Would love to see a test of a PODS being a tabernacle as a guaranteed first amendment right.

After all, like the murder of one’s unborn children, sacrificing animals is a Constitutionally protected right....

In order to subdivide a larger parcel in a rural area a landowner needs to build, file and get approved a development plan that MUST have a homeowner association and fees. It is a curse on all future use of the land.


Nasty. Zoning itself is mostly a curse. Huge sets of rules to prevent people from using their land as they like.

Many start with the proviso: anything not allowed in these rules is forbidden! Real totalitarian stuff.

So I suppose the HOA is going to provide security to insure that it’s not “easy pickings” for thieves to help themselves from open garages in that neighborhood?

I'd tell that HOA that I'll leave my garage door open after you sign this contract that the HOA will insure the loss of my possessions and indemnify against any and all charges from children or adults who injure themselves on items in my garage.

The requirement I believe is that it cannot be a permanent structure and only thee walls. If the door was left open it may meat the requirements.

Reason number 987 why I won’t ever live in an HOA community. That being said, define “open”. I would allow the garage door to be “opened” one inch. It is open and not securely closed.... just my way of thinking about it. :)

Or you could sit in your garage in your boxers, in a lawn chair with a cooler of beer next to you and have Lynyrd Skynyrd blasting from a boombox.

Since many would agree that one’s garage is part of the house and I’m allowed to eat a block of cheese while sitting on my couch naked, then it reasons that I could sit in my garage naked while eating said block of cheese during the hours of 8am-4pm. Like Shelly said, I’ve got nothing to hide.

Not always. I lived in an old neighborhood where houses held onto their market value because of the HOA rules.

Problem starts with state statutes. Florida at least.

In order to subdivide a larger parcel in a rural area a landowner needs to build, file and get approved a development plan that MUST have a homeowner association and fees. It is a curse on all future use of the land.

Zoning is local. I'd love to see the Florida statutes you refer to. Or a local statute that requires an HOA.

What’s wrong with a tractor trailer? I have a 20’ container out front and a bus in the yard.

We see drones slowly going through the streets and suspect they film for our HOA. Two neighbors have had inflatable pools—behind their fences where they couldn’t be seen from the road or other houses—and were fined for it.

Ironic too. Some homeowners associations mandate you keep your garage doors closed.

There’s nothing wrong with it in general, but in an urban or suburban neighborhood it may come with all kinds of problems.

I am curious as to whether there is even an HOA rule that bans having someone live in your garage.

Ah yes.

The “a little bit of socialism is far better than property rights” hook.

It seems to me this would not be too difficult to overturn if most members are truly upset. They can go to the next board meeting and raise hell and threaten to recall any board member that does not vote to overturn it.

After all the board is elected by the homeowners.
