Your right shouldn't have put that in there which is why I edited my original post. Just get tired of the petty crap. VERY view homes are in compliance If people actually read them. There are many crosses in TV along with MANY other violations most are landscaping issues. People have been turned in for having their crosses in their NON road facing backyards where mine was when it was reported. So who saw that one ?

We are new to the Villages and while we realize there is conflict about the white crosses, we’d love to get one. Does anyone know where we might safely secure one at this time? We are in the Tiera Del Sol area.

I used to see people giving them away free after mass at ST. TIMOTHY OR ST. MARK on occasion. You might call those churches. They might know. Or just watch for them when we can go again.

I like deed restrictions as well.

If you want to put up a cross, go ahead. I see many around and I see that those who scorn such displays are vocal in their contempt. (Sadly they are likely to be the very same folks who will scream if there is the slightest hindrance of their rights.) By no means hold back because neighbors might be offended; that is the ploy and the bogus attempt to silence believers by the pc thugs that live everywhere, including this community. Most of the folks here are the "live and let live" types; it is the ACLU types who want to suppress expression they deem politically offensive. If the district tells you it is in violation, then you can take it down if you choose. But don't be put off by the microaggression midgets with a keyboard.

So much heat/ so little light in this post. Violaters are breaking a covenant that they have made with every other homeowner who is covered under the same recorded covenant. So much for integrity .

Perfectly stated. Thank you for this insight

The American Center for Law and Justice was reputed to be representing this homeowner , but has reportedly now bailed. My guess is that the have now figured that it is a lost cause. See recent local news coverage.

Nope - The Village has decided not to fight the ACLJ and now the crosses are OK

It is my understanding that churches in the area have them. There is NOTHING WRONG in wanting one of those white crosses. I, as a Christian, also want one.

Well, it looks like every viewpoint has had a chance to get their licks in and the OP has received many leads to the crosses. In this trying time, this thread is closed to avoid a run on BP meds.
