I’ve been thinking the same thing. Who does the allowing? 

Enforcing things in a residential context is more like figuring out what works 
and what doesn’t work given the particular people who live in your particular 
community. While there are many commonalities and ideas sweep across from 
community to community, it is more like figuring out how you get things done 
with the resources you have. And eliminating those things you can’t handle or 
do as well as you would wish. It’s a developmental process. Then the 
neighborhood changes and you start over again.
