Colorado Ping ( Let me know if you wish to be added or removed from the list.)
First mistake: Buying property in a covenant-controlled community.
Every HOA eventually becomes a dictatorial fiefdom.
Without exception.......................
Never buy a residence subject to an HOA.
America would be way better if everyone on an HOA board and every HR employee were publicly executed…
Welcome to a great deal of Texas. We lived in a house for 32+ years as an adult in California, and not one damn HOA. It's real difficult to avoid them here in Texas. So much for freedom.
I'd sooner live in a one-room hut in the sticks with no plumbing.
HOAs are a double edged sword.
Yes they can be jackasses that overreach and selectively enforce the C&Rs but at the same time they can keep a neighborhood from turning into a shithole.
The trick is to get the right people on the board.......and that certainly can be a neat trick to be sure.
I also do t like having AirBNB’s in my small cup de sac, but we have one and no problems in over three years.
so no air b&b in that neighborhood?
Sounds like my kinda place.
I hate that my very nice neighbors rent out spare rooms in their home.
They are not very picky and i just don’t like it. But thats just me.
Also: Temp rentals are destroying lots of communities. You should see how my hood has changed after 13 years with people doing temporary rentals.
Especially “airbnb” that FACILITATES AND ENABLES HUMAN TRAFFICKING.
And it’s certainly enabling the drug trafficking industry, too. Nonstop - and I do mean NONSTOP - people babbling, ranting, making threats. Insurance rates going through the roof. Cooking meth and growing “legal weed.” Someone who owns a cabin in CA reports the same thing: Homeowners insurance UP 700%. And it’s like we’re a tourist attraction here - “Oh, who’s that?” *derogatory, slanderous remarks follow, then squawks of laughter* IT NEVER STOPS.
(And lately it’s been: “Isn’t she J3rry S3infeld’s mistress?” - NO FREAKING WONDER MR AND MRS SEINFELD SOLD THEIR COLORADO RANCH A FEW MONTHS AGO AND LEFT THE STATE.)
This was Mr K and his wife’s dream home. They raised their kid here. Mr K’s wife died of cancer in 2006. He almost lost his home and recovered when I moved in. Our lives have been affected in quite a dire way by this “bed and breakfast” BU11SH1T.
F*** EVERY SINGLE ONE OF YOU.
Please sell your property here and leave. Thanks.
I know some folks like living in a HOA community - its not now, and will never be for me.
Lots and lots of land around your house to be buffer from your neighbors eyes (and vice-versa) is my preference.
Not possible for everyone, I know, but I love not being able to see a single neighbor from anywhere on my property.
Or in leftist Colorado.
Not true, I can think of one.
It’s...
Ehrm..sorry.
They’re Nazis.
😜😎👌👍..............................
Yup. If where we bought had any more HOA type rules we would have bought someplace else. Our place has a “landscape maintenance assoc” and really the only way they can mess with an owner is if they don’t pay their dues. They supposedly maintain all the common areas. Eleven years and never been seen on our street. But, no “common areas” on our street.
I live in a HOA community here in SC. There are a lot of temporary rentals. I must be lucky. The HOA rules, dues and modification regulations are reasonable.
Democrats running HOA’s now.
So vote the HOA board out?
You own a unit, you vote on in the board .
