It all looks fine to me and I don't let small things bug me. If you wish to spend up all your bonus years complaining about what everyone else is doing that makes them happy, then you do not deserve those extra years. Go back to work where you can feel good about yourself when you are bossing the little guys around. Personally, I plan to be a good neighbor and do as much for my neighbors that I can before cashing in. Sorry, but I have no respect for those that complain about other folks personal property. I have yet to see any homes here with rusted out trucks or cars up on blocks in their yards. I have looked all over the Villages and have not found one home that I would complain about. I may not choose the same colors, plants, yard ornaments or cars, but I enjoy interesting quirks and imaginative personalization.
It will take a lot before I will ever make a complaint, and then I will sign my name to it. It would take something like a home looking like Bates Motel before I think it might concern me. And before anyone insinuates that my home is probably a mess, I have had plenty of folks stop by and tell me how nice my landscaping looks to them.
But, even though I might not agree with you, I still wish you a great week and a happy stay in The Villages. Hope some of the "Friendliest" rubs off on you all.

Another one I would've given a "rep" to but can't because the feature doesn't exist. And so I have to waste a post saying "thanks!" and "I agree."
