We dumped our last HOA after a feminist bimbo on the board decided she didn't like us anymore and raised our dues. Paid her off in cash and told her to F!@# off and kiss my @ss. Made her cry. I wish I had a camera.

Thats Utah for ya, You gotta love Hooper....it's wayyyyyy out there in the boonies
In Austin, there is a wonderful plant nursery that is at an intersection on the western loop around the city. High dollar neighborhoods all around, but not immediately adjoining the nursery. They put flamingos out once as an advertising "keep Austin weird" thing. The neighbors had SUCH a fit that they had to drive past this display and tried to shut them down throug legal means that it got into the newspaper - and guess who ended up looking foolish and entirely out of place in Austin and guess who else puts the flamingos (a giant flock of them) out EVERY year now and is famous for it?
In this case, it was the "upscale" neighbors who were considered to be "ruining the neighborhood" for the rest of the city. So it's all a matter of perspective.
Another of life's examples.... Money can't buy you common sense or taste.

Yeah look at Donald trump's taste...maybe some people like it and I know it cost a lotand is standing out...but it is for sure not my taste....lucky me since I couldn't afford it, and by the way the Russian guy who bought his Flroida mansion is going to build a new house and get rid off the old....just what you can do with some money.
I'm so glad I'm not upscale...would hate to have to lose my sense of humor and individuality!
Thank goodness our HOA isn't overly anal Long as the grass gets mowed and the houses aren't day glo orange or bold turquiose, our flamingos can quietly stand guard
well whatever floats your boats folks....
what money buys is in the eye of the holder
I lived for some years in a OC CA neighborhood that had a flock of pink flamingos. Periodically in the middle of the night you lawn would be invaded by a dozen of these creatures. You were expected to put up with them for a few days and then collect them when you cut the grass. It was then your call as to when and where they reappeared. Finally a good part of the flock ended up on a roof line...an installation stunt unlikely to be repeated by mere mortals. After paying $150 to remove them the flianingos were retired.
We also have a neighboring cul-de-sac with a rather aggressive peacock. My dog walks past at all times keeping me between he and the peacock. Probably violates some ordinance but nobody asks...
LOVE HOA's!!! They keep the area clean and nice and property value up!
Unfortunately you are right...I wish we could do without but it has been proven in this area that with a HOA the communities look better, just because some A$$ don't want to pick up their papers and mow their yards and need to be treated like their in school.
