They think it’s cute.
Especially when a poster mentions it many times on the same thread. Why?

Very interesting, thanks!

Having 2-3 homes between you and the Turnpike is effectively like having 2-3 noise barriers.

Plus a lanai away from the noise source is best.

The Villa walls probably also help some.

They probably have kissing lanai's which would be far worse in my book.

It feels the same as people that complain about a popular store or restaurant opening that they object to or dislike. Just don't go there then. I would be quite happy if Edna's on the green and the other amenities in my area were less crowded if the North of 44 people weren't using them so much.

Conversation? People often enjoy participating in conversations, even if the subject doesn't relate to or effect them directly.
To me, the peculiar thing is how some folks take offense when someone from outside their little circle tries to make conversation.

I'm not offended at all. It just seemed like a question targeted at specific people that own in a specific area. Very valid question.

It would be like someone asking "what's it like to drive a Tesla" and then almost all of the people chiming in are non-Tesla owners. There's been very little value added to the conversation by these people is my point.
