Living in paradise enjoy it, protect it, cherish it!
The crosses in my neighborhood were here when we started looking for houses to buy in this neighborhood last September. The virus hadn't arrived yet. They are a religious symbol, which again - is offensive to me, but isn't a big enough deal to DO anything about it. I moved to this part of the Villages, partly, because of fewer restrictions. I'll take the good with the bad, it's that wiggle-room for creative expression that I appreciate. Even if I don't like the white crosses. It's just a matter of taste. Like the house with the toilet seat in his driveway and a ridiculous hand-written sign on it that says "[political candidate's] world" on it, implying that the political candidate's world is down the toilet.

Tacky and ridiculous, but that says more about the neighbor than it does about the neighborhood.
