How many people would dare to live in an HOA?

We have lived in our house for 37 years. The new HOA president came to tell us our boat and our camper was in violation of the by laws. It was with extreme pleasure, that I told him, that we were not part of the neighborhood. The neighborhood stands on land that my great grandparents sold to a developer. We are an entity all by ourselves. But we are the first house you see as you pull into the subdivision. I told him if I had anymore visits from him, I would make sure my home looked like the Beverly Hillbillies were having a garage sale! It's been a year, haven't heard a peep!🤣😂🤣😂🤣

If HOA members made a rule where I had to leave my garage open during a certain set of time, I would wonder which one of them is a thief.

If you buy a house with an HOA you are completely out of your mind. 😵‍💫

I bought my home in 2021 and my number 1 rule was NO HOA, I wouldn't even consider it. The homes I walked away from were dreams come true, but they were in HOA controlled developments, then the best house we came across had no HOA, the cost was about 119K above our budget, but it was worth it, so we put our offer in and bought the house. No regrets!

I got a written warning on my door for a quarter-sized oil drip from my Trans Am! I am not kidding. You know what I did? I MOVED!

Some people are so unhappy with their own lives they have to try to control other peoples lives to feel better, pathetic.

The neighbor who reported the picture is a pervert. And they need help.

The worst was the one where the H O A said an elderly lady needing a wheelchair couldn't have a ramp to access her home. Thus placing the H O A in direct and incontrovertible conflict with state and federal law. also being totally amoral Never heard how that one came out. Hopefully she sued the pants off them.

You know what HOA really stands for Hoard Of Assoles

Kudos to the towing company owner to waive the fees and help the widow. There is a man with some heart and compassion for a fellow human.

[crypticspirit]

I've never lived nor will i live in an HOA. But i did work security at multiple HOA properties before. I've never dealt with such whiny, entitled cry babies in my life.

Idk why anyone would live in an HOA. One of the major purposes of buying a house is freedom from landlords controlling you, but with an HOA you pay hundreds of thousands of dollars to own your own home and you still have ppl controlling you.

A HOA fined someone for giving piano lessons in her home. Another for changing his own oil. And because his son drove a pickup truck and dressed like a construction worker. They said his pickup truck was a construction vehicle because he used it to move his tools to job sites. I have a hunch that HOA are really just enforcing the appearance of social class.

Being ignorant of what an HOA was, I agreed to move into a gated golf community to please my husband. Some years later he has finally had enough and we're trying to sell this place to another suck... er, homebuyer. Our new home has NO HOA. I understand the purpose of these asses...er, associations, but ours is completely off the rails like so many. They are entirely focused on squeezing the maximum amount of money from residents by any means. For a minor example, they installed speed traps with cameras to fine residents who go over 25 mph $50 ; none residents are fined $200. These traps are illegal on public roads in this state, but apparently the HOA gets by with a "private road" exemption. Happiness will be this place in my rear view mirror.

You’re buying a personal Karen when you buy in an HOA neighborhood.

[crankychris]

Key sentence: "many people won't consider buying a house if it has an HOA attached".

[bethroesch]

That truck is a historic artifact. The HOA is nuts

[shelliej]

I will never move into an HOA, I don't need anyone telling what I can and cannot do with my property.

My brother was fined for having "the wrong mailbox." My brother and his wife bought the "model home" in his neighborhood. It had a street-side mailbox, when he moved in. All the other new homes also had street-side mailboxes, but they were slightly different. Instead of paying the fine, one night my brother went to a hardware store, bought the same house number labels, pulled up his mailbox, grabbed a shovel, went to a new house, on another street that had just been built, but had not sold, pulled up that mailbox, planted his old mailbox, changed the house number on the box to the new house number, came home, planted the new mailbox, renumbered the box to his number, and went about his business. When the second and third bill came, he threw those away too. The HOA animated-dildo, aka "president" came by to "talk to my brother about the unpaid fine." My brother told him that his mailbox looked like everyone else's on the street." The guy turned around, looked surprised, and told him, 'Well...don't let it happen again." My brother told the guy, "Go away and stay off my grass. Next time, I won't be nice."
