re: Anyone else have horror stories involving an HOA harassing them or their tenants?

quote:

---

why shouldn't someone be allowed to paint their house fluorescent pink?

---

1) if someone wishes to do that they can knock themselves out in a non-hoa community
2) the entire reason HOAs exist is to maintain property values, and a bright pink house doesn't necessarily do that.
3) that was one basic example. Amy exterior modification needs approval for that same reason. Would a pink house with a chicken coop and a car on blocks and month old uncut grass be acceptable to you as a neighbor? I would doubt it

And again...if someone wants to live that way thats their right and that's perfectly fine, but they shouldn't be allowed to do so in a community where there are specific covenants against it and owners knowingly moved in anyway
