Among other violations, the HOA says the plants don't hide the foundation.

Sorry, Dorothy, the HOA is the overlord of your property. Never ever move into an HOA.

This is why I would never buy a home under control of a HOA. They typically are dominated by busybody nitwits.

HOAs are poison - you give control over your property to a committee of local busy bodies.

HOAs as an entity must die 1000 deaths.

In before the FReepers that love their HOA;

You know, the ones who prefer security over freedom, the ones who want everyone in their neighborhood to march in lockstep with everyone else.

Keeps their property values higher, dontcha know.

A coupe of observations.

The plants are not full grown. Will they eventually cover the foundation?

Why not just pile up pine straw 4 inches next to the house to cover the foundation.

. Never ever move into an HOA.

When administered properly, an HOA is a necessity. I have lived under one for 18 years and all they have done is good for the complex.

It's not loaded with busy bodies who are ultimately the sources of these problems.

The problem with HOA's is that the only people willing to run for office are the left wing anal retentive nazis who want to control everything by the book.

With that being said, your HOA is only as good as the people you elect to the board. There is no way in hell this couple would have been attacked by the board members in my complex and would have likely been celebrated for attention to their property........

We stay away from HOA’s and other Communist party block cells in general.

I am not a fan of HOAs, and would probably never live anywhere where there was one, but if you move in, read the contract, and don’t while when they enforce the terms.

Do HOAs give bitter idiots a platform to exercise ridiculous authority over thing like flying the American flag or POW/Mia flag or this?

Dumb! Read all the HOA documents **before** buying the home. There are many advantages to being in an HOA development, but, restrictions as well.

If a person doesn’t have the disposition to be an HOA homeowner, then they should look elsewhere.

I don't have any pity for people that move into a home/condo and then complain about the association rules.

Take the HOA to court, to prove they are a higher law than the municipal codes of the town.

You're not part of an HOA?

See what happens next year if you don't ever mow your lawn.

One of my neighbors once went and put a whole bunch of plastic pink flamingos out on their property line after an HOA committee head neighbor complained about their little boat sitting in the driveway creating a neighborhood eye sore.

Quite entertaining.

They ended up moving away, so did we.

Those are Sago Palms, they take ages to grow. My flowers did not cover the foundation either until they got some age on them.

So so very happy to be out of Texas and out of a HOA dictatorship.

Way I see it, and it's a long shot, he's got to buy everybody a Wizard Organizer or an astronaut pen. I wonder if he's got a "guy."
