You will never have to pay to be listed as a top neighbor. Period. That important detail clarified, let's discuss how we arrive at two "top neighbors" for a given region:
Localism is a bustling collection of hyper-local communities, and the top neighbors should reflect those members who are most active. When ranking users in a given region, several factors are considered. To get your foot in the proverbial door, you need to have posted at least one "Localism" article or photo for the region.
The very best way to quickly rise to #1 is to post high-quality local content. Keeping a steady strem of incoming posts and photos will massively tilt the scales in your favor.
What doesn't count toward the top neighbor ranking? ActiveRain points and community sponsorships. The top neighbor spots will always go to the most active members in a region. We want to create a level playing field that encourages the growth of communities — talent and dedication are required to win the day.

The City’s Motto is, The Grass is Always Greener has been Named as One of the Nation’s 100 Best Communities for Young People by America’s Promise Alliance. This history of the City of Plantation started back in 1941 by a Gentleman named, Frederick C. Peters who took advantage of the cheap land and bought 10,000 acres for $250,000. The area was practically undeveloped and large alligators, snakes and other wild animals inhabited the land. Although the City of Plantation was not even a conception yet, the area was nicknamed Plantation because many large tracts of land were purchased by city dwellers, who called them "plantations".
The original selling point was to entice people to buy "long acres", which were one-acre lots with 2/3 of the land dedicated to gardens and fruit trees. The plan was to create a co-op farmer's market" where residents could pool their produce and sell it for a profit. The property was selling for $200 an acre in the mid-40s with the First Home being built on East Acre Drive.
Today these same homes, now known as “Historic Old Plantation” continues to be one of the most popular Residential Neighborhoods. Here you will find a variety of Large Estate Homes, Sprawling Ranch Homes and many Two Story Homes all surrounded by lots of Gorgeous Historic Trees and most beautiful park like grounds.

As a Resident of Plantation Acres, there are many things I like about living here. Having more Land and fewer neighbors is one and the other is all the Animals that call "Plantation Acres" their Home as well.
This is a Horse Community and you will also find many homes with a variety of other animals such as Donkeys, Peacocks, Ostriches, Roosters and Chickens. I take the kids out in the Golf Cart and we drive around the neighborhood as you never know what you will see.
Well apparently, somewhere along the way, no one knows for sure but someone must have had some "Hogs" and now there is a whole bunch of them living in the Undeveloped Wooded Areas and some of the residences want them removed Dead or Alive.
My plea is to relocate them and not harm them, these wooded areas have been their Home for a long time and with more and more construction they have nowhere to go.
Here are some pictures I took of them yesterday along the side of the Road on Sunrise Boulevard.
