 I once knew a family that used their front yard for a trash pile. When 
something broke they threw it in the front yard. Technically, there was 
no problem with this, except it looked like a junk yard. Some residents 
feel that unless we do something, it will be the same here -- not as 
bad but similar. Too many chatchkas (sp?) on the outside walls.

Three door mats in a row with political slogans that everyone has to 
see to get to the elevator can be very wearing when one doesn't share 
the sentiment that one's politics should be walked on.
