000 degree car in that hot garage that close to where I live.

[Tbugs]

What is a "1000 degree car"? Your garage is meant to house a car. Why in the world would you not want your car in the garage? Instead of exposing the car to the outdoor elements all day and all night, it makes sense to put it inside the garage. Have you seen all the pollen in the springtime on your car? Not good for the paint at all. How about the fading effects of the sun on the paint?

My thought process says if you spend $25,000 on a car, why not take care of it and keep it in your garage?

[paulandjean]

The cars paint will be fine.Really not that important to me.If I had a garage away from the home I would use the garage.Do not like the car being 10 feet away from me when I am home.Thats why. Plus whats wrong with the street. Streets are for cars and trucks.Trust me they where not built for golf carts.
