Family's fight with HOA over pool fence

[Arlothedno]

All I'm hearing from the HOA is "we'd rather your children die to preserve our aesthetic"

Her backyard is covered by Trees the real question is who’s in there backyard to even see then report it. HOA’s are weirdo stalkers on a power trip 👀

“Your fence could saving lives but we don’t like the way it looks. Take it down” - Karen HOA

Imagine paying thousands of dollars for a home, only to have someone tell you what you can and CAN'T do to your

[Pssssst_]

1st question when buying a home.
Is there an HOA?
Yes?
Bye...

[biggameslayer]

I hate HOA’s and will never buy a house with joining one required.

[URSoDeadMe]

I just could never understand how we ever got to a point in this country where you can buy a piece of land, put a house on it and an HOA can tell you what to do with it.

When an HOA takes aesthetics more seriously than someone’s insurance and human life, than that board is just a tyrant in disguise

And if a neighbor's kid drowned in their pool, they would no doubt sue them.

That is crazy, every pool needs a safety fence when children are involved. Many children drown yearly in domestic pools.

And this right here is exactly why I would never ever live in a home that has a HOA. There’s no way in hell somebody’s going to tell me what I can and cannot do with my own home.

Fun fact: A HOA is born Everytime a Karen wins a divorce settlement.

Never spend your hard-earned money on a house located within an HOA

The moment when a HOA member came and told me that I cannot hang clothes for sun drying inside my room was when I knew something was wrong with these people, I am saving resources and making use of sun power to dry my clothes and here they come putting up notice on mt house door and second when I lost my nerve was when my friend's house door knob couldn't be changed to their liking snd it had to look similar to other house to keep it aesthetic!!! Seriously??? What's wrong!

[lindseysturkie]

She said it perfectly; the HOA is more concerned with their kangaroo rules and policies rather than the humans who live there and the enjoyment of their own property. Common sense should rule the day not power hungry tyrants.

[karig]

Why is there an HOA? if its my home and I pay taxes on it I should have a right to do as I please, I think the HOA needs to be abolished

As a real estate agent who cares, avoid HOAs like the plague

HOA board members are typically retired, angry old seniors without a clue.

[nickdeliso]

After recently becoming president of my HOA, I saw the BS the previous board pulled…unfairly targeting people they did not like and making them spend $$$. Lucky, by getting to peek behind the curtain, gaining access to past documentation the Board hid from residents, I was able to right some wrongs. Some people feel they are running their own country. This is why people NEED to be involved.

You spend so much money on your home only to be told by someone else how to live in it. YAY AMERICA home of the free!
