Someone said that a dark home makes their eyes bleed? Seriously? Come on, it's none of anyone else's business the color of your home. Maybe I don't like red cars. So what, it's none of my business what color car....or home you live in.
If it is not against any "rules" here in the villages, then you can cry your eyes out about how you don't like the color and it won't matter a lick.
Someone else said that there are more important things to worry about today. KUDOS, you are absolutely right and these petty folks that worry about the color of your home, probably worry about the color of your roses also, or what you dietary menu might be.
I personally like dark colored homes and like to see what kind of trim color they might choose. So many different combinations.

The Villages, old folks elephant graveyard. Where old folks go to wait out and complain about others until their demise.

I'd rather leave this life happy and care free than grumpy, angry, depressed and nasty. The Villages is supposed to the the place where folks live the life that they worked so hard all their life, dream of. When I die, I plan to have a smile on my face.

I won't be smiling if I have to look at what appears to be a black home across the street. That is for sure!!!!
