I was visiting spec homes in November, checking models, trying to make those crucial decisions. No sooner did I step out to the lanai did I see the neighbor's huge satellite dish planted in his back yard sod, 10 feet from his lanai. Can you imagine how the real estate agent felt trying to sell this unit? Not only did the spec unit have no discernable back yard, because it was above ground, but facing it was a 24 inch dark gray disk at the property line. Aren't they any rules against this stuff?

I don't care how lovely the inside of any model is, when I sit on my lanai having my coffee, it's enough having to see a neighbor, let alone his hardware. I'd rather see a pink flamingo.

I want to move here as soon as I can get renters for my house in Los Angeles, good luck! But I have to be very careful in regards to some of the silliness I've seen just house hunting.
