Classic verbiage that appears to say one thing but actually has virtually no information content at all. 

If 1,000 homes are for sale, and 990 of them have restrictions, the statement is factually correct – “the record does not indicate that amateur operators are unable to find homes that are not subject to such restrictions.”  In fact, that statement is factually correct as long as there are at least two homes not subject to restrictions.

Attached is the FCC Report to Congress Pursuant to Section 6414 of the Middle Class Tax Relief and Job Creation Act of 2012.

I have not yet read the entire document carefully but the following sentence jumped out at me from paragraph 39: “Moreover, while commenters suggest that private land use restrictions have become more common,86 our review of the record does not indicate that amateur operators are unable to find homes that are not subject to such restrictions.”

They must be looking at a different record.
