Yeah, those things can be fixed by code enforcement.

It's illegal to park any unregistered vehicle on the streets.
A vehicle cannot stay in one spot on a street longer than 48 hours.
A house may not be used as a business unless zoned commercial or a home based business with no customers to the house.

So all the shite you mentioned is something the city can handle.
Without a HOA

Agree, there are a lot worse things he could do.

Nobody said they would be happy, but they wouldn’t be, and they would care if it adversely affected the value of their property.

What an a-hole, he moved into a neighborhood without an HOA just to prove a point that he can now paint his house pink? I would spray paint some giant black cocks on his walls if I lived nearby

OK, you go take the time to convince someone in Harris County that a guy that is "just fixing a buddy's vehicle" in cash deals is operating a commercial business.

Outside of historical districts, what can be considered a house? Assuming all setbacks and drainage req's meet code, you don't think if I had more money than sense I couldn't wreck an area's property value and meet req's? You are naive. Most people won't, just like most won't paint their house pink, but in high value areas for people who's primary is investment, HOA offers what city zoning codes legally cannot

Whatever city. The laws on vehicles are pretty universal.
I live in a city with a strong Code Enforcement though.

and HOAs are built on the same hysteria. Just moved away from a ridiculous HOA and am very happy to not have to deal with it anymore.

I can't think of many people whose house isn't their primary investment. The wealthy maybe?

Document it. If it's like you describe it, it should be easy to document.
I default assume Louisiana as the location for most discussions as this is a LSU sports board.

So we’d rather more government that we have no say in that contract which we control?

The house is going to look really really bad in two to three years when that paint starts chipping

Some of you so against HOA's must not really be familiar with them or take a little notice letter too personally.


Not all situations are perfect. There are absolutely plenty of shitty neighbors.

And we call list out horror stories from HOA neighborhoods and non HOA neighorhoods all day long if we want, but it all comes down to personal preference.

Sounds shittier than an HOA if I can't park my vehicle in one spot on the street for more than 48hrs.

No you didn’t. You’re a liar. Everyone on here says HOA are not overzealous and won’t fine you. Don’t lie

Depends. I know lots of people back in La who have 125k homes and almost 7 figures in IRA. The markets they live in don't exist for the type of homes like my market demands. A 1/2 acre in my zip can't be had for under 250k and honestly closer to 300k with sitework.

That's why I pay an HOA fee. They handle it.

They also handle the neighborhood pool, the landscaping, the green ways, etc.
