I was told quite recently that Lady Lake is passing an ordinance to stop crape murder, but I have not looked into it to know whether this is just hearsay or truth.

So true... My neighbor has someone cut back his CM yearly and they look like twigs with a couple of flowers. During the Summer TV is alive with color thanks to CM's.
