On the other hand, the lack of "white crosses", flags, trees, or other decorations identifies a neighborhood where the residents are militant about rules and conformity. So if your lifelong dream is to have or be a Stepford Wife, you, too, can have the retirement of your dreams in The Villages!

Hmm? Are you suggesting that people move to TV for the purpose of intentionally breaking their word and break the rules? Sounds dishonest. Like you are denigrating honorable people and praising those who are less than honorable.
