Yes, painting your house pink is the exact same as going 150 in a school zone.
How long have you been on the board, and what brand of ruler do you measure the grass with?

2009, and I don't measure my grass. I do however take care of my home and chose to live in a neighborhood where others will do the same, and if they don't there are consequences. I don't understand why this is such a hard concept to grasp. You want to park your bullshite bass boat or side by side in your front yard, live in a neighborhood with no HOA

You're being intentionally obtuse about this now.

Currently dealing with a tyrant who clearly can't interpret the bylaws regarding the lease of my home.
I was on the board of one and had to try to slow down the lunatics that couldn't interpret the bylaws, and wanted everyone doing what he said. I sold and moved.

HOAs are often necessary bc people are lazy and want weird shite. If you wanted creative freedom with your house, don’t live near people and drive the cost of their home down with your experiment.
Nobody wants a hoarder house on their street and people that let their grass grow to two feet.

And to hopefully scare off people who don't want to live under HOA covenants.
It's the ones who intentionally disregard them that re the problem. Don't want an HOA? Good, the people who do accept them don't want you there anyway.
The only people worse than those who just disregard HOA covenants are those who don't want them, buy something without but them have some sort of superiority complex over people that accept them like we're sending flyers of houses for sale in our neighborhoods.

Spot on, I don't care where the frick anyone lives. HOAs do serve a purpose. Of course there are Karens out there. Our HOA is actually run by a professional management company, we have an app and an online process for applications for modifications, fencing, etc. It's really not that big of a deal and it ensures that my asset is protected.

while it specifically talks about "short term" rentals, it doesn't exclude long term rentals. gray area.
So anything with a 6 month or longer lease term is fine per their own bylaws. If the HOA intended to ban all rentals, then their bylaws should read “all rental terms are considered commercial use and therefore prohibited” instead of only specifically mentioning terms shorter than 6 months

I have no problem with mine. Our neighborhood has two pools and a playground for the kids. They also keep the common areas maintained. Well worth the $400 a year it costs. They aren't tyrants either. Just don't let your property go to shite and all good.

You sound like a gen z, so you're too young to know this, but 2 "literally/literals" cancel out and indicate everything you wrote is figurative..
Literally unfair, I know, but I don't make the rules.

HOA’s can be a royal pain in the arse, but they do serve their purpose of keeping home values up by forcing people to do proper upkeep on their homes.
THIS^^^
It’s definitely a double edge sword. I live in a HOA neighborhood , and they’re crazy.
That being said, it serves its purpose in this neighborhood as its well kept and values remain solid.
If I win the Powerball, however, My Home will become a rehab facility for heroin addicted, pedophiles where they can hang out for free.
It would just be so much fun to sit back from my yacht and read the Facebook comments.

Mine will let me know when I’m break a rule but nowhere in our bylaws does it give them authority to fine people so I ignore them
Posted on 9/21/23 at 12:57 pm to Motownsix
I’ve lived in 2 HOA’s and the first place I literally moved because of them. 4 75+ year olds that were out of touch with reality. A poor HOA can hurt the value because of their inept mgmt style

Is he? I get the appeal of HOAs, they are supposed to protect home values, but there are also HOAs that are super picky about dumb shite and go beyond that purpose. For instance, my buddy was telling me recently that one of his neighbors was told by the HOA that he had to put up a wooden fence to hide his A/C unit from the road. The guy put up a composite fence blocking the view. The HOA made him take it down and put up a real wooden fence. Keep in mind the A/C unit is probably 50 feet from the road next to a house at the end of a cul-de-sac, no one was going to lose a single dollar in home value if that fence was made of a wood composite vs a real wooden fence.
ETA: That would annoy the shite out of me, but at the same time I wish I had an HOA in my neighborhood, because some asshat parks a random relatively new car his in yard. I don't get it, because it can't be older than 5 years old and it's a Tahoe, but it hasn't moved in over 6 months and is sitting on flat tires.

Why would I pay money every month to an organization that mismanages money and have to ask permission to paint my house agreeable grey?
Because even wealthy neighborhoods have some POS and eccentric homeowners.
One neighborhood owner wanted to paint the house various colors and add a mural on the side of the house. Another HOA I lived in the couple divorced, husband was an attorney, wife got the house and could not afford the maintenance. The grass was getting long, crap in the yard, HOA had to step in as the place went to shite.
