I don't find the portable toilets offensive, they are there for a reason. We see them everywhere here in The Villages as people add on or do projects. It isn't a choice made by the homeowners or by the contractors. If Contractors didn't follow guidelines there would be a huge outcry, I would think.

We had three for some reason when our home was being built. We were on site every day and never noticed an odor. I do think they are frequently serviced. There is one now, down the street and it has been there for several months. No one ever mentions it. I can see it from our front porch.

I would hazard a guess that the reason they are near the street is that they are serviced.

An excellent response. Every word is spot on.
