Default Little white crosses

What is the status of the case of the villages against the house with the little white crosses. I know they owed a lot of fines but I thought they took it to court. I just started walking and in my travels along Bailey trail around sea breeze I have seen 6 or 7 houses with the white crosses. Some have them stuck in flower pots. The most innovative one was 3 crosses stuck inside the lani which faces the road but clearly visible from the road.

Still tied up in court as I recall reading recently. And probably will be forever.

The solution in our neighborhood is an 8" cross in every single flowerbed.

It's sort of like the way we finally defeated that idiotic 55mph speed limit that was almost universally ignored, and still managed to kill thousands of people every year, as evidenced from the drop in highway deaths the year it was finally repealed.

Sometimes the only solution to stupid government overreach is passive resistance.

The repeal of the 55 mph speed limit in 1995 led to an increase in highway deaths

Study: A study found that the increased speed limits after the repeal accounted for an estimated 12,545 deaths over 10 years.

Fatality rates: A study found that fatality rates were 17% higher after the speed limit increases, even after accounting for changes in vehicle miles of travel.

So everyone n your village is of the same beliefs in white cross. Must be a dedicated entire neighborhood to switch beliefs to prove a point. My parents could not have allowed a cross no matter how small in their personal space.

Why does a little white cross bother anyone? If it were a hammer/sickle flag I would look at it and roll my eyes, but I wouldn't get my undies in a bunch. You do you, I'll do me. Live and let live.

Nearly Nobody was actually going 55, like 65 to 70 plus. When they increased it to 70 that means nearly everybody was going 80 to 85 plus. Another thing there no limit till you get caught.

Just move up in northern districts can do what you want. Lawn ornaments galore brick in all of CYVs yard including easements and use whole front yard as parking lot, but don’t try to gravel patio vIlla yard..

The issue everyone seems to be ignoring is that any type of lawn ornament, be it a white cross or a deer statue, is that any of them need to be located under the eaves of the house. If these people had complied with this district restriction, they wouldn’t be in court today. This is not a religious issue. Rather it is a deed restriction issue.

It's great to see that we weren't able to get through a week, without a "little white crosses" thread.

You can't have one! You signed a Deed Restriction that they are NOT ALLOWED in TV.

SIMPLE.

The government controls our C&R? I would be curious how many of the same ornaments are represented inside the same home? I do not need to advertise the pink flamingo in my front yard for the neighbors to look at all day as I have one inside it, LOL

How about reading and complying with the deed restrictions that you agreed to when buying a house in TV. This is not government overreach at all.
