This morning my husband drove me around to take pictures of our neighborhood. In my sweatpants (it's chilly this am) no makeup and camera in hand. Yup. We've had it.
This is an Association in a Community where we pay Association dues and we don't take it too kindly when outsiders plaster signs all over the place displaying their 'wares' as a permanent sign fixture.
It shows the struggle through our changing times but it does not make it right.
I often wonder how much I would trust the 'business' advertising on the road....if they have to put signage all over like they're the experts and at the expense of others and their community?
I pay for my own advertising. I put up Open House signs for three hours and take them away, I display a For Sale sign on the property of the listing where I have permission to do so. I think we'd all love to have free advertising but at the cost of our lovely community? At the cost of the vacant lot owner? At the cost of being an eyesore?
I think not.
Emails are in to my Representative, Association and the City/County of Honolulu. You think that'd help?
