Political signs

So, we were talking the other day about how it seems any group of people has their own group and/or sign to support their candidate for president. Sportsmen for Bush, Vets for Kerry and the like. My friend K had noted that the rainbow flag Kerry signs had started cropping up in a few places, and I had seen a sticker that said Kerry/Edwards that had a little red logo of the wheelchair man from the handicapped parking sign.

Then, I started seeing these. And my main problem is that they don't seem grammatically correct. Is the house itself voting for Kerry, or should that read "Residents" rather than "Residence"?

is Victorian Village a neighborhood, or is it something like an assisted living home?

Well, unless it's a sign for a specific household, I'd say it's a typo. Perhaps there are several adults in that house who all support the candidate, though.

My parents never went for having campaign signs in yards, mostly because our yard would be full of conflicting/opposing candidates. ;)

Darn those tricky homonyms! :)

Definitely the wrong word was used. Residence is the physical place. Residents are the people that live there. ^_^
