Yard ornaments and junk
 

How can it be that yard ornaments are wisely not allowed, but yet an owner can have an entire yard chock full of about 50 different, scroungy cactus plants that look like a big junkyard??

Why are neighbors and guests made to look at such an eyesore, right on the street and sidewalk? It’s a community embarrassment!

I know exactly the property you are talking about. It is a backyard which faces a busy street. This backyard has had these cactus plants for a few years.

So then...either:
a) nobody has complained to ARC; or
B) this is acceptable after complaints were made?

I'll vote for "B". Looks kinda like the Southwest, kinda neat.:coolsmiley:

The one on Odel. It looks like crap.

I think it’s exempt since it’s the home’s backyard. I agree, looks terrible.

I love the look, reminds me of Arizona

So....Arizona looks like an eyesore and a junkyard, and that’s how TV should be also?!?

I live near the house with the cactus and I like it. I think all the different cactus are interesting and I like the containers.

"Eyesore" is in the eye of the beholder. I don't think you can complain about cactus. You might complain if they are not being kept well.

I’m cracking up [emoji23]

It’s not that they are cacti. It’s the cluttered messiness and brownness of so many.

I’ve had a home in Scottsdale since 2003. The last thing my neighbors or I would install is a cactus. They are a scorpion, tarantula and insect hotel. Cactus is what builders put in for the snowbirds that don’t know any better. Like putting a palm tree up against the house. A Floridian knows that’s a rat ladder, a snowbird learns that the hard way.

Personally, I don't like it but I never complained to anyone. Just observed the landscape and think it is very out of place here in Florida.

Definitely a prickly subject. :D
