I was 100% stunned when I heard this shortly after moving in. Oh go ahead and tell me to move since I refuse to drink the kool-aid!!! Oh and by the way, no one is suggesting neighbors be sent to a concentration camp. Those using a Nazi analogy have a complete disrespect for those that suffered under them, and sound like spoiled ANTIFA flakes.

A little angry, but I mostly agree The Villages/governing body needs to do the inspecting and enforcing. I read in another thread, that after someone moved in (and made no changes) got a letter telling them they were not in compliance. The governing body needs to keep everything in compliance, there can’t be “if it’s ok with your neighbors it’s ok” type of enforcement. Neighbors change, so if everyone on a block does the same thing for years and one new neighbor moves in and doesn’t like it and then reports everyone, they’re not Nazi’s, but it does cause ill feelings and keeps us creating threads like this one. Maybe the millions of miles that the Community Watch drives could help in enforcement, they see it all.
