This is a new level of obsessive-compulsive battiness. It’s almost as if they’ve hired Pat to prowl the neighborhood looking for “violations.” Most of our letters from them have to do with cars parked on the street, either Bill’s or Anoreth’s, and there’s been an occasional “Mow your front yard, please,” and one about repainting the door and shutters.
I don’t know if I could live in a homeowners association area. I guess if the house was something I REALLY loved.
The local ABC affiliate has the “HOA Hall of Shame” to bring to light stupid stuff the residents have to put up with. The best one was a guy who was just plain mean and cranky, and this week, the station revealed he is in SO much hot water with the HOA and the state.
He actually called a meeting last year at his house, of the homeowners and wouldn’t let them leave until he had laid down a new set of rules. More than peasants were watching this segment. He has since been charged with multiple counts of kidnapping, fraud (to the tune of $10,000) and various other counts of crimes that defy description. He isn’t so doggone cocky, now.
He and his wife may yet end up in prison.
Roundup is good for the sidewalk growth.
