Well, count me in as one of the "imbeciles".

Not only was I president of a homeowner's association for two terms, but under my fascist dictatorship, the homes in the subdivision were and are still selling for $100,000 or more than in comparable neighboring association-less communities.

You know those communities......the ones with weed-filled gravel front yards, dead petunia-filled rubber tires in the middle of the lawn and day-glo lime-green house paint).

I recently sold my house for an astonishingly pretty-penny-profit.

Some imbecile!

I had no intention of directly insulting anyone here. If I did so, I apologize.

I just cannot understand why anyone would willingly agree to limit their personal property rights just so they can live in a neighborhood with an HOA.

I don’t think HOAs should be outlawed, it’s your right to organize and join one. However, signing a contract that says I cannot put up a flagpole in my front yard, or that I must mow my lawn every 6 and a half days, or that if I have a fence, it must be a certain style and color, and I can’t work on my car in the driveway...it’s ridiculous.

Greed is too often its own reward.
