HOA thoughts

[desertsun41]

HOAs are communist organizations. Until they pay your mortgage they should shut their mouths and let people enjoy their right to a peaceful existance and enjoy the fruits of the land they own and to do as they please (within the law and not hurting anyone) with it.

I, my father, and my father's father fought and shed blood for the so called freedoms we enjoy today. By giving up some of those rights to some power hungry non law enforcement agency is something North Koreans and Cubans can tell you a little something about.

I just do not see the draw to these HOAs. The usual answers are that they maintain order. Oh yea so did Hitler. They prevent the neighbor from collecting junk cars. Oh yea so do the city code enforcement officers that you pay city taxes to. But they do our front lawns. Oh yea but for $20 a month you can hire a landscaping company to do that for you, it's cheaper then what HOAs charge. But they maintain the community pool. So instead go to the YMCA for $2 and swim all day.

It's better to live on your feet then to die on your knees.
Freedom is never more then one generation from extinction.
Death to HOAs.

I don't want to see junk cars in driveways, boats on trailers, jet skis on trailers or boat trailers in driveways. HOA had a neighbor remove his boat on a trailer in the driveway just this week. City finished the job up by making him move his oversize boat trailer out of the street. Each week, he'd add one more piece of junk to the collection.
You don't like HOAs don't move into a neighborhood that has one. Freedom of choice.
