Why do we have them anymore? Real estate is hurting as it is and there's droughts EVERYWHERE (one of the first things HOAs comaplains about is your lawn).

I do a small part-time manufacturing gig with my friend in his garage. We cut and pack PVC pipe target stands for shooting targets. It was Sunday late mornings, generally starting around 10, and people were still bitching about sound. ******** you, its 10am, perfectly acceptable time to start using power tools.

I can't use power tools, I can't start a veggie garden, and I can't put a tiny beehive in my backyard. But They can put a school across the street from my house and have kids scream like they're being murdered at all hours of the day. rolleyes

Fun fact, there was once a guy who went to jail for a bad lawn.
The sad part is, this isn't the ONLY case of people going to jail for their bad lawns.

Those particular grass types are notorious for being uneven, dying even in good water and moderate light, suck at achoring to the soil, and are bad for the soil. But they're the required kinds. That's too many levels of dumb to make a law for someone to have in their yard with no alternative for me to list in one sitting.

Not a surprise. My neighborhood is a part of the HOA. Years ago, my next-door neighbor painted her deck white. HOA rules says your deck can't be painted (it can be stained, though). They told her to get rid of the paint or they'll tear down her deck and make her build a new one. Needless to say, her deck was torn down.

It's in what looks like a fenced in back yard. I'm confused.

What color do they want it to be?

I understand that HOAs can be a good thing and keep neighborhoods clean and nice looking, but this is a little nitpicky. Especially since they wouldn't go for gray, either.

HOA's are regulated and work with (sometimes owned by) real estate companies. I can totally understand 'Citizens Cleanup Community' or something where neighbors get a say with stuff and the only laws are basic ' nothing lethal' and 'clean up your stuff' ones. I don't understand lawn regulations, color rules, or even bans on non-poisonous flowers in yards.

HOA never like anything and find anything to nitpick about to make themselves feel 'big'.>>;

HOAs are almost always run by entitlement minded douche bags. Everything has to be their way, no room for anyone else.

OK, if it's in their own backyard and in no way totally visible from the streets, just let it be. I can understand certain regulations regarding what the front of a house should look like in some areas, but there really needs to be more wiggle room for the backyard. A backyard, like the inside of a house, is a reflection of the people who live there. It shows what they like to do outside.

I never want to live in a neighborhood run by an HOA. ._.

I want to be able to do what I want with my home. I mean, I paid for it. o3o

Hoa is nothing more than a group of people wanting a cookie cutter community.
One little difference and they flip their s**t.
