Battle between homeowner and HOA over truck could lead to foreclosure

[Wut]

Your house is most likely the biggest investment most people will ever make. It makes sense that people want to protect that investment. If I could do it all again I'd choose a HOA 100% of the time.

Not me, I think they'd be a pain in the ass.

"One of our drug sniffing dogs"? That belongs to an HOA security team?
That has to be a screen-cap from a The Onion article.

Cook marijuana ? To inject? Is this a thing?

It has to be a satire site, read some of the other posts. The HOA put down a puppy for getting loose and making a threatening gesture at security,.....

Been there, done that. My HOA was fine. They didn't help, but the they didn't hurt. The only time I heard someone complain was when they wanted to do something outside of the rules. As mentioned before, if you don't like the rules, but somewhere else. Silly stuff:

- nothing on your deck except a grill, table and chairs. Someone asked to put a hot tub on it. Denied.
- Tons of trees everywhere and no grass. One guy wanted the HOA to cut a bunch of trees and plant a lawn (on common land). Nope.
- It was near a small airport. A new owner wanted the HOA to pay for a lawyer to sue the airport for noise. WTF???
- We had 2 parking spots. Someone wanted the HOA to pay to pave additional spots for their use. No, thanks.

Anyone that lived there for years understood. It was always someone new that didn't bother to READ before they bought. I do miss someone else dealing with snow removal, trash, roads, pools, etc. That's a trade-off.

Fuck people like that. I'm (well, was) a civilian pilot, and have a lot of respect for the hobbyist pilot and plane owner. In almost all cases, the small airport was there long before any of the homes were ever built. In a lot of cases, they were former military air bases. Then some douchebag land developer buys up the nearby cheap land and builds little garbage houses for a quick buck. *Then* some self-entitled asshat thinks the neighborhood needs to quiet down that peaceful small airport, or try to enforce noise abatement agreements with it.

It's like complaining about the smell of pigshit because your house got built downwind from a multi-generational pig farming operation.
