We bought in 2005. That was before it was complaint driven and I swear everyone was told everything had to be removed.
In some cases it was very expensive sculptures that looked beautiful. Your grass had to look perfect and no stones were allowed. Now we look at all the stuff allowed and we remember what we had to throw away when everything was too much. My neighbor had 6 inch bunnies and were told they had to go...
We all thought it strange that community watch seemed to be just lawn police. If you called about a burglary taking place, they would tell you a shift change was coming and it would be an hour before anybody came! No burglary takes 2 hours.
I think it is better today....This place just got too big to keep looking for 6 inch bunnies. Now it seems a lot depends on your neighbors. But telling on each other is never a good idea, to make for happy neighbors.
