HOA woes

[roo_ster]

Finally, when you do buy a home?

Get involved in your community.

The right thing for many, many reasons.

The only way to live in peace with HOA's as an HOA-hater is to get on your HOA board.

Period.  End of Sentence.  Carriage Return-Line Feed.

From there you can damned near stop the HOA from doing HOA-oriented things beyond mowing communal grass, if you have enough like minded neighbors.  Just have to dethrone the resident cat-owning bluehair busybodies that crown themselves the neighborhood weed police and the like.

Been There, Did That.

My first year in my new home & HOA was a constant battle. They were up my rear end every time I moved. I countered with law and facts. They lost. I volunteered to do a couple of things and the next thing you know I was "president" of the HOA. Things were never more peaceful in the area since. I had to move to another HOA and wasn't as lucky. However, that one is now a distant memory.

Why is it that every time I think about a HOA I also think about Nazis?

Why is it that every time I think about a HOA I also think about Nazis?

Surely you jest?

And there's the revised Godwin.

And not a particularly good one, at that.  :rolleyes:
