question was:

SHOULD LA ALLOW FOR SALE SIGNS ON YOUR PROPERTY?

answers:

YES -----62 votes .....................NO -------8 votes

the by laws do not allow signs -- this should be changed --

when someone wants to sell their property they should have as many options as possible -- when they reach this point it is better for the community to have the property change hands then to have a property left unattended and start to look shabby due to neglect from the disinterested owners and maybe even go into default of the annual dues and property taxes resulting a long protracted period until the property is sold at sheriffs sale

the other issue is that this rule was probably set up to protect the on site realtor at the inception of la--it still has that same effect and makes it more difficult to market la property-- other realtors handle la property -- as a matter of fact i see other off site realtor's ads in the real estate publications all the time ( i have never seen an ad for the on site realtor in any publication )

another place that carries la property is the http://www.craigslist.org/about/sites.html--off site realtors have la property listed all the time -- this is also a place where you can post your own ad for free-- you can post it in multiple major east coast cities

it's in the best interest to the la community to make selling a property easier -- even to a point of upgrading the la website to allow members to post ads and photos --

of course i doubt this will happen -- the bod and la management are more interested in protecting certain other interests than the la community interests
