re: Thoughts on HOAs?

Lived in a Centex / DR Horton neighborhood in Texas. HOA was worthless and would give you a notice for not pulling your trash can in right away after pickup but did nothing to control the poors from running the place into the ground.
Live in a much nicer community now on the water, great HOA, they maintain the dock, clubhouse, pool, landscaping, boat / rv storage yard.
Like all things you get what you pay for. Shitty neighborhood, probably a shitty HOA.

Screw em
Why people would voluntarily submit to another level of government including ceding property rights is beyond me.

Problem these days are all the “common areas” that are in new developments. These areas are normally not given to the city/parish are are owned titles to the HoA by the developer. These green spaces and ponds or even pools etc are up-kept and managed by the HoA. In forming the needed responsibility of the HoA they also give them the power and authority to enforce the developments covenant agreements and building codes

If you trashy fricks would put your garbage cans inside we wouldn’t need one.

Pretty crazy a guy would give up property rights over fear of seeing garbage cans

Because it helps protect the property owner from a neighbor who wants to turn their front yard into a junkyard or paint their house to look like a rainbow flag. Drive through any well kept subdivision and chances are it's a covenant restricted neighborhood.

The covenants are usually cookie cutter and aren't worth the paper they're written on. Do what you want and tell them their covenants aren't enforceable.

Do people not read the documents they sign when they move into HOA neighborhoods? You legally agree to abide by the restrictions. Why would you sign such a document if you don’t intend to keep your legal commitment?
I’m on the board of mine and we are very easy to work with. We’ve rarely so much as assessed a fine. We talk to people nicely and most of the time they work with us and vice versa. The one time we had to get lawyers involved it was because the homeowner hired a lawyer first. We won hands down because they were in the wrong.
Don’t buy a house in an HOA neighborhood if you don’t want to abide by restrictions. Move to the country. But to move into one, signing a legal document saying you’ll abide by the restrictions and then saying frick you, I’ll park my RV in the driveway and you can’t tell me different is just stupid

I completely understand what a HOA is, I have also lived in them. Most of the residents are renters or trashy owners
Posted on 5/29/19 at 10:01 pm to RogerTheShrubber
Lol,no. A requirement to keep trash cans inside is not giving up property rights, but go yell at the clouds some more, old man.

Then you don't understand what an HOA is.

You know what? You already brought the premise to Tigerdroppings. I’d just take it all the way at this point.
Lay it on us. Let’s hear it.

HOAs should be considered unconstitutional. No neighborhood should dictate how one uses or alters their property.
I'm sorry someone held a gun to your head and made you buy a home in a HOA neighborhood. A terrible ordeal you went though. Now you will have to find a different place other than your front yard to park the transmission-less camaro.

We knowingly moved into an HOA neighborhood and I requested a copy of the covenants before buying.
Know what you’re getting into. It could actually be a good thing.

I would pay top dollar for an HOA that enforced no street parking, no basketball goals allowed, no rentals, and maintenence of one's front yard.
Thing is, the community has to be gated for them to regulate street parking, and the drunk trashy frickheads always run into it or break it on weekends.

A friend of mine has shared a horror story about an HOA that is making decisions that are directly impacting his property. They make no sense. It’s almost like they are having a “how do we mess with him this month” item on the agenda.
My experience has always been the opposite. The HOA never enforcing the rules.

No greater warning of the dangers of authoritarian rule exists than the neighborhood HOA.
Nah, they exist to protect the community's property values. That's valuable localized self policing.

oh happy day, how can you not love strangers making arbitrary decisions about what you can and cannot do on you own frickin property right down to landscaping and paint color

Get your preliminary title search before buying.
Find the title exception listing the HOA covenants / deed restrictions.
Read them before buying.
If you don’t like them, don’t buy the property.
Is this really that complicated?

Can’t figure out what mine does. Run by an outside management group. About 200 homes at $200 per year equals $40,000 annually. There is no pool or anything like that, just three small lakes/ponds. They put new gravel on the paths around the lakes every few years. Seems like good business if you can get it.
