Homeowners Associations

[Rick_A]

My association president lives next door. The rules are simple. The intent is to keep the neighborhood looking good.

He barely even flinched when his daughter dumped a cut down tree in my yard, and I dumped it back on his.

He apologized then told me to please stop, though I was already about 75% done.

Run away, do you really want to own a place that you have to ask permission to do anything with?

In that situation do you really own it?

What's your definition of owning?

Do not pay your school or county taxes for a couple years and see what happens to something YOU THOUGHT you owned.

Do a small job without the approval of your city/town/villages building department and then you had better hang on because it's going to be a wild, expensive ride.

HOAs just add another step in the who owns what controversy!

HOAs are worse in that they are mandated Corporate run quasi-governments. Perhaps the model for the ACA.....
