    My neighborhood technically has an HOA. The problem for our newest Karen Boomer neighbor is that the HOA only has power over common areas and the greenbelt bordering the road outside our little slice of Americana.

    If i want to paint my house like a giant pride flag and grow wild flowers as a front yard there's nothing anyone can say or do about it. (There is a house that is John Deere green and yellow and one that they decided to 12 foot fence right up to the sidewalk around their entire plot and the hardest of Denver bronco fans as I have ever seen with his orange shiny house with blue awnings. good on them I say.)

    She decided to introduce herself by breaking out the clipboard "To take notes for the next board meeting" while the moving company is still carrying ☐ into her house. I was elbows deep in ripping a car love Subaru h bart (gotta ets) when she stopped in Tum of my house with her notes. So I smiled and walked my greasy, oily, ☐, bald over there to offer to shake her hand and welcome her to the neighborhood. She recoiled pretty quick.

    I was particularly happy to be the one to explain that her notes mean nothing because the 6 board members and pretty much everyone else in the neighborhood all like having a non HOA HOA. She was not amused. 3 meetings later making 0 headway her house was back on the market. good riddance.

    BO, you're going to d in that house. You ain't selling anytime soon, so why are you so worried about property value?
  • 09
    Because you're not. You're worried about keeping the "undesirables" (read: or poor people) out of your neighborhood

    Wintercat76 12 hr. ago In my HOA, every house hold has the same number of votes on any matter at the annual meeting where we discuss important stuff such as the date of the annual street party and who arranges it this year.
  • 14
    Arranging it involves changing the date on the invitation from the previous years and sending out the e-mail. The HOA has the power to decide on the type of hedge and its height, but only in case of a disput between neighbours.

    AsteriodZulu · 10 hr. ago We don't have HOAS here in Australia, excluding buying into Over 55s developments where you don't own the land, but what you describe seems to me to be what a HOA should be involved in. Common areas.
