A simple, easy-to-follow suggestion here, Tojo:

 Re-read Dawn's original post.  Such a reading will hopefully clear many of the apparent misconceptions you're harboring regarding what you seem to feel are ambiguities within the Covenants. 

First of all MBL I don't break the covenant rules, and second I know how to read! I have NO problems with the covenants!!! But when someone says they are going to make the street I live on no parking on both sides of the street, I now have a problem. All I can invision are these two streets with ugly No Parking signs up and down it! Are these signs going to read no parking anytime? Do any of the folks who decided that they can't inforce the covenat rules live on these two streets? If signs go up just to inforce the covenants, I want signs on ALL streets in our sub-division!!! Making these two streets no parking just makes it easier for the taffic and future trafic with Persimmon going all the way though, to be able to speed! I find that to be more unsafe then having a couple of cars parked in the street!

Never mind, this is going noware.  See this is what I mean about these posts, they get nothing accomplished except making people mad! 

TONY

Tony, I custom-built in this subdivision five years ago, and knew the Covenants top-to-bottom even before my ground was leveled and my foundation poured.  Fact is, I decided to live here largely because the Covenants stated that I would be living in a neighborhood whose streets would be free from unnecessarily parked automobiles and undue street congestion.  This particular clause within the contract was one of the primary motivators behind my choice.  Not that I love no-parking signs; it's just that I intensely loathe neighbors who know the rules, knowingly and repeatedly violate them, and subsequently whine like spoiled children when called on their obstinacy, their stupidity, or their inexplicably abject refusal to cooperate or obey pre-existing rules.

 Those who desire street-parking should choose a neighborhood whose environs are already traffic-choked.  This is a simple argument, my friend:  The ability to understand the Covenants doesn't require the intellect of a rocket-scientist, only a fundamental ability to read standard English and a sincere desire to cooperate or play well with others.
