Morons more concerned with the resale value of their property than the right of others to not feel like Marine Recruits on Day One in their own homes
Illinois needs a CCW Law. NOW.

To an extent I can agree with asking people to show a bit of respect for the neighborhood as nobody wants trashy people driving down their resale value (car on blocks on lawn). Unfortunately with all these things HOA, Strata-Councils, Co-Op councils it turns into petty bullying and is usually run by people who apparently have all the time in the world to play these games. Unfortunately they are often not employed full time so they have more time to put into the game than you can afford and often you end up just leaving in frustration
My biggest handicap is that sometimes the hole in the front of my head operates a tad bit faster than the grey matter contained within.

Meh, it's no big deal. No one has to join a HOA. Just get a house elsewhere. I like city living, no HOAs to deal with.
That, and I hate cookie-cutter housing subdivisions.

Everyone has a choice where they live. Bottom line, if you don't like the HOA rules, then move. You wouldn't complain about a HOA if it prevented or stopped a neighbour from destroying the atmosphere of a community and demanded that they remove their 2 broke down cars, 3 washing machines and piles of garbage in the front yard. HOA help the resale of homes (in most cases) by maintaining a decent looking neighbourhood, and to a lot of people out there this means alot.

Reading this thread has really surprised me.... A lot of the stuff that we read on here says how Free America is and the lack of external intervention that there is, compared to some other countries.... Yet I really can't see any of this HOA crap flying at all over here in the U.K..... Talk about schizo

A voluntary set of rules (like a HOA) is a lack of freedom?

Now, I did say for the most. The last neighborhood that I lived in could do nothing about the shorty dragpipes that I ran on my bike nor could they do anything about my 57 or my 80 El Camino. They sure did bitch a lot though and I sure did rap the pipes every time I passed the house of the complainers.
