We came back to our new home in Hadley when we first lived here part time to find literally dozens of little "gookies and gee gaws and ceramic thingys " in the yard of a very near neighbor. I quickly phoned community standards and told them.
One of the reasons many of us chose the Villages is because of deed restrictions. I find that the anonymous reporting may be chicken to some but far easier for others. I don't see anything WRONG about someone seeing something in another neighborhood obviously not allowed and reporting it. That doesn't make my skin crawl at all.

I agree wholeheartedly. In our former neighborhood, we had a very volatile guy across the street who allowed weeds to take over, never trimmed shrubs and rarely had his lawn mowed. Do you think I’d go over and tell him to abide by the rules? Hell, no! The current system worked perfectly and no one needed to live in fear of retaliation.
