Actually, all that is needed is for consumers to
reject covenant communities, as I have always
done.

Yup - as long as those consumers know what they are getting into.

In more than a few places, the buyer doesn't know a house has covenants
unless they ask exactly the right questions and insist on the answers
in writing. Many folks live in houses with very restrictive covenants
without ever realizing it, because they don't do anything that violates
the covenants.

One of the ironies of all this is that covenanted properties tend to
appreciate in value more slowly than unrestricted ones. This makes them
less expensive - and more popular with buyers.
