I have no problem with someone who has the time reporting violations...those who move here are subject to the rules, deed compliance, lawn ornaments...whatever...it's simple...you move here knowing there are rules...why come here knowing you're going to break them? Just follow the guidelines and it's no problem...don't like them then don't move here...I like the rules and regulations and it's a reason why I moved here and I hope they keep up the strict adherence...

To be fair I have not read every post on this long Thread so I may repeat what,another has already posted. When we closed on our house, neither the agent or anyone explained the Convenants in our village. Reading them is rather boring and Not a high priority for somebody moving----I see a lot of violations apparently are in the new Villages.

This may be part of the problem---residents just don't know what the "restrictions" are.

I too agree. We bought here because we loved the way it looked. We've all lived somewhere else where this wasn't the case. I know what I prefer and I hope it stays that way.

Not only are they allowed but we have entire neighborhoods that decorate. One of our fun activities at Christmas is to travel by golf cart to see the decorations. We have seen many good ones so far, but not one approaching Chevy Chase's Christmas Vacation. Are you up to that? HOORAY!

Not really... I'm kind of on the fence.

Be careful not to let it hurt you.

Well, that's your fault if you didn't read what you were signing. If I'm signing my name and agreeing to anything, that's a priority for me. Just sayin'. They tell you when you do your paperwork. Here are the deed restrictions !!

Please don't assume that applies to everybody.

Let me see. Someone moves to the wonderful Villages community which is well groomed and maintained. They buy a home, sign an agreement they will keep up the great standards and then they proceed to fill up their yard, etc. with things that are offensive to some residents and violate the document they signed to keep our standards up. One mans treasurer is another mans junk. AAH, after being called on this violation they blame the lousy person who reported them for junking up The Villages. Who is to blame, (a) the person who signed an agreement and then violated it or (b) the person who held them to their word??
You make the call !!
