No need for political signs or flags. Most people know who they are going to vote for and don’t need “ Trump 2020” or “Go with Joe” to change their mind. I personally wish they wouldn’t allow them. I’m sick of seeing them whenever I’m out. JMO

Confederate Flag / Political Flag
What kinds of flags ARE allowed?

Question

Speaking of signs - You can't have a sign dictating "House for Sale" unless its a small 12" X 12" inside your house window but seems OK that you can place 24" X 24" "Yard Sale" signs all around our neighborhood corners...

An excellent point. I think the only signs some folks would oppose would be the other folks' signs with which they disagree.

I've seen Community Watch take them down.

I don't care for political signs, flags or bumper stickers.
It only really separates the intelligent from the idiots by self advertising.

Political campaign signs are a form of advertising. I don't care if they are allowed or not, but those who say that advertising doesn't work are just inaccurate. That is like telling Budweiser to stop all television commercials because people already know which beer to drink.

The "house for sale" sign rule is routinely violated by non-Villages real estate businesses, and there seems to be almost no enforcement. It seems to me that a simple phone call to these businesses could force them to comply with the rule. They are supposed to be "professionals".

Who cares? If all you can find to worry about is someone's sign or a little cross in their yard, then the problem is most likely not theirs, but YOURS. Sorry, but life is more interesting to me if everyone is NOT the same.

Appeared like you were complaining that they were not being taken down.
