People are solving the problems with their HOA all the time - they move.
Be a dark day in .... before I'd move where ANYbody gets to watch and control what I do on my property - and make me pay through the nose for the privilege.
I'd rather have half the house (I do) and many times the land (I do) and not one neighbor who can even see my yard - a 40' buffer of forest between me and the road.
In the summertime I sunbathe in my hammock and get a tan with no tan lines...
I mow my lawn when I want to, not when someone measures the grass and says it 1/4" to high.
I would not, NOT, make a good neighbor in a Socialist gulag.
This neighborhood has none of the problems you speak of. It’s great free living except for a couple of tyrants we can’t rid ourselves of who want just a few of us to pay for everything.
Florida Gators babeeee!
We took the best advice offered on this thread, and several of us decided to run for board position. This is the response by the board:
NOTE: The board has voted to NOT allow candidates to state their positions on any business related to KRCE. They will only publish a biography of the candidate. This is outside the perimeters of California law.
This is the wording of the board in the April, 2008 Klamagram:
“Biographical statements may not advocate any particular position on any issue, nor can they contain campaign statements. The Association shall not edit or redact any Biographical statement content but will REJECT those statements that contain prohibited items”
The ONLY way to interpret this is that the Board does not want you to know what you’re voting for. Ask them their positions on issues important to all of us. One man stated that he didn’t need to know about issues, he just wants to know the candidates education, business background.....YES, well that is why we have terrible politicians in our government! If you don’t care about issues, what do you care about?
1363.03. ELECTIONS; RULES AND PROCEDURES. (Operative July 1, 2006)
(a) An association shall adopt rules, in accordance with the procedures prescribed by Article 4 (commencing with Section 1357.100) of Chapter 2, that do all of the following:
(1) Ensure that any candidate or member advocating a point of view is provided access to association media, newsletters, or Internet Web sites during a campaign, for purposes that are reasonably related to that election. Equal access shall be provided to all candidates and members advocating a point of view, including those not endorsed by the board, for purposes that are reasonably related to the election. The association shall not edit or redact any content from these communications, but may include a statement specifying that the candidate or member, and not the association, is responsible for that content.

Can you put up a short little fence to block the view of the trashcans where you had them originally? That would hide them from view.
BUMP!
