Very sad to see such abuse of power. I think everyone should vote every
elected official out at the next opportunity. Let's start with a clean
slate and make the lousy reps get regular jobs like the rest of us.

Michigan require land use permits?) If I want to put a private use runway

Scott,

Thanks Ace...

I guess one of my buttons got pushed...I just think it's such a shame
that people in general (and I'm guilty of it too) just look the other
way at "bad government" and let elected officials get away with the
stuff they do. I mean, how many of us would get to break laws at work
and not get fired? MAYBE government would get better if elected
officials actually feared voters? 2 cents worth...

Actually, all that is needed is for consumers to
reject covenant communities, as I have always
done.

Yup - as long as those consumers know what they are getting into.

In more than a few places, the buyer doesn't know a house has covenants
unless they ask exactly the right questions and insist on the answers
in writing. Many folks live in houses with very restrictive covenants
without ever realizing it, because they don't do anything that violates
the covenants.

One of the ironies of all this is that covenanted properties tend to
appreciate in value more slowly than unrestricted ones. This makes them
less expensive - and more popular with buyers.

When I bought my present house, the real estate agent
had no idea about any restrictions concerning this
property. After a lot of digging they were uncovered.

Hopefully not literally!

The real kicker in all of this is the buyer who doesn't know the right
questions to ask,
and how to evaluate the answers. A verbal statement by the agent, owner
or anybody
else is worthless when confronted by legally recorded covenants in
black-and-white.

These questions have to be asked up-front - preferably before even
looking at a
property.

Always remember that RE agents don't make any money until a sale
closes.

Shove those antenna up the landlords ass. Ask him if he would rather

Landlords suck assholes.

Gee, maybe you should save your money and buy your OWN home,
then you can do what you want with it.
An even better experience would be, buy a home with your own money
and rent it to those that think "Landlords suck assholes"
After a few missed rent payments your outlook will suddenly change, you
will
wonder why does that %^&$#^$ think I should support him. It's not my fault
he lost
a job, got fired, car broke down, had to take the kid to the emergency
room.
It's not my fault he didn't save any money for a rainy day!
My most fun story is the guy that replaced a mailbox, he was in the
middle
of
being kicked out. He went out and bought a $40 mailbox expecting me to
pay
for it.
I told him to keep the mailbox. When he left he took the mailbox. The post
for this
mailbox was a buried telephone pole, it wasn't going anywhere.
When I installed my new $5.00 mailbox I mounted a 2"x6" board to the
pole
with
5" x 5/16" lag bolts, then I mounted the mailbox to the 2x6 with seven 3
1/4" drywall
screws.
I would have liked to seen his face when he whacked that mailbox and it
didn't go
flying away. I hope he didn't hurt himself, NOT
He was gone about three days before he did this. I waited another week
and
put up a new mailbox.

PS. One day the toilet overflowed I had to remove about 40 kotex from the
sewer
pipe one cold day in January.

PSS. sold all the rentals no more %^&$#^$ to put up with.

This is increasingly becoming a pipe dream, as more and more neighborhoods
put together ******* CCA's or whatever they call them this week, and dictate
what color paint you can have on your home, what sort of topiary, and
countless other minutia.

Generally neighborhoods don't put them together. Homeowners
associations and the related CCR's found in the deed are usually
required by either city or county planning commissions as a tradeoff
for denser than normal housing in planned communities. With those
restrictions you usually get community open space and some level of
community recreation facilities, etc.

Whether they are good or bad or something in-between really depends on
what you want in your locality. Some of us enjoy the freedom to do
more-or-less what ever we want with our house. Along with that right
comes the responsibility to acccept whatever your next-door-neighbor
does with his house. About 10 miles away is a community with out a
HOA that is composed of 80 year old well maintained brick or wood
colonial houses. One guy has painted his brick home contrasting colors
of purple, pink and blue. Another puts fills up most of his yard with
at least 100 beatup plastic santas and other xmas paraphernalia. And
yet a third house has a very large oak that was chainsaw sculpted to
look like a 30 foot nude with huge breasts and 2 large branches made
into arms extended open toward the house. And these are neighborhoods
with houses that sell for $900,000 and up.

I would prefer to not have stuff like that next door and am willing to
trade off the right to paint my mailbox any color.

Covenant communities should be outlawed.

Why should they be outlawed? If you don't like them just move to a
location where there isn't a home owners association.

Whatever
happened to a man's home being his castle (i.e. personal property rights)?

What specifically are personal property rights. I have yet to find the
locality where you can do anything you want on your property.

Yeah, I believe THAT one I don't know any landlords that would be
scared of you and fall for that crap. When I was a landlord, that
wouldn't fly. No rent check? Get that refrigerator box and set up behind
Wal Mart you lowlife slug.



I hear SC has a side-by-side box, by far the nicest abode behind Wal-Mart.

Tenants do indeed suck. Take John Griffin for instance.

He's always late with the rent and when he does get it together on last day
before eviction notices go out, he pays it lots of small dirty bills that
have been God knows where.

Even though the lease stipulates NO PETS, John raises gerbils and collects
toilet paper tubes. Have you ever smelled gerbil ****?

Then there are the overnight guests who never leave. John's trailer
comfortably accomodates four. But between his mom's tricks and his loser
friends, there's always at least ten folks there clogging up the septic
system.

Parking is always an issue. In addition to John's **** brown '76 Pacer the
above mentioned hangers-on park their assorted trucks, old cabs and pre 80's
GM sedans with torn vinyl roofs in such a manner that the short bus that
John rides to the special school district can't get through.

Then I suggest, your agent sucks, your title company sucks, and your closing
agent sucks. To be enforceable, conveants must be a matter of record and
real estate professionals have an obligation to search the records.
