: I work with a guy that is the president of a Home Owners Association. Talk about an asshole. A woman in his area approached him to get permission to have a yard sale. Of course he vacillated, and she grew angry. He reassured her that her request would be considered by the council. Of course, her request was denied. All those cars parking in front of other people's property would not be fair to the other people. Fair, fair, fair. boy have I tired of this word. This guy seems severely traumatized by the fact that these neighborhood associations no longer have the ability to regulate satellite antennas 39.37" or smaller in diameter. We have trouble with our interloping neighbor even though we don't live in an area covered by these prohibitions. The neighbor is the vice president of the city council in the small borough that we live in near Pittsburgh. We first moved here, she expressed a desire for us to cut down (for safety reasons of course LOL), every freakin tree on our property. She made sure to tell us that the leaves on our property were "our responsibility" to rake up. (hell, I didn't put them there, the trees should have to rake them up). We had the diseased trees removed at a considerable cost, and had the others trimmed. You think that she would have had a geriatric orgasm. Noooo, she found more things to harp about. My son had bought a 1967 Chevy that we parked at the top of our driveway, even though the car was not licensed, as it needed work before it was roadworthy. We were away for the weekend when the local police drove onto our property and tagged our car as abandoned, we had a week to get the car licensed. Enter Classic car plates. We had to get regular plates for our car, then subsequently applied and were issued classic car plates. The car was legal, they couldn't tow it, and there it sat as before her interloping started. But she never quits. We wanted to erect a privacy fence, but in this relatively dilapidated neighborhood, believe it or not, there is an ordinance against them. We had to resort to a shadow box fence. Prior to this, we had the property surveyed, and the front of our property includes a small part of what the neighbors assumed were theirs. Apparently the loss of a small part of their property was too much to bear, as the survey spike was removed and moved closer to our property. Imagine this woman in charge of a homeowners association? I'd rather live in the country in West Virginia (I like West Virginia, very pretty country) with a refrigerator on the front porch and a small junk yard in my front yard than to live in a neighborhood covered by a covenant. Years ago in a telecommunications magazine, I read an article in which an amateur had crafted an antenna, essentially a pole with a narrow skirt, and placed it in the yard. He told the neighbors that it was a birdfeeder, and that the design was to preclude squirrels from climbing it. The only problem was that other neighbors began to ask if he could help them construct similar birdfeeders. Well, at least theirs won't require a buried wire running to them. http://www.arrl.org/FandES/field/reg...trictions.html Big BIG mistake, its all over for him.

Typical example where that woman runs her house with an iron hand and
tries to do the same with other households, like yours. Just do as she tells you or she may sell your home from under you. She needs to wake up. The would doesn't revolve around her.

We had the diseased trees removed at a considerable cost, and had the others trimmed. Trees! Can't live with 'em, can't live without 'em! Mr. T moved into one of our most exclusive suburbs back in the 80s. Like many new homeowners, he wanted to do some landscaping. In Mr. T's case, landscaping meant shaving everything outside his mansion down to a stubble. Mr. T announced his landscaping decision with a wailing chainsaw. The startled neighbors reacted as strongly as if T had been firing a poorly aimed automatic weapon. Amusing court battles between the Newly Wealthy Thespian and the Inheritors of the Robber Barons ensued. Oh, if only the oil refiners, the meat packers and the industrialists who built the North Shore suburbs had the foresight to see that an environmental vandal might show up right there in their midst!! And all of this happened without CC&Rs. Just as well. I'd pity the fool who'd try to write up Mr. T to a Homeowner's Association. You think that she would have had a geriatric orgasm. Noooo, she found more things to harp about. My son had bought a 1967 Chevy that we parked at the top of our driveway, even though the car was not licensed, as it needed work before it was roadworthy.

I have no doubt that most Homeowner's Associations are run by decent and reasonable folk. I'm sure that's true of most small public governments, as well. But what happens when things go bad? Given the sorry state of human nature, it will, sooner or later. There's small time control freaks in private and public life. But we have a better chance with them if we don't sign away our rights.
