re: Ridiculous HOAs

You didn’t read the covenants before you bought in the Subdivision?

They don’t suspend the rules* for a birthday party.

If you know you won’t have enough on-site parking for an event, get with your neighbors and see if some of your folks can park at the neighbors’ places.

Or have the folks park in a common area and shuttle them to your house.

Or move.

*You love the covenants when they keep a neighbor from having junk cars all over their yard. You have to give to get. I get it that you might consider it petty for a couple of hours but some people start abusing that way and work their way up to larger violations.
