Should subdivisions bar political signs?
The Atlanta Journal-Constitution
Just recently the managers of our subdivision sent out an e-mail to all residents letting them know they can’t post political or advertising signs of any kind.
I can just imagine some of the irritated e-mails the managers are receiving as you read this blog.
To be sure, I would never put a sign on my front lawn declaring my political preference. Nor would I put one up regarding a business (though I might want to if I offered something useful to the residents).
I understand the reasoning. Aesthetically, it’s not very pleasing to the eye to see a sign stuck in the ground as you drive around. And I guess if you made your political bent known to the entire neighborhood you might get some hate mail or maybe a little harassing. Who knows?
It makes sense that they don’t want cars up on bricks in the driveway, but would one little sign really hurt anybody? We put bumper stickers on cars and sometimes have cars in the driveway (alright, so that’s a stretch).
If you received an e-mail of this sort, what would you think? Would it bother you?
