Mine is populated with a bunch of old ladies. They can drive you up the wall.
I am a board member of an HOA
Maybe you've tried to make reasonable HOAs. But there are many many unreasonable ones. And for those, the board members should be brought out on the street and executed one by one. You try to steal a man's house, you may end up dead. And that's not an unreasonable reaction.
I definitely sign on to this idea.
Hopefully, all those who supported the sale of this house, find themselves in very bad predicaments in the future.
It's the least they deserve.
They drive me nuts, too, but so does the next door neighbor with five cars out front and a yard full of weeds.
I just built my dream home a couple of years ago, and it's amazing the number of rules of the HOA. Now, most of them are pretty obvious, but wow, you have to get approval to do just about anything outside your home.
The Good Reverend would never own a home with a HOA.....
Well it has its advantages. I have three swimming pools with a club house, the landscaping is taken care of and there is gate.
I recently got citied for fixing a rotting fence installed by the HOA and that was rotting because of the HOA owned sprinkler system that for some reason sprays not just the grass area next to my house but my house as well. All I did was replace the fence boards with the exact same wood. The only reason they noticed was because it wasn't rotted anymore.
In response to all those people saying "never be part of an HOA". That's hard to do when 99% of the communities in a given area are HOA run.
To the OP story, horrible law that is lacking common sense and should be amended.
I must admit, I only have one swimming pool, a separate garage and office, my landscaper is larry, and I have live in a neighborhood that needs no gates.
How do you make it by with just one pool?
the beach house. :thumbs:
We really have very few HOA's in north Jersey as far as I can tell. :shrug:
You couldn't find a neighborhood in southern california without an HOA.
**** I gotta get approval on the blinds I use inside my home.
HOAs are the reason why we bought our house in Denton (20 mi. North of Dallas). We still have a self appointed anonymous leader that sends computer printout nasty letters to us and several of our neighbors for every little thing. We haven't figured out who it is yet, but I foresee having some fun if we ever do find out who this clown is.
Obviously, the secret enforcer wouldn't have any home foreclosure powers. And once discovered, would be exiled from the neighborhood. I hope they understand that this could happen to them.
I know foreclosures were going on under Bush. That is not what I said at all. It is just that the media was make a much bigger deal about it. The evil corporation and big government vs. the poor unfortunate homeowner was being played up in a big way. Republicans were personally putting people out of their homes. Now, not so much.
Sorry, I didn't see that Zyphlin properly chastized you already.
Check out this one:
HOA foreclosed on Frisco home of soldier while he was in Iraq
A soldier serving in Iraq lost his Frisco home to foreclosure over late homeowners association dues, renewing a debate over the power of HOAs in Texas.
The case, which has boiled over to involve a federal judge, a publicist and death threats, began when Michael and May Clauer lost their $315,000 home to foreclosure in May 2008 after falling behind on their association dues.
The Heritage Lakes Homeowners Association was initially owed $977.55 and sent multiple notices by certified mail demanding payment. All went unanswered, said David Margulies, spokesman for the association and its management company, Select Management.
