I don't have a problem with the fox or the Budda. How my neighbor personalizes their yard is their preference, NOT mine. I find it very immature that anyone finds fault with what others do, and think that some need to grow up and quit being the kid that snitches on his sister (or brother) just to make trouble. And that is ALL it is, just someone wishing to make trouble. Most complaints are not even from the neighbors.
By the way, some deed restrictions demand that you get prior approval before modifying ANY landscaping, to include any new gardens and shrub planting. Those that complain are the ones with the problems, and I do not believe it has anything to do with how someone decorates their homes. It's likely just how the Villages did not live up to their expectation of Utopia that they thought they were moving into.
If you mind your own business you will find that you AND your neighbors will live a happier, more enjoyable stay in The Villages.
