Thematic communities are being developed around many things. In our valley we have a riding/horse community, several golf communities, at least one that requires you to be over 55 years old with no resident children, etc. While I think a dog community makes sense, I would only feel good about it if the permissions/restrictions were in the CCR's and not in some city or county zoning ordinance. For any group of people to live together with a theme or purpose seems graet, but when the government controls by zoning or ordinance it can be a different story. That is, once there is a zoning for dogs, will that mean that no one can have a dog unless it is zoned for it? Why am I so cynical about governmental officials???
