I did as you suggested and went up to the "north side of the villages." They must have changed their ways since you were there, or maybe some are just more easily offended by what others do with their OWN property. I assume that "extremely unsightly" is in the eyes of the beholder. Perhaps, I just have enough flaws of my own, that I don't notice others blemishes. Like I said above, those "friendly" folks of the Villages, must not frequent this forum. Or maybe I just have too many of my own faults that I do not notice those minute faults of others. Guess I am not the one to be the first to cast the first stone. Or maybe I just do not concern myself with my neighbors' business when they are not harming others. I am sure that some may find these minor infractions to be a major concern and worthy of the maximum enforcement, but I find it refreshing when I can see interesting imagination of someone's artistic endeavors. I apologize (actually I don't) for not conforming to the PC climate of this discussion. Just stating my opinion.
I pity those that ride around reporting infractions of the rules. I sincerely hope that something good happens in their lives to make them less miserable.
