small lots, lack of shopping in the south, driving to fast or slow, south doesn’t feel like the villages, because there are no waterfalls, southern oaks is too expensive, a $4 cookie, mediocre food, can’t have white cross in my yard, or my dead pet, no public transportation, grandkids, adult kids, rv garage without permission, and no Costco, Trader Joe’s, Whole Foods, or if you are a snowbird, snowflake.

So you see by the list, your comments of “Now everyone else needs to change for you” fits pretty much everyone in TV.

Just because someone doesn’t agree with one’s lifestyle, shouldn’t mean they can’t live where they choose.. last I noticed TV is still in the US.
I may not like your ————— but it doesn’t give me the right to tell you to leave, anymore than you should be told to leave. Not everyone gets great neighbors, but it is one of the reasons people move 2,5 times in TV

I like dogs better than I like people. I don't care if they are in stores, sitting at the table whatever, I am happy just seeing them. That said, I think a dog free village is a great idea if it would cut down all the whining about dogs.

That last part was a major grievance where I used to live. Many complained on the messes left behind. Despite all the signs requesting to please clean up, most pet owners just didn't bring that little bag for their dogs. I maybe saw 1 person do that the 10 years I lived there. The grass was off limits for me in that sense. Stay on the path!

3) people who are neutral - they don't care either way.

I am attempting to come up with a solution where all sides are satisfied. Would it be possible to have one of the new villages be pet-free? You would know going in that you couldn't have a pet and that none of your neighbors could have one.

This would seem to satisfy all parties. If you loved pets, you would probably have more neighbors with pets in those villages that allowed pets. If you didn't love pets, you would live in a village where pets are not allowed - people from an adjacent village could not walk their dogs in the pet-free villages.

And if you are neutral on pets, you could decide if you wanted to live in a village that allowed pets or you could decide if you wanted to live in a pet-free village. This would seem to be a win-win-win. You could live where you wanted and everyone should be satisfied.

But would it work?

And don't mention "service" dogs. Those harnesses came be bought on the internet.

I was in Walmart not so long a long where we witness a young father with 3 kids walking around with a python
around his tattooed neck.
Really smart Walmart.

I know you mean well in your attempt to solve this issue, but we do not do anything here as a result of a popular or unpopular vote.

And I further offer that as soon as someone would move into a non pet village, a little stray kitten would come meowing at their door. Or their child had to move to London for graduate school and couldn't take her pup.

I love almost all animals. Not fond of alligators and snakes. We have two kittys. We had three for several years and got away with it. (They always stayed inside.)
