HOA demands residents sell their cars and renovate their homes before 2026: 'This is the best for the neighborhood'

HOAs do not get much more invasive that this…

Here, we have a resident who had been living in the neighborhood for several years and had been following all the rules and regulations of his HOA to the best of his knowledge. Then, everything changed when a member of the homeowner's associated contacted each resident about the limit they were imposing on the number and type of cars that can be parked outside their homes. Furthermore, they are imposing new required repairs that must be done by 2026 when members of the board will drop in and do inspections of each home in the neighborhood. 

Why are they doing this, one must wonder? Besides the fact that these boards tend to be comprised of bored, nosy individuals with nothing better to do with themselves, it seems the common line they keep dropping is that all of this change is "best for the neighborhood." However, we know what's really best for the neighborhood, and that is dissolving the HOA entirely.

    6:22 CN5Gill 54% Both. We don't want to see them. They need to be in a garage. We are trying to make our neighborhood nicer, and this will help. Some people are renting their campers out in the driveway, and we don't allow renters in the neighborhood. This is the best for the neighborhood. Have a great night. He 0° + 1=11 ...

    6:23 CN 5G 54% 5:59 PM Yeah, that 2 cars per driveway thing doesn't make any sense. That will be another thing I'll discuss with Jim. Because some of us have HUGE driveways. Others have smaller and park in the grass. So that could go both ways. Thanks for the heads up We get that. Still deciding 6:08 PM O® + going to manŬ THIS < III

    6:29 dbay N5G all 53% 6:41 PM, Jul 28 We get that. Still deciding how we are going to make this work, we can't bend rules. We have to have one and stick to it. Changes are only for the best. We might even possibly be getting a gated area and give everyone key cards to get in so we don't have other neighborhoods using our lake. This is private, and we have people that come and go like it's their neighborhood. Yeah, he does not want to argue about this. It's just how it's going to be. Everyone wil

    6:29 CN5G 53% You too. We are excited about this transformation, and some people are mad. So we get it, and it will take time to adjust and get things done. Everything needs to be safe and not trashy. We have big plans for the years to come. Eventually, everyone house will have siding or modern color brick 6:58 PM 0° + |||

    For contexts. I pulled out my side by side yesterday to do yard work. Amd I left my camper slide open for about a week because we were refurbishing.

    No, nobody in my neighborhood is renting out there campers. We live in an old neighborhood. Most of us have HUGE driveways. Just 1 person with a small driveway parks in the grass. This is just ridiculous. This is thousands and thousands of dollars I will lose on a s neighborhood!!!

    TigerUSF 3 hr. ago I'd be reading the CCRs to see what of this is enforceable. CCRs need language to support these things.

    DontBeAJack 3 hr. ago Add siding to brick houses? What thinks that looks better than brick. This is why I'll never buy a house in an HOA

    Badplayer04 OP. 3 hr. ago Exactly. Most of us have brick houses. (Built-in the 50s) none of us understand why they're drying to make this big of a change
