Your convenience and how people percieve you is all that matters to you.

So we should all pay $400,000 or $500,000 for a house and have some jerk put his RV up on blocks next to it, or run a body shop out of it and lower the value of OUR house?

I think not.

I bought my house precisely because it had a HOA.

You should hope you never need anything I have.
