If one of the homes that make up the 20% of under 55 have a baby, are they forced to leave?

Only when villagers in the south stop thinking northerners are aggressive towards them. I failed to read one line in the OP that was aggressive.

Doubtful since internal deed restrictions don’t appear to be enforced.

Again, please show me the exception for special needs. I don't see it in my deed restrictions and I don't see it in the HoPA rules. If it's a law/rule/exception, where is it?

Now *that* is an interesting question.

Yes. And that access goes both ways...

Have you seen that stated somewhere?

I believe it is likely that it will be both ways but they *could* put in a gate with a card reader (and no red button) like the Paradise gate up north.

Yes it has happened. Another example a couple lost their daughter and took in their grandchild. They too were forced to leave.

It's a federal law no need to be in your documents. I know of several families in that situation.

Where is this law - citation please. Anti- discrimination in housing is a Federal law except HOPA overrides it. Where is this special needs law?

"I would like to move to your neighborhood with my 14 year old child."
"I'm sorry, we are a 55+ community and don't allow children."
"That can't be, the Fair Housing Act section <I will get this later> says you cannot discriminate based on familial status."
"Ah, but that same act, section <I will get this too>, comprise the HOPA exceptions to the anti-discrimination section and says we *can* discriminate based on familial status because we are a 55+ community."
"Be that as it may, my child is a special needs child and ___________ supersedes the HOPA exceptions."

What is the ________?

I'm not arguing that you are wrong, I'm just interested in what that law actually is.

Wonder if the truck drivers wave back. LOL.

I consider our home in "the north end" but we don't have any of the features you mentioned. None of my friends who live in designer homes in Mallory have those finishes either. I think you may be referring to homes in the historic section. No?

The family areas are part of the villages, yes they have their own amenities, but are in the village’s proper.

The post I originally answer was concerned about the Middleton kids drag racing, on the streets with cars and carts. My answer was there are within village proper, that have family villages already. Your posted my post didn’t make sense. Was it because you didn’t read the post I was quoting from? It happens a lot when someone doesn’t read entire post.We have 2 children that live in our old village.
There are all by state law, special needs that are allowed to live in the villages, we know of 3, under 13.

I agree with you, even if the historic side…….so what.



I must have fallen asleep and missed this post…..

Just where are these homes you speak of? I found this post very condescending.
