I think I know what tacky means.
Even garage sales in The Villages are limited to just that--your garage. Nothing is supposed to be in the driveway or anyplace other than the garage.
TV has its own definition of tacky, and the restrictions we sign up for are preventative. Although I don't know what the restrictions are in your area, I believe this area was south of your area.
If there's stuff like this all over the place in people's yards all the time, it is going to lower the home values. What I'm saying is that if one person gets away with it, it encourages others, and pretty soon things could get out of hand. I signed the restrictions; I'm sticking with them. I want my neighborhood and TV to be free of the ugly stuff.

I agree with your sentiments exactly.
There are a number of homeowners (whose rear houses face major streets like Pinellas and Hillsborough) that put their carts for sale on their back lawns. Community Standards is lax in enforcing this deed restriction. These homeowners also exhibit their carts on the weekends since they know the inspectors do not work on weekends and therefore cannot catch them...it starts as a trickle...
