Well said.

I guess that is what bothers me - if you don't want to live in a deed
restricted community, then don't. OTOH, if you buy into a deed
restricted community then you should be prepared to comply with the
restrictions. It bamboozles me how some people move into a community
with voluntary restrictions and then proceed to bitch all day about
their lot in life, or worse, say things like "all HOA's are bad and
should be banished".

Have a nice day.
