Default Crosses

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.

You state that you’re new. If you know the crosses cause conflict, why would you want to stir the pot at a time when many people have frayed nerves due to the virus and stay at home restrictions. You can display your faith in other ways in your home.

Are you aware that the placement of this ornament would be a violation of lawful Deed Restrictions. As we speak there is a pending suit against one resident at this time ? 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.

You are new here and one of your first actions is to violate the deed restrictions you just signed? The ink probably isn't dry yet on the document and this is how you want to start off life in The Villages?

I just don't get it.

A person on Madero Drive was making them. They just left them out near the curb for anyone help themselves to. I haven't seen any lately, though.

What makes you so sure that they would be violating their deed restrictions?

Because they wrote, "we realize there is conflict about the white crosses". If it didn't affect them, I doubt the original post would have been made.

And Tierra del Sol is in a district that restricts them.

Have you ever read your deed restrictions? Do you actually live in TV?

Good way to get labeled a trouble maker by your new neighbors. Why not buy a flower or something you can plant and put a cross in you window or on your front door in a nice wreath. Try to add a little class to your new neighborhood instead of causing more conflict.

What would you rather see a white cross which is a violation ? Or a driveway lined with 20 faded flower pots filled with 1/2 dead plants which aren't in violation

Because white crosses are used all over to indicate someone died there, they freak me out when they are casually put somewhere.

I believe Tierra Del Sol area is in District 2. The crosses are allowed in District 2.
