We need HOAs or some idiots will paint their house purple or put tractor tires in their front yard. If you want tractor tires, donât move to a HOA neighborhood.
I couldnât even fathom how horrifying it must be to live somewhere there are...purple houses and and yucky stuff in peopleâs yards. Thank God I donât have any real problems like that.
listen my Nonna and Nonno live right by a purple house (itâs a nice lilac) and as a kid I was fucking obsessed with it because purple is my favorite color. Iâd go nuts whenever we passed by it. Also it had a purple mailbox to match and it blew my mind.
No more HOAs. More purple houses.
imagine trying to control what someone else can do with or on their own property just because you don't agree with their taste in decor
NO MORE HOAs MORE PURPLE HOUSES
Related, becuase I just had to move:Â âjust donât move into an HOAâ Do you know what a PAIN IN THE ASS it is to find NON-HOA Housing? Very nearly everything in the CO front range that isnât a rental has an HOA these days!
Short list of the Shit the HOA at my pervious house tried to pull:
Banning personal and community food gardens (The reason the tag for my garden is âThe garden of earthly HOA violationsâ)
Banning people from using thier personal yards as Native Plant Restoration microzones, something that looks gorgeous and is extremely helpful to the local ecology
trying to get the city council to remove protections on adjacent city Open Space/Native Plant restoration zone so they could mow it.
mandating the use of ONE landscaping company in the neighborhood, coinicdentally owned by the HOA presidentâs son
Mandating the use of an unecessary water purification company on all properties.
suing city animal control for collecting lose dogs and cats and returning them to the addresses on thier collars. You know. that thing animal control does so the animals donât get run over or disemboweled by the coyotes or catch and spread rabies. The thing thatâs illegal to let your pet do out here for those reasons Karen.
Suing the city council to remove a city bus stop in the neighborhood that was heavily used by many residents. They damn near got away with it becuase the HOA meetings were always in the middle of the day on a weekday. You know, when the residents that use that stop are working.
Sending people letters threatening to fine them for having âOut Of Seasonâ holiday decor. Specifically targeting my Indian neighbors who were celebrating Diwali, not Christmas and the Jews with visible Menorahs.
Fining people for doing thier own appliance and car repair on thier own personal property
Fining people for operating a business out of thier house, specifically targeting a disabled neighbor that does comission tailoring and garment repair out of her home. never bothered a soul except the one snoopy bitch who didnât like that her clients were allowed to park in the tailorâs designated and otherwise unused parking space.
Trying to fine a neighbor for flying a Pride Flag
HOAs are invasive, bigoted, corrupt and cruel institutions that should never have been allowed to be created. If you live in and HOA area, showing up at the meetings to tell people what the fuck is wrong with them, Joining your HOA board to protect your neighbors and possibly organize the dissolution of the HOA is one of the best things you can do to protect the marginalized members of your community.
FUCK HOAs AND LONG LIVE THE PURPLE HOUSES AND TRACTOR-TIRE GARDENS OF THE WORLD.
Are y'all telling me this shit is actually LEGAL?
Hereâs how to get an HOA to leave you and your purple house tf alone
cant stop thinking about this post. đ
I work in HOA management
Half the shit on that list that person's HOA tried to do, isn't fucking within their right.
The problem is that boards get power hungry and think they can do whatever they want, and while they do have a disproportionate amount of power there are things they absolutely cannot do.
That's why in Florida HOAs need to have a licensed manager contracted if they're above a certain size. That's what I'm for. To tell the board members "no, you're not allowed to do that"
