"Apparently, enforcing these deed restrictions doesn’t sync up with maximizing the demand pool of potential home buyers for the new homes they are building as fast as they can. Makes one wonder why they have deed restrictions at all, when they choose to selectively enforce them."

We read about this more than we like-- violations that are in the developer's bailiwick but not addressed. But perhaps some have been. If the developer would make public violations they enforced (again, if any), doing so might serve notice to other rule-breakers and give the rest of us a bit of confidence that the developer cares. Otherwise, as the OP said, what's the point of having these rules?

True, but there is no way that an illegal party scammer would allow their customers to be video recorded on a Ring doorbell. They could just come in the back door. I have even noticed that, since I got a Ring doorbell, the Amazon delivery people often try to avoid the camera. Go figure.

I can't imagine watching a porn flick starring a 75 year old and a 83 year old. The hi-lite would be when they take off their depends.

This problem seems common place.

That deadly sin--lust-- really gets around. Just ask John the Baptist.

Not sure why a Amazon person would try to avoid cameras, ours takes a picture of every package, and his reflection from front door capture them. UPS and FedEx don’t take pics, but why hide, their name is on the delivery route

I regular Amazon guy waves at our cameras and says have a great day.

And this is why you hire a management company…especially is you’re absent. We were in the RE business for years and still amazes us how people get cheap at a stupid time.

I don't know. Maybe it is just my perception. But, usually, my camera doesn't capture the delivery person, but does capture other visitors. They do take a photo of the package. I get Amazon packages 3 or 4 times a week, but I don't have a regular Amazon person. On another thread, many posters said that the Amazon person rings their doorbell, like they are supposed to do. But, they never ring my bell or knock.

Wonder if class action suits would help put a fire under the Wizzard of OZ's a@#?

The only way to prevent it is to prohibit short term rentals and to actually enforce it.

The developer should enforce regulations on rentals. Why not send the Morse family your concerns intead of writing to Talk of the Villages? Perhaps they are unaware of the issues.
