Because they are a bunch of rich snotty yuppies, who moved in to this addition and built huge expensive homes and are now trying to regulate what the rest of us do on our land, such as in these by laws it says they will form a committee that anyone wanting to build on their land anything from a home to a shop or garage, or barn has to submit their plans, what type of material will be used etc. and have it APPROVED by the committee before it can be done. All in the name of protecting property value.

Is what these people are failing to see is they moved into an addition that already had some really nice places all the way down to some really dumpy places. IMO if they didn't like it they shouldn't move in THEN try to change it. I get mad just thinking about it. Our place is average. About 1700 sq. ft. we have done alot of clearing, we have a shed type barn, and a shop made of barn tin that is painted to match the house. But it is nothing like these huge homes with their manicured lawns. Sorry I will end my rant here.

Well, find a huge ratty cardboard box and flatten it, take a magic marker and write "Turnips for Sale" or something like that and set it up by your driveway. That should really get them upset. JK. Actually that's too bad. The associations are a bear to deal with. They keep asking us to vote on things that cost thousands of dollars and would raise the cost of our monthly payment. We keep voting them down. But they sure are a pain in the rear.

Well, that's what zoning and planning boards are for, to make sure that buildings are done according to code and standard.

Have you recently comped the neighbood? Has the sale price of houses but better or worse? Have assesed value been going up?

If you don't want a HA, fight it now. Once they are in place, they are pretty hard to get rid of.

Becky:

Not too far from where I live the same type of yuppies built right close to an airport which had been in business for many years. It wasn't too long before they were doing all they could to "quiet" the airport. They lost. Ha ha.

Do whatever you can to prevent this "yuppie dictatorship" from getting established.
