No, on the contrary -- I do like most palms and some of them are very beautiful.
But I do get tired of the repeated palm look that prevails
throughout most sections of The Villages.
Truthfully, I don't think much about the sound of the wind
through the palm fronds.
I much prefer the sound of chirping birds flying from one tree to another.
I also like the fact that trees provide shade and keep your house cooler.
