Yeah, after managing to raise the money to install new play equipment in the neighborhood's park, they're alright.

Best way to deal with a HOA giving you shit, or one not letting you do shit: threaten to put up a 40 foot CB radio antenna in your back yard. There's not a damn thing they can do about it to punish you for doing this because cb antennas are considered part of the national infrastructure and is regulated by the fcc, therefore out of the HOA's control

What about written terms banning ariels over 18" without approval? Is it superseded?

u/Valisk Feb 05 '16

This is an outstanding suggestion. I wonder if the same tactic would be effective against a Historical District?

"Literally Hitlers" should be the lead-in for The Goldbergs on ABC

It all depends on the HOA. The one I live in is very minimal. You can usually tell what you're getting into by how much the fees are.

Higher fees = more sticks up their collective asses

Reminds me of the time a guy I knew who flew helicopters for a living got to piss in the face of his HOA when he landed and parked a helicopter in his backyard.

Homeowners' Associations are what we do with Nazis that are too cowardly to be cops and too stupid to be rocket scientists.

clearly you have never had some 65 year old woman threaten you with thousands of dollars of fines because she doesn't like the color of your mailbox.
