As I stated above a lot of it demands tolerance of other people's likes, viewpoints and actions. My wife and I personally like orginal garden art and enjoy seing the expressions of individuality within the communities South of 466. For that reason we would not consider a move North of 466 and subject ourselves to the dreaded secret lawn police (a.k.a The Troll Patrol). On the other hand, we have seen many gosh awfull driveway designs on both sides of 466 with characters, designs, and colors that really detract from the home and the neighborhood as a whole. But, each to their own, it is all in the eye of the beholder (or, maybe the home owner).
Anyway, if we all wanted plain mediocre white , we would have bought in a high rise condo. Even then someone would probably ruin it all by wanting to put their name plate on a door!
