[QUOTE="gcvmom, post: 320109, member: 3444"] I absolutely detest HOA's. But I understand why they exist and the purpose they serve. It's just that I hear of so many that abuse their power and regulate the community to death. Of course, we all have a choice about where we live. And so I don't think I'll ever choose to live where I'm under the thumb of an HOA. I have neighbors who should probably move to a community that has an HOA. They complain about people owning too many cars (my next-door neighbor had five adults living in the house -- two parents and three college-age kids, and they each had a car -- they were able to park all but one car in their driveway). They complain about where people park (one guy acted like he owned the strip of curb in front of his house; another guy didn't like the next-door neighbor parking in front of their own house). They complain about yard ornaments (didn't like the light-up palm tree one neighbor put up instead of a lighted Christmas tree in their front yard; didn't like the kitschy plastic flamingos in another yard). I have a neighbor that detests my pine trees and liquid amber trees because heaven forbid they drop needles or leaves once a year and the wind blows them hither and yon! THESE people need to move to an apartment or condo with all those lovely HOA's. They have no business living in a regular suburban neighborhood. I'm all for hanging your laundry, ANY laundry, in your own back yard. As far as I'm concerned, if I can't see it from the curb, it's none of my business. [/QUOTE]
