Why is this sad? Is it nice to ignore the deed restrictions we all read, agreed to, and signed off at closing ? I think it's sad that people try to dodge the standards that keep TV a decent beautiful community. Read the restrictions before you buy, and if you can't live with them, buy elsewhere. If you don't read them before you close, shame on you.

we also have regulations for the usage of irrigation water (certain days of the week depending on your house number), when you can wash your car, that you must have your home power washed to get rid of the mold, weed pulling, mowing, lawn decorations, etc. but they are conveniently un-enforced. so, as far as signing off and accepting the deed restrictions, remember that if you decide to transact anything in your home you are violating the 'home business' part of the restrictions and I sure hope that a zealous neighbor is vigilant!

Actually, they all are enforced by a complaint driven system.

I sell my pieces to support my crafting/art habit. mostly made stain glass porch lights recently to match peoples stain glass doors.

I mean his sales were off site ie an internet service, couldn't be more neighbor friendly.

I was mostly wondering if a little more definition could be added to the rules no business activities at all is a little all encompassing and obviously not being followed. I mean you want some people like homewatch folks living in your community they are needed. I have a neighbor who is a house calls only vet. She has a van outfitted like a mini exam room but it is stored in her garage when she isn't working and she goes to her clients they don't come to her, doesn't affect the neighborhood at all but the way I read the rules she couldn't do that in TV. In some states Pick up trucks are taxed as commercial vehicles if they are full size pick ups so by that logic a person who has a full size truck that he uses to haul his boat or RV might be considered to have a business vehicle and not allowed. I'm just saying more clarification so when someone signs the rules they are clear what they are agreeing to might be in order. Just my hope.
