With the number of homes in TV, it would take an enormous amount of man hours to complete this process. This would certainly be a big expense to all of us soooooo......complaint driven.
Of course we all want our communities to look lovely, that goes without saying. For the most part, the complain-driven process works well. If the residents of a street and a neighborhood are happy with the ambiance in their community, then let it be.

It would be very expensive to have draconian Violation Police constantly patrolling neighborhoods looking for violations and keeping track of exactly how long each house is displaying holiday decorations.

I doubt people want amenity fees increased to pay for this.
