    LMAO!

    Our one-(wo)man self-appointed HOA would have absolute fits.

    And you know I'd decorate it for every holiday, too.

    I have a love/hate with the HOA. I don't like another layer of government but I also don't like it when a neighborhood goes downhill. Equally worse, when there is no HOA and busybodies take it upon themselves to police the neighborhood (happened in my Parker subdivision).
    When an HOA works for you, I agree. Most of the are extortionistic busybodies that charge you money for the privilege of informing you that you cannot install a brass kickplate on your door, or that you can only have two vehicles or some other bullshit.

    We've got a thread on Nextdoor going on about three houses that may or may not be abandoned on a specific street, and their yards look like hell- what can be done? Every year it's the same. One year, the home owner turned out to be an elderly invalid, so the neighbors got together and worked a rotating schedule for lawn care for him. There are times when Nextdoor's power can be used for good.

    Then there are other times when it provides the Hatfields and the McCoys more ammo for continued warfare...

    Some gal just posted that she needs her hedge trimmed. After a few beers I'm going to make a few comments.

    We are in a covenant (no HOA fees) "community". They actually have it so one must be approved for something as simple as a storm door. We will likely stay here long enough for the home value to appreciate enough to move out. Don't want to be in a HOA anymore. I'd rather have Uncle Cletus' rusting, on blocks 68 Ford next door and be able to do whatever the heck I want/need w/ my house. Goal will be to move to a place w/ a little land. Being in an HOA brings out my feisty libertarian streak (concerning issues not of moral importance).

    I hear ya. We have a voluntary HOA for those that feel the desperate need to pay to belong to something, and there are some covenants that came with the place. Most of them made sense: leave a 3' easement in the back yard for workers installing cable, no roosters, and stuff like that. The one that infuriates me is that the Architectual something-or-other has to give their 'permission' in order to change our sliding glass deck door to french doors. I don't know why. It doesn't affect us right now (but may in the future if we decide to go that route), and I understand that DC won't allow any permits to be pulled without the committee's approval...but it chaps my butt just the same.

    Some dude got all butt hurt because some lady said one can rid one's land/property of prairie dogs by putting bubble gum down their holes.

    Apparently he would be calling the police and animal control for what I am fairly sure is legal.

    I'd live to know that myself. Tried dandelion killer but it seems to have encouraged them. Maybe I'll throw down bubblegum.
