2) to get privacy from ones neighbors (screens that may look like frosted glass) that are acceptable to the local architectural review board and is acceptable to ones neighbors?

Let me add a bit more info for clarity: We are looking at different properties for purchase and some could make or not-make the short list depending upon our ability to "acceptably" screen out some views of roads / tee boxes / close proximity neighbors / utilities / etc. We are outdoors people and hope to make the most of that in our home selection (outdoor pool and outdoor kitchen are highly desired by us).

I hope this frames the question well and allows for us (and others) to know the options available.

Thanks in advance!
In response to your 2), I believe you are referring to "Florida Glass", which is actually screen sandwiched between two pieces of vinyl. We have it on the lower sections of our birdcage and lanai. It's great for privacy in the pool. There are limitations as to how much can be installed (per code). It does not allow wind to pass through.
