Yep,and I was even president of one.Our dues are only $45/year.There were several that stayed on the BOD and thought they ran the community. I started a grass roots movement and we got all them tossed out and every thing quieted down.Main problem was they made me president. This was more than a few years ago, I'm just an old grumpy curmudgeon now now, but I drive a Chevy 2500HD, not a Subaru. Ours is a 295 home community, 5 acre lots on 1200 acres. .
The BOD does not go out and police and we don't have a management community attending to it. Only way something gets action is if a neighbor complains which is rare now and we have an arbitration clause.
The problem with people bitching about HOA's is they won't get involved and fix it.
If God wanted you to walk and carry things on your back, He would not have invented stirrups and pack saddles
If I were stuck in suburbia hell, then I probably might to have a halfway decent neighborhood maybe?
That's a big maybe.
But no and fugk no so far. I don't need some dried up cat lady khundt deciding what color I can paint my kids bedrooms, or whether I can change the oil in my driveway, or or or or.

Tikka, we have been getting some great light shows here, I'll bet you see some from your patio. We were in the mountains yesterday and some of those lightning strikes and a hard rain sent us home. You have to take those flash floods seriously.

I had a home in a lake community in the Poconos, my house was right on the lake. $1100/year, 400 houses in the community, only 300 paid the HOA fee. We had a large pool, tennis courts, security, snow plowing and garbage disposal. I recently sold it, got tired of the new neighbors, the lake dam was due a major repair mandated by the State.
Hell no. Definitely not cut out for subdivision life. I’m building out one now and feel bad imposing the covenants on the buyers. It’s a necessary evil sometimes in order to create affordable housing, I’ll leave it at that.
l told my pap and mam I was going to be a mountain man; acted like they was gut-shot. Make your life go here. Here's where the peoples is. Mother Gue, I says, the Rocky Mountains is the marrow of the world, and by God, I was right. - Del Gue
If I get out that way, and if it’s cool enough, I wanna sit right there and drink a beer at that fire pit.

This Storm system swept threw Our Community in Arizona and washed out 4 roads. One of the video clips our Board of directors sent us was over 60 ft wide who knows how deep. Our Volunteers jumped on it with in hours of the storm moving out and fixed 1 major road so people and contractors could get out. The Storm swept threw again with in 24 hour and took their work out. They were back on it hours after that one past and they are fixing the roads every day until they get them fixed. Our Board of Directors are having meetings on how and where to do permanent improvements like Culverts , Drainage and Spill Walls to slow the damage down when systems like this run threw our Community. I happily pay the fee and I am a year ahead on that payment. With out the POA I would not be able to get in and out of my property Our Board only doe Road stuff nothing about our personal property's. There have been some members of our Community that want to rule everyone and everything they do. I fight them and so do others. Nazi's are everywhere you just need to fight them.
