<p>[QUOTE=&quot;gregsglass, post: 61042, member: 78&quot;]Hi Bev,</p><p>&nbsp; They have their advantages. First they cut the grass and shovel snow. I do not have to look at horrible sites across the street. The only bad thing is the clothes line but it is worth giving up not to see overflowing trash cans outside. Plus the fact that certain communities have kept their house values higher than others. Bev you are a dyed in the wool Yankee and freedom is the key.<img src="styles/default/xenforo/smilies/biggrin.png" class="mceSmilie" alt=":D" unselectable="on" /> No one tells you what to do. The other rule is no veggie garden in the front yard. You can have them on the side or the back. My veggies include 12 tomato plants, basil, rosemary, mint, peppers. They fit nicely in big pots in the back, most of the other stuff is spread through out the flower beds. Other places around here have no rules and who wants to sit outside and look at chain link fences mostly old and rusted others with all kinds of vinyl slats wove in them. I looked down here for two years until I settled in my community. I read all the rules and restrictions before moving in. most of the communities around here have thousands of houses all alike and horrible laws. Mine is 350 houses there are seven different models with four different styles to each model. So it is blended nicely and people do care what the places look like. It is easier to work with fewer people our board has 5 members and they rotate every 3 years. One down here has 56 on the board and they never agree on anything. Those are the ones with horrible laws and conditions. My worst fears were moving into an old folks community and living in a plastic house. My plan was living in Bucks County Pa in a 200 yr old stone house on 7 acres. Instead I live in a vinyl house 25 years old at the Jersey Shore. My fears were unfounded and I am happy except that my friends and neighbors are dropping like flies.<img src="styles/default/xenforo/smilies/eek.png" class="mceSmilie" alt=":eek:" unselectable="on" /></p><p>greg[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
