It's by the military base and full of a transient population. It's like living in Tennessee or Ohio, with better mountains. It's also Anchorage, which sucks.

HOAs are just a way to protect property values in cookie cutter, and Mc Mansion developments where there are a dozen identical houses for sale at any given time. In highly desirable areas you don't need them, houses for sale are few, and far between which translates to expensive. A neighbor could paint his house purple, let the weeds grow up to the roof, and it would have zero effect on the surrounding properties resale value.

Nah.

The old saying "Anchorage is 30 minutes away from Alaska"

It's true.

This is what he does all over this entire message board. He has become one of the biggest idiots the Tiger Rant has. He comes into every thread, unwilling to see anything else but his opinion. It's kind of refreshing to see it here, to be honest, because it confirms that he is just a miserable SOB in general. Must really suck to be him.

It's kind of weird, I've never lived under an HOA and never had shitty neighbors. Amazing


Same, but fortunately we don't live in the south like most of the people posting in this thread

You think HOAs are only around in cookie cutter neighborhoods?

Yea, that's definitely not true.

I 100% live in a neighborhood right now that you just described. I've also lived in 2 that are nothing like you described, all 3 had HOAs.

I live in one of the most highly desired areas in the country. Good luck finding places with no HOAs here.


Also, 99% of neighborhoods are not going to be expensive and in highly desirable areas, so...

This. If the language is vague enough just go ahead and move the fence.

Or OP could attempt to get an exemption if it's close. If it's 10' to close they probably won't budge but if it's a foot or so they may.

HOAs are the exact reason why I moved to an area where the only thing visible of my property is the end of my driveway and my mailbox. frick their dumb rules and nosy people all in my business telling me how my property is supposed to be managed. frick right off.

Outstanding! Its one of the great things about the country - freedom of choice.

but nice try, I guess?

I wasn't trying anything, just stating an opinion. Weekly, there are stories posted about horrible HOA's - perhaps you should start a website or a thread explaining all the good of structured, orderly homogenous communities.

How long has the fence been up since they complained? How far do they want it moved? What documents do you have or exist that discuss fencing? Fence company ask any of these questions? Did you use a fence company?

No thanks, I choose not to.

There also weekly stories of homeowners doing things like putting up giant middle finger statues in their front yards too, so there's that.
