I say eff em. Give it some time and put the cranes back. Add in a pink flamingo 🦩 for some ‘diversity’. Or hang the LGBTQ rainbow flag on them.
Any complaints tell them it’s discrimination. When they back down remove the fruity colored symbol. Fight back.

Solid plan.

No time driving
No new work clothes
Lower gas costs
Immediate start/stop
Opportunity cost
Gym before busy time
No snitches

Not unless you like to fight and know how to do so if it becomes necessary.

I’ve got very obedient family members who made me put on a mask when we walked into a restaurant. Our table was ten feet from the door and took 1.3 seconds to walk to it. I was then allowed to remove my mask.

Then came the dreaded knock on the front door by Community Standards. An anonymous complaint had been received about the birds.

The couple grudingly removed the cranes.

Here's the Welcome Wagon (remember that?)

Well, I could see a little one, but not two!...............

The Intel plant near me in Rio Rancho, NM, has five or six of them all going at once. They just took down the biggest one, easily 200' tall, this last weekend. You could see that one from the Big I in Albuquerque (I-25/I-40 Interchange).

My neighborhood is the same!

We would not last five minutes in an HOA. Example:

When we lived in Vinings (a tony close-in suburb of Atlanta - but NO HOA) our next door neighbor came strolling by the front of our place one day. My dear husband was sitting in front of a turkey fryer in the driveway; said turkey fryer was going full blast with an old bar sink on top . . . hubby was melting down wheel weights to cast lead bullets for Cowboy Action Shooting (wheel weights just happen to have exactly the right softness required to avoid ricochets off close steel targets), wearing a rubber apron and elbow-length gauntlets as he stirred blazing paraffin around in the molten lead and flames shot up 6 feet or so. Meanwhile, I was training my retrievers on "T-Drill" with five traffic cones, each with a home-made flag stuck in the top. Meanwhile, the horse jumps I had painted for my trainer were drying on black plastic in the corner of the front yard.

Neighbor: "What the hell are you all doing in Vinings?"

Hubby (with big grin): "I've asked myself that question!"

We've moved to the country, where nobody cares what anybody else does on their own property, so long as you don't let a trash fire get out of control!!!

I’m sorry to hear that. Fortunately, none of my immediate family is like that.

I would never live in a neighborhood with an HOA or in a condo. You do not own the property you inhabit if there is an HOA. The HOA owns it. They can tell you minutely what you may or may not do with it and anything on it and many HOA officials glory in their neighborhood power and use it to prove they have it.

‘I would never live in a neighborhood with an HOA or in a condo.’

I said that once, then my neighbor moved and a bunch of yahoos moved in and proceeded to park cars in their front yard, and put in a peacock pen in the back; this bird can be heard for miles when it crows, which is always...they also wanted to erect a mini skateboarding rink, and only gave it up because their kids grew out of interest...

yeah HOA’s get anal about stuff, but I know now I will never wake up to a neighbor from hell situation that I have no control over...

Me either my closest neighbor is 1/4 mile away.

And I think that is too close

Couple dozen pink flamingoes seems appropriate.

I dunno. I have a neighbor from New York down the street from me, and she’s an enthusiastic supporter of Trump and De Santis.

Suit yourself. I believe that one’s property should be his won property. I don’t believe I have rights in or on someone else’s property and don’t want someone else claiming rights on mine. If the neighbor is overly obnoxious then buy him out or move.

LOL.

Wonder if they still have American flags on them as I’ve seen in most places. Out of camera range? Or wokism?

At my previous employer, I had someone rat me out for not wearing a mask going to and from the men’s room.

Many just got probation or community service for that but it could have been worse. 😁

People are often rotten. I used to walk on my lunch hour at the university library, 99% outside but if the MI weather was freezing hail like pellets blowing across black ice sidewalks driven by 40 mph winds I walked inside.

So a nerd student made a written complaint to the head of the library that my "clothes made a rubbing sound as I walked past him and bothered his studying." I was reprimanded (!) by the angry black woman acting library head who later became my supervisor. Tough luck for me.
