This is what 'looking uniform', 'being normal' looks like.

This is not a HOA--this is being done by the owners who own the 20 buildings and property and have an agreement with HUD! We can't fight it and believe me we tried.

@cperry2 I agree with you 100% but because of circumstances my choices are very limited--still doesn't stop me from shouting out when I feel someone/something is wrong!!

@GreatMartin got ya. We own, and this neighbor hood once was under an HOA but that ended before we found the place. I still had to sign off on the fact that there had been an HOA even though it no longer operates as such. I've seen some fairly ugly stuff with those groups. Most of it ridiculous. I cant imagine what this new administrations, HUD rules must look like. Uniformity is down right ugly in my opinion. I want my place to stand out as different.

So did I but they are only looking at the bottom line!!

@DianneN These are not condos but it being HUD we have no 'right' to answer.

@GreatMartin That's how all condos are it seems.

@GreatMartin I was thinking what would happen if all these wild flower seeds (or even flower seeds native to Florida) were somehow scattered all over the property and grew like crazy !

@much2say They would have their crew pick up anything that looks like a weed!!

We now have 20 buildings that look alike--gray and ugly!! So far we still have the Queen Crepe Myrtles which I think they can't take down because they are 'native' to Florida.

@GreatMartin well, i think it looked better before. Did they make you bring all your plants inside?

@simone10 Yes they did!

"To make everything uniform" plus it is much better for their bottom line and end of the year bonuses!!

Who? Their pocketbooks? Certainly not the residents!! ARGH!

@GreatMartin Maybe something is going on n not telling you anything.Just saying

@GreatMartin yes sir, those trees're mighty dangerous 'round horses 'n cattle. sadly such happens. e'en humans, who ought'a know better, 'll seek shelter 'nder 'em.

To a degree--in this case for years Mother Nature framed our life!

I agree--we are surrounded by nothingness now!
