It appears the HGTV remake of downtown Sebring is becoming embroiled in controversy. Recent social media posts have criticized citizens who have had questions or made negative comments about the work done by Ben & Erin Napier as part of their "Hometown Takeover" program.

The couple says, if you can’t say something nice – don’t say anything at all.
