i have heard numerous things all over the country about home owners associations (hoa’s).
i have even heard they can seize your house for various reasons.
in my area you are not allowed to paint you house any color without approval and you are not allowed to have an unattached building on your own property.
some places i have seen do not allow certain types of cars.
the rules go on and on, from how high your grass, to the type of mail box, to even what dog you can own in your own house.
do you all feel this is right? my feeling is the hoa started out as a good thing that has turned into a power trip in the effort to control what others do.
they say its to protect “property values” but to me, unless it is a safety situation, nothing, even money, should trump property rights.
to me hoa’s are slowly but ever more encroaching on property rights, they say don’t mave there then, but so much land has been bought up for development, it is about impossible now.
there is getting fewer and fewer options on where to live that is not in an hoa. i have no problem where i am at, but they changed the rules after i bought the house.
i just think property rights is one of the fundemental great things about america, and it seems some bozos are trying to take that away from us, little at a time.
whats next, telling you what you are allowed to watch in your house? no “R” rated movies before 10pm?
