re: Ridiculous HOAs

In one of my son’s neighborhoods, there are access lanes behind each group of houses. This is used for service vehicles for utilities access, sanitation vehicles, etc. His lane or alley is up against a wooded area. He is the last house at the end of the service alley. He has his Legend bass boat parked back there. He received a letter from the HOA Gestapo that his boat cannot be visible from any of the neighborhood roads. It’s impossible to do so. He moved it about 8 feet and he received another letter indicating the same. His boat trailer is 2 feet longer than his garage so that’s not an option.

He moves it a couple of feet each time he gets a letter. The HOA merely writes letters and takes no other action. It also takes the HOA 6 months or more to approve simple things like a fence or addition of shrubbery, small trees, etc.
