But courtesy and tolerance is supposed to go both ways. For example, there are plenty of gated communities around. They have stringent rules. People who buy homes there are, or should be, aware of this fact. In a case like that, no one has a right to complain. On the other hand, say you have 150 acres in a mountain community. Some in the community may have more, others may have less. People let their dogs roam freely. Everyone knows this, and everyone even knows everyone else's dogs names. New people move in to the community. And at the next community meeting, they propose making people stop letting their dogs roam. They knew before they moved here about the dogs. But they moved here anyway. Then tried to change things. Who should have the priority in this case?
* Interesting true fact: This happened at our community meeting, which is held at the fire station. The roll up door is usually left open for these meetings. While the new resident was orating on the evils of loose dogs, one of the loose dogs wandered in, went up to his table, lifted his leg at the table leg, and, having voiced his opinion as it were, casually sauntered out. Hilarious does not begin to describe.*
