Mr. Wilson lives on the other side of the villa wall in our hood. All we see is the top of his head while he ck's things out on this side of the world...back and forth back and forth. We must be interesting folks, huh.

I wish they would allow fences in any village, just like in real life. I would love a designer with a fence.

I watch out for my neighbors....don't want them having a coronary looking at me in the buff...

Just me being a thoughtful, caring neighbor....lol

I know just what you mean, BS. I lived in an apartment in Nuernberg, Germany. There was a young lady who lived two floors below me and two apartments over. She insisted on sunbathing naked on any pleasant day. If I happened to be on my balcony and just happened to hold onto the railing with my left hand and lean out as far as possible, and maybe crane my neck a bit, there was absolutely no way I could avoid seeing her. :yikes: I considered complaining to the apartment management, but I didn't want to do anything to hurt German-American relationships and it was her country, after all. One must adapt to the local customs.

I think fences are a good idea but what I see is the developer changing course in mid stream to satisfy more potential buyers in a slow market. One has to wonder what else will change in order to keep sales going?

Have you seen the houses with "fences" that the developer is building to satisfy more potential buyers? First of all, they look like :edit: . But, we're talking about less than 20 homes among 35,000, and no one here can accurately say what is being done and why. If this is a change being made to satisfy more potential buyers --- which I really doubt --- what's the big deal. Look at the prehistoric section, look around Spanish Springs, look around Glenview, look up north toward Nancy, look just south of 466, then go look around Duval or Hadleyville. There have been scores of changes through the years, at least partially to keep sales going. Most have been very favorable, like wider, better cart paths. I hope I profited from the lessons the developer learned while building Polo Ridge and Calumet. I assume someone in Bonita or south of 466A will benefit from what they learned here. Nothing wrong with that.

About the German girl sunbathing. My daughter and SIL had neighbors and the wife was German. She sun bathed nude also. My daughter and her husband had a lot of company - especially of the male variety (for some reason). The father-in-laws loved going over there.

I for one sure don't like the look of fences. They close in the land, go out of repair and start to look shabby in few years. I prefer to look at open areas with palm trees / shrubs / flowers any day! I sure hope they keep fenced ranches in only a very small selective area.

Everyone is entitled to their opinion, and fences are definitely not for everybody. It is what makes the world go 'round. But, why do people think the fences would end up in such disrepair.

Compare TV to anywhere else in Florida, this country in general. There are places that are as well kept, but not many. TV is kept up like the Disneyworld that it is. Everything is so well manicured, homes, lawns, fences cart paths, public areas and private. There is a sense of pride everywhere.

Step outside TV and look around if you want to see disrepair. I highly doubt the fences around Ranches or any other kind of home in TV would be left to fall apart. Courtyard villa fences and walls look great to me, no matter which village or the age of the fence.

Just my humble opinion.

[JohnN]

well, plenty of diversity and opinions,
I like a fence, for pups and privacy,
although it makes it really hard to see brightspot1 sunbathing in the nude, I have to adjust the mirror disguised as a birdfeeder just exactly right LOL

[renielarson]

now now John....

Well we took a drive tonight through Hemingway to look at the area with fenced houses and I have to say I'm not impressed. The whole section kind of looked like Army Barracks.
I thought I would like them, but I don't. No land around most of them either. You would think there would be. I still like fences for the doggies, but I'm sooo not impressed with what they're offering in Hemingway. Just my opinion. :

[BUC]

Like was stated to me many times when I was on my soapbox concerning fences, so to those who don't like the fences (maybe you'd be happier someplace that would better fit your desires) LOL I'm just kidding, I want everyone to live in and enjoy TV, but there's room for fences and no fences. Like the mental gaint (?) Rodney King said several years ago CAN"T WE JUST ALL GET ALONG! I love you people and can't wait to get there.
