20+ years ago I chose a gun-friendly state and a job that would pay me to live here.... I let my wife, my mother and my kids choose the house, they wanted it to be larger and newer which meant.... HOA.
I would have very much preferred no HOA, no CCRs.... if I could get rid of them I would.... someday, probably when I retire, I might move... that will be a traumatic event for me (anyone who's seen my hobby room knows why)....
on the theory that one should keep one's friends close.... and one's enemies closer.... I volunteered to serve on the HOA board....
.... this year, I find it humorously ironic that I am the president of both my HOA and my Ham Radio Club!
