No I can't. If I chose to live in a HOA I'd obey the parking rules. I wouldn't park in someone else's spot and I wouldn't put my car up on cinder blocks.
People who move into HOAs and then think they're exempt from the rules are idiots.
The article I posted wasn’t about someone moving into an HOA and disregarding their rules.
From the article: “On a Friday night last month, Brock pulled his Ford Explorer in front of his home and parked it. Attached to the hitch was a trailer full of sports equipment he uses for his job managing youth sports leagues.
“I’d been home maybe half an hour,” he said, when he came out to get something from the trailer and found a security guard trying to fasten a boot to the trailer wheel.
Brock was confused – and angry. “This is a city-maintained street,” he said, “I was parked legally on a city street.”
Because the HOA doesn’t allow trailers to be parked in front of homes for more than a couple days, Brock drives to his boss’s home in Tijeras every Friday night during league seasons and hauls the trailer to his home in northwest Albuquerque.”
