re: About to get into a fight with HOA over parking policy inside the community

I absolutely despise HOA's. But, I understand the need for them in some cases. The HOA at my condo in Kauai is actually pretty cool overall, but there are a couple nazis on the board. I have to work within the rules of all the HOA's here on Oahu for my job and there are some that I would literally like to blow up. The homeowners hate them as well.
There is middle ground. Some of the stupid fricking rules are not the same as being worried about "someone painting the house lime green". And the idea that these pricks will tow your car for parking in front of your own house with a car in working condition is BS. Or that they can conceivably put a lien on your house when they never paid a cent for your house drives me mad. frick all of them and especially the power hungry pricks that somehow seem to be the majority on the boards.

i think many on here don't understand how liens work and how commonplace they are. if you get a $50 fine from your HOA for being a shitty homeonwner, pay it and you wont' be liened. if you don't like HOAs, don't move into neighborhood with one. if you like HOAs, but don't agree with its enforcement practices, get on the board and do something about it. HOA's are majority rule, like most things in life. everyone has a voice, but majority carries the day. the majority of people in a neighborhood don't want to live next to a home that is painted lime green with cars parked in the yard. that type of mess brings neighborhood home values down with a quickness. if you want a place where you can do that, move.
i hate nazi HOA's as much as the next guy, but i didn't move to a neighborhood where they are that strict. i like that my HOA is protecting the value of my property by enforcing some basic rules that benefit the neighborhood as a whole, and that some person who wants to paint his house lime green to prove a point can't drag my value down with his house.
as i said, you don't have to agree with the idea of an HOA in general. if you are that opposed to one, you can live somewhere without one. however, i would bet that many who hate the idea of an HOA are attracted to the very aspects of a neighborhood that HOAs tend to preserve.
