Wtf is the driveway for then??

I cannot stand places like this, there's two relatively close to me, and I try to avoid them at all costs. The last time I was in the one city, some little f***er in an orange vest told me my truck was not allowed, something about an ugly car law. Seriously? I was tempted to roll over him.

The other neighbooorhood wanted to TAKE OVER the public school, and not allow any children in who did not live in the preferred areas.  Thankfully, the school told them exactly what they could do with that idea.

My ideal neighborhood is one where neighbors can't see each others house, no one wants to bother with that neighborhood watch crap, and I can have like a mile long driveway... money is just money, I don't understand why people get all collar popped about it.

LOL.  I wondered the same thing.

[but] code "violations" are NOT the purpose of at least our crime watch. 

Years ago, I got 'reported" for having a junky car across the river. I loved the car even more then.  It was a $100 clunker.

You should see some of these back country dumps..   pretty much a mini junkyard. Various suburbs in Chicago dont allow work trucks...

Why does the man take up 2 spaces? 

Rules.  Some are good some are bad, and some are outdated.....

"Little fucker in an orange vest?"
Was this in Sunbury, Pa?

In a cluster of homes or condos where one joins a "home owners association",the rules are already there.If you don`t want to obey the rules,move.

There`s a zillion rules in these places.

You can`t alter your home w/out permission from the HOA.

Can`t change a window or install a skylight.

Can`t use a color not approved by the HOA.

What you may plant can be limited.

You can`t park your boat in the long term parking.

The list is endless for some associations.But it`s what you sign onto when you buy into one of these developments.It can be sucky at times,especially for guests and family visits.

And you give the HOA your fuck`n money, every month.[:'(]

I like the private home w/ plenty of room.But that`s not an option for everyone.

If this guys biggest problem is having three cars with a two car garage,he should count his blessings.

We lived in a neighborhood like that when I was growing up.  Dad owned a trucking company and he wasn't upscale enough for the neighbors.  For the most part they were doctors and educators.

We had no homeowners association at that time.  Just bitchy neighbors.  When mom and dad decided to also take in foster children...it got messy.  We had the police at our door more often than not.
The neighbors basically said they were not allowed to have so many kids.  Four of their own and 3 foster.

Nothing you can really do about bitchy neighbors..other than get along as best as you can.  When my brother passed away they eased up a little on my parents.  I guess they had some empathy for them.

I will dig out my eyeball with a fork and eat it before I ever buy a house or property that is under the control of an HOA or Covenants.

Calla......just a quick note....they now make solar SHINGLES!!!  they are small, thin and flexible and are mounted just like shingles.  Of course, then the HOA will probably bitch about the "glare" from them.
