Great to see Yuka! Interesting things in today’s video - from jumping spiders to above-ground “pools.”

A downside to deed restrictions though is that there isn’t any available process to revise them. For example, many subdivisions built in the 1980’s had restrictions on antennas, especially dish antennas. The restrictions were aimed at the 7 foot dishes that were available then. Now, the restrictions cause owners problems if them want to install the much smaller dish antennas of today.

Interesting, I didn’t know about that! I guess all the more reason to carefully consider what you’re agreeing to when purchasing. I would presume if all the owners who share the deed restrictions unanimously agree to a change, it could happen, although maybe even that itself would need to be written into the deeds.
Actually one thing I don’t like are some of the new deed restricted properties where either a board or a plurality of owners can vote to change pretty much anything, and majority rules. That would prevent the problem you mentioned above. However, I lived in a place like that once, but I wouldn’t again, because I don’t like majority rules.
