I would think it would mean those home values remain intact. Which is the goal of the whole thing. If I were looking at a home in that area, this event would not deter me from purchasing there -- unless I had aspirations to put up a flagpole.
As stated previously in this thread, there are "protections" already in place regarding flying the flag on your property, including within an area covered by an HOA.
IE, there is
FLORIDA. I think people might find that the HOA in this instance does have rules, so does the State of FL, and these rules did not prevent this vet from flying a flag.
Some orgs are forward-thinking and looking to prevent issues from occurring -- some of the readers of this thread will state there are no issues when flying a flag. Whatever. To those with a desire to have an open mind, read that link.
I lived in Westchase when
THIS issue was big news. I supported the HOA's ruling -- except when it voted to lower the fine. There is more to the issue than just putting up a sign to say you support the troops. Some people won't see that.
I'm sure that I can now have the obligatory comments about my patriotism as well. Right. 'Cause I sure as fuck haven't EVER done anything that could be termed as supporting my country....
