Where is the no HOA OT baws at now?

Enjoy your new pink pussy palace.




I looked at really nice lot in Frisco in 2009 before the big boom and I drive up and the house next door has pigs in the front yard.

Needless to say, I now live in an HOA.

I wouldn't even tour a house that had a pepto colored house next door. If I'm buying a home, it certainly won't be next to that shite.

That's a law only really applied to cars that don't get moved.
Once you see the chalk on a tire you just have to move it in the next two days.

Without getting into politics. Do you think the side that pretends to be about personal freedoms is the one who wants the most oversight or the one that pretends to care about personal feelings?

Forcefully signed. Is not signing an option? You wouldn't be able to by the house if you didn't sign, so let's not call this agreement out like it's something voluntary. I'm just glad I live in the country and in a nice area where I don't have to worry about HOAs or idiots painting their house pink.

He gets a pass with the pink house.

But having uncomfortable looking chairs lined up out front like that would make me question this dude’s psychology.

Some posters here are insanely against HOA's and will spend all day arguing against them. It's weird.

I have lived in two different houses with HOA's and never heard a word from them or anyone on involved with them. Once I received a flier on my door reminding the neighborhood of the speed limit. I don't understand how so many people have issues with them, I find it pretty easy to not be an a-hole and take care of my shite

Without taking sides in this argument, I’m wondering if you’re legally retarded.

Really went the extra mile painting the roof too. If nothing else I admire his commitment to being an a-hole

Guy wants to live in a pink house, whatever.

I'm more concerned about people with 14 junked out cars on their lawn, than a pink house.

Nobody is forcing you to buy the house.

Good for him. If he wants a pink house, then let him enjoy his pink house.


Yeah, frick common decency and respect for neighbors and their financial investments. He wants to have a pink house that looks like shite, it's his property to do what he wants. If He wants to have a junkyard on the front lawn, well this is mothertrucking America, go ahead. If he wants to ruin his neighborhood resell value, well that's his rights.

What he did is a very selfish look at me thing. As much as people hate millennials and there selfishness on this board, I'm surprised this guy gets a pass because of his property rights.

Hoa exist for essentially one reason, and that's to keep the couple trashey frickers in an area from ruining the hard earned investments of their neighbors.

Those typically violate zoning and blight laws already in place.

In the overwhelming majority of instances, blight and nuisance laws do this just fine.

That's a complete crock. Your neighbors house being painted pink will not lower your property value. Do you have tangible evidence that a controversial change in paint schemes to a neighboring house lowers the value of the of the other homes within a neighborhood, or are you just deriving that because you feel like it would and you dont like looking at it.

Which this particular neighborhood does not have, and as stated in the OP was one of the main contributing factors for this individual buying into it.

Paint it pink might not. What about having livestock in the front yard? Or old junk cars. Trashy people with money are still trashy.

That would be a great polling question. How would having a fully painted pink house next door effect your thoughts on buying a house?

I think I already know the answer though.

A nearby pink house isn't going to knock 100,000 dollars off the value of your home.

I don't know a dollar amount, but it sure as shite is going to detract a ton of potential buyers, and you'll 100% lose a lot of money when you have to reduce your asking price over and over.


Maybe you find the 1 person who doesn't mind a pink house next door and will pay you full price. More likely, that you'll have to reduce your price to wayyyyyyyyy below market value to get a potential buyer to even think of buying a house next door to the pink house.
