A beautiful, professionally painted mural has to go, but a yard covered in [insert whatever politics here] flags is somehow more aesthetically pleasing.
It doesn't change my opinion about anything. It just confirms that tacky people will bend over backwards to make sure everyone knows exactly how tacky they are.

May I respectfully say that the mural in question, though painted by a professional, seemed pretty tacky to me. I wouldn’t want it in my neighborhood. It belongs inside the house, not on a garage door for everyone to, um, enjoy.
Every homebuyer in The Villages is given a photocopy of the deed restrictions for the given Village—and none of them allow murals on garage doors. Each homebuyer signs a form saying the restrictions have been received and read. So the woman who had this done signed something without reading it. Legally, she can’t say she didn’t know. She will have to remove the mural, or she could install a new garage door and have the old one mounted on her living room wall.
I agree with you that political signs on lawns are even tackier.
