Tempest in a Teapot, methinks!
Yes, I agree that signs in yards are distasteful. I also think that there are ways around the "objectionable" signs!
In my friend's quite up-scale community near Nashville, political signs are banned, as are virtually all others. But, for sale signs are permitted - so long as they are uniform in appearance and content. No glaring, blaring push for Realtor X, no yelling for Realtor Y. Just a quiet, tasteful announcement, in same-case lettering, that this is house is being offered by Realtor Z, call ###.
The issue will eventually be resolved and the agitated folks will forget it; the dismayed folks will be happy, and we will all be able to get on with our lives!
Isn't that the best way???????????
