That’s why I won’t buy property in a restricted subdivision. lol I’m too used to living 12 miles out on a farm with the closest neighbor two miles away.
I’ve never understood the whole HOA thing. Good neighbors are good neighbors even if they have big dogs and rusty pickups and bad neighbors are bad neighbors even if they have clean yards and BMWs.
Yeah, I don’t really want a steer bleeding out in my neighbor’s driveway, but a good neighbor will grill a couple porterhouses and open a couple good beers in exchange for the inconvenience.
