HOA abuse is a virus and in places an epidemic.
If the general deed rastriction MUST be legally holding, giving an HOA certain rights, I would seek a law that (1) forces all HOA’s to rewrite all the HOA rules and restrictions, and all the new rules would have to be approved by not merely a majority of those voting, but a true majority of the residents within the HOA. I would also apply the same majority rule to who gets to sit on the HOA board and all future changes to any HOA rule.
HOAs operate as if they were small cities, without any real democracy in what they can do, yet the houses in them are (in mot cases) supposedly on land owned by the individual families (residents).
Anyone who would buy house where they were not allowed to park in their own driveway is a total moron.
Meatball should go after State HOA’s.
Then don’t live in that neighborhood.
People, tv shows, etc, love to complain about HOA’s.
They have rules in an attempt to preserve a certain value in the neighborhood.
The rules are available when you buy. Don’t buy a house in that neighborhood and then feel justified when you want to be nothing but a problem after you move in?
Why own a house if you can’t park any vehicle in the driveway? Because some single family neighborhoods don’t want to become full of commercial vehicles. It lowers property values. Live somewhere else.
wow no pick up trucks allowed? what about huge SUVs?
I would rather live in a van down by the river than a mansion with an HOA!
