No way would I live in a community that has a homeowner’s association……...

Kansas City suburbs, on both sides of the border, are built by developers. The developers leave behind named subdivisions with Home Owner Associations. It's very hard to find a house built in the last 25 years or so that isn't in an HOA. It's not an entirely bad system, many of these subdivisions include neighborhood pools and a lot of social activites, but when you get stuck in one with a power-hungry HOA board then it can't be fun. My sister lives on the Kansas side in Leawood and she says her board is filled with business executives, business owners, and professionals and it's almost impossible to get them to agree on anything.

No rules about goose stepping but we are allowed to stomp baby ducks and drown kittens in the lake.

A house that is in a neighborhood near me was painted a bright stop sign yellow with bright reddish purple trim. It is a very contemporary square box with a flat roof. It is in an older neighborhood of 50 &. 60’s traditional.

I can't believe that this ugly beast was approved by the committee but it remained that color for a number of years.

Now it has been painted beige and while that is easier to look at, it is still an ugly box.

Jail?

first this is a civil matter not a criminal matter.

second it is generally VERY illegal to threaten jail time for not following civil demand letters.

it would only be if there was contempt and since the fines were tossed, I doubt that very much.

Stout said she considered the purple color to be “harmonious” because it matches the color of the trees in the fall,

Is she dropping acid?

What's so odd about that? The tree in my neighbour's yard—some sort of prunus, I think—is purple already. It starts turning that way almost as soon as the leaves come out. If there were enough such trees in these people's yard, that swing set would fit right in. Why assume that "harmonious with nature" means "at the height of July"?

HOA’s are evil and yet many on FR support them.
