“At 1776, our goal is to bring patriotism to the front porch of housing and the communities that we develop henceforth.”

Brock Fankhouser, developer of the 1776 Gastonia planned community in Belmont, N.C. All homes in the community will be required to fly an American flag 365 days a year and prohibits any other flag, including even the state flag, from being flown. While Fankhouser claims the development is not political, 1776 seems to be marketed for conservatives. Homes will range from $450,000 to $700,000. (WFAE — July 11, 2023)
