In fact I don't really notice what other people are doing, unless it is outrageous.

What would really bother me would be a loud TV on someone's open lanai, loud music at their private pool, outside parties several nights a week ..........

I do, however, get very annoyed that we cannot seem to do anything to help the people who live next door to abandoned properties, that really is disgraceful and is far more egregious than an ornament in someone's yard!

We lived through having a foreclosed on home right behind us for almost 3 years! Constantly having to complain because of weeds sometimes 3 set high and all we got rom the VCDD or anyone else was it was bank owned and they could do nothing about it! Finally into the second year someone came to cut the grass etc. now and then.
