Ok, so someone (several actually) mentioned how much money you waste in energy with dark homes. So what? Is it their money? Is it hurting them?
Someone said that a dark home makes their eyes bleed? Seriously? Come on, it's none of anyone else's business the color of your home. Maybe I don't like red cars. So what, it's none of my business what color car....or home you live in.
If it is not against any "rules" here in the villages, then you can cry your eyes out about how you don't like the color and it won't matter a lick.
Someone else said that there are more important things to worry about today. KUDOS, you are absolutely right and these petty folks that worry about the color of your home, probably worry about the color of your roses also, or what you dietary menu might be.
I personally like dark colored homes and like to see what kind of trim color they might choose. So many different combinations.

The Villages, old folks elephant graveyard. Where old folks go to wait out and complain about others until their demise.

I'd rather leave this life happy and care free than grumpy, angry, depressed and nasty. The Villages is supposed to the the place where folks live the life that they worked so hard all their life, dream of. When I die, I plan to have a smile on my face.

I watched the video, meant for children no doubt, from beginning to end. I came away with one thought........you want a home of your dreams? Do what ever you want to the inside of your home but stay in compliance with the exterior of your home. Paint the walls INSIDE with polka dots and stripes in colors that only you can appreciate but please leave the exterior of you home to maintain the look of a "neat street".

I do understand that these dark colors are allowed by The Villages so I have nothing to say about that. I do not have to like those dark colors and I do not like them. Just voicing my opinion.

I need a break from the reality of the Ukraine invasion so I am focusing on lighter subjects and can keep my sanity.

I won't be smiling if I have to look at what appears to be a black home across the street. That is for sure!!!!

If it’s not in your neighborhood, you don’t really have any business reporting it, IMO.

I mind my own business.

IMO not going to anywhere close to 15 years.

All State Insurance

I was thinking the same thing. The houses will retain heat and if the power goes out in the heat of the summer for any reason it will heat up quickly.

Good thing, because it would be a waste of time. The DEVELOPER painted them that color...

Don't you mean "darker (color)" subjects?
