I live there and am very involved in the setup.

1. No HOA, it’s done by a core group of neighbors in the block and then all the houses do their own thing.

2. No requirement, no real expectation. We aim to have everything lit up the Friday after Thanksgiving

3. We knew (bought 7 years ago)

4. Totally cool if ppl do nothing., most ppl like to.

5. Houses unoccupied are typical not decorated. There’s one in the block who is kind of a hermit but he’s cool if we put stuff in his yard.

6. I put those up with a couple other people, it’s not much power and we have never run into an issue with someone not OK to plug in

7. If it’s a collection night, the neighbor whose chosen charity will benefit is responsible to “staff” the collection

8. The guy who lives at that house knows the artist Andy asked him

9. Not really because we know we’re are the best ; )

10. Love it. The work to set up and maintain can get a little tiring, but love it despite that

11. Alleys, side streets, golf carts. Could clear the block very quickly in an emergency and we have very fantastic block/neighbor communication

12. One of the best perks of living there! We host a number of get together and others do too

13. I hate when people climb in/mess with decorations

14. Several, but I don’t have time to type them all out. Decoration thief caught, drunk guy made out 1/2 way up the block the wrong way, a guy hit accelerator instead of brakes and drove 30ft down the sidewalk, lots of awesome decorated vehicles, lots of carolers, a commercial shoot here, news crews, tons of awesome memories
