![]() "Jerry Oxendine" wrote in message ... snippage Of course, the solution is NOT to move into one of those HOAs with the blue-haired lady telling what color to paint your shutters. Once you do, you are stuck. Kinda like those folks that move in next to an AIRPORT and then expect to get PAID because of the noise. I have no sympathy for them. I choose NOT to live in such a place. When I lived in Coeur d' Alene a few years ago, there were the beginnings of a fight between homeowners (not aware of whether or not it was an HOA or not) and radio station KGA in Spokane. When KGA went on the air something close to 70 years ago, it's transmitter site was miles from town, and in the middle of a very rural area. Well, now the area has built up, and the homeowners there are trying to force KGA to move it's transmitter site and towers. This is not a small undertaking, since broadcast stations are very restricted as to the areas that they can place these complicated multi-tower systems, and very strict directional patterns. For me, I don't feel a bit sorry for those people, they knew there was a 50,000 watt radio station there when they started moving in. So did the developers. KGA should not be forced to move because of some people's ignorance or short-sightedness. |

How about the "greatest good for the greatest number"? :-) -- 73, Cecil http://www.qsl.net/w5dxp NOPE!! They had the choice to move there or not. Just like idiots that move in right off the end of an airport runway, then howl about the noise. They want to be PAID because of the jet noise. They KNEW what they were getting into before they moved there. As far as I am concerned, they ought NOT get one thin dime from it. If I move into an HOA, then I should shut up about it and let the old buzzard power-trippers tell me what to do. But I STILL have a choice to not move into such a place. I am too feisty and independent to accept domination. I believe property rights must remain dominant; i.e., your rights end at your property line and mine end at mine. Of course, there has to be some reasonable limits, but what color I *must* paint my shutters? Horsefeathers! Most neighborhoods "conform" simply by osmosis, or peer pressure. Most people are likely to keep their property clean and clutter-free. Most people tend to flock to what they can afford and you will find that neighborhoods tend to catagorize themselves; affuent, middle class, lower middle class, fair, poor, poor-ER. I think HOAs are unnecessary and I will NOT accept them; those puffed up self-important busybodys will have to kick my **** first! So the obvious thing is to just stay away. I am perfectly content in my 1956 ranch w/basement with the fireplaces/inserts, garage and double carport/deck, real plaster walls and knotty pine kitchen. The geese that reside down at a woods nearby are an extra. OH, my house is built FAR better than most of the houses today. During Hurricane Hugo (1989) many of those "fine" houses in my area were blown down like the big, bad wolf. I lost shingles. Nothing more. 96 MPH winds. So, with this unintended rant, I say that I have no sympathy for those "neighbors" that moved next to a pre- existing condition and----well, TOUGH! They shouldna been stupid enough to move there to start with!! LOL! Then to have the arrogance to demand that the tower that had been there for decades(?) have to move, HA! Again, HORSEFEATHERS! (and a few other things). 73 Jerry K4KWH |

Or you put 2% of welfare people on no fat, no cholesterol vegetarian diet and soon the balance would tip back to sanity. Yuri |

Don't work so hard, get a job that is easier and pays less. Get a good survival location, some guns, some food, etc.. Sit back and watch the burnoff of useless eaters as it unfolds. It will be glorious. |

No, they shouldn't. It's just like the people that build houses at the end
of a runway then complain about the noise. "Brenda Ann" wrote in message ... "Jerry Oxendine" wrote in message ... snippage KGA should not be forced to move because of some people's ignorance or short-sightedness. |
