Developing NC community to require American flags at all homes

A new community in Gastonia, North Carolina, set to welcome new residents by early 2024, is causing quite a stir online.

The 43-home neighborhood called 1776 Gastonia has just completed its infrastructure. The made-to-order homes will be available for purchase in the next few months.

Here's the talker: Each home will be required to fly an American flag in front of their homes.

"We're handling the American flag like an architectural element," Brock Fankhauser, the owner and founder of Great American Homes, said. "We are installing it similarly to a fixture."

Fankhauser said each resident will be given an American flag upon moving in and will have agreed to display it in front of their homes at all times. Fankhauser stressed the community is not associated with any particular political party.
