The Villages would have been a modern and young looking place if metal had been used on all roofs for the past 30 years. Really nothing different here than in 90% of the humdrum cookie-cutter homes throughout the US.

Yeah, they're more expensive; but they last longer, more energy efficient, and better storm protection.
If you look at townhouses around Spanish springs you will see all three with different colors on same townhouses. Shingles, tile, and metal, all mixed colors. Looks like _____ to me.
