I think Bogie's posts are to the point and helpful. He likes to keep us on track.

Bogie was just responding to Shesamax and pointing out a truth. The truth is that there isn't anyone "official" who will report someone who is breaking the rules on lawn ornamentation except other villagers who see it. Community Watch is not reporting people.

But there are times I have seen artificial flowers stuck in the ground and almost reported complete strangers. Some things are just ugly. Real flowers grow so readily here, that artificial ones in their place just always make me grit my teeth. I didn't and I wouldn't report that..... but that is an example.

We just drove old friends around The Villages this afternoon. They had never been here and their comments were directed to how neat and orderly and clean and nice everything looked. I don't think it would as nice without those restrictions. I like deed restrictions. I have lived with them for years and they make this place just beautiful.
