This is about living in subdivisions on pocket-size shut lots where you neighbors can intrude on you and tin brand things unsightly. The neighbors are losing market value because many folks will not buy next to this guy and some will not buy in the neighborhood he is in. He is literally costing his neighbors money and there is nothing they can do about information technology.

And there's nothing they should be able to do about information technology. It'due south his property he tin exercise with it what he wants. It is not his duty to make his neighbors money.

Unless he is physically disrupting the lives of his neighbors they should heed at that place own business organisation.

I love it. Screw HOAs. If you lot dont like it dont look. Dont tell me what I can and cant plant in my yard.

The death from a thousand cuts from overzealous little Napoleons is frequently worse than the rando situations like this.

I can rattle off a half dozen petty complaints confronting the HOAs but from my AO.

A preview includes:
"You didnt ask to put a raised bed between your sidewalk and house. Rip information technology out, submit professional elevations and nosotros volition consider your request." (She told them to pound sand considering its simply 2 landscape timbers tall and a trunkload of soil. they relented after a scolding)
"you didnt paint that new mailbox post using Sherwin Williams #2345 biscuit" (homeowner used the equivalent colour from his neighbor accounting for fade to make it friction match perfectly)
"yous didnt purchase the replacement mailbox and have information technology replaced by our vendor. Rip information technology out and contact Bob at..." (it was the exact aforementioned post style and box type/size. "Bob" is the friends with the board and they knew he didnt do the job )

All of these included threats of fines if not washed.

And there's zippo they should be able to do about it. It's his property he can exercise with it what he wants. Information technology is non his duty to make his neighbors money.

Unless he is physically disrupting the lives of his neighbors they should mind in that location own business.

I somehow doubt that you would be then charitable if your real estate agent told you your house volition sell for $30,000 less because you neighbor likes pink…

Please, tell me more about how you think he shouldn't be able to do what he wants with his belongings lol.

I am someone with a truly awful neighbor, that still doesn't modify the fact that information technology'south his property.

The decease from a k cuts from overzealous lilliputian Napoleons is frequently worse than the rando situations like this.

I can rattle off a half dozen piddling complaints against the HOAs but from my AO.

A preview includes:
"Yous didnt ask to put a raised bed between your sidewalk and house. Rip information technology out, submit professional elevations and nosotros will consider your request." (She told them to pound sand because its just 2 landscape timbers tall and a trunkload of soil. they relented after a scolding)
"you didnt pigment that new mailbox post using Sherwin Williams #2345 biscuit" (homeowner used the equivalent color from his neighbor bookkeeping for fade to arrive friction match perfectly)
"you didnt buy the replacement mailbox and have it replaced by our vendor. Rip information technology out and contact Bob at..." (it was the exact same mail service fashion and box type/size)

All of these included threats of fines if not washed.

It takes gumption to control the little tyrants, if they become command, and they usually get command when good folks get lazy and don't desire to become involved leaving a vacuum for them to fill.

I somehow doubtfulness that you would be and so charitable if your real estate amanuensis told you your house will sell for $30,000 less considering you neighbour likes pinkish…

Guess they should accept moved while he was painting. Their loss is on them not him. His belongings value manifestly doesn't phase his choices.

• #11

I somehow dubiety that you would exist then charitable if your existent estate agent told you your firm will sell for $xxx,000 less because you neighbor likes pink…

You'd be wrong. You have been before so you should know how it feels past now

• #12

It takes gumption to control the little tyrants, if they get control, and they usually get control when practiced folks go lazy and don't want to become involved leaving a vacuum for them to fill.

And my neighborhood has two halves. The old department (mine) without a HOA and the new with. The worst I have to deal with is unmowed lawns and people parking in the street. I'll gladly take that over the fiddling issues the other half of the hood complains nearly.

• #13

Please, tell me more about how y'all think he shouldn't exist able to do what he wants with his property lol.

I would non alive in a neighborhood of small lots that did not have an HOA to finish this kind of thing. Since he bought in a neighborhood without an HOA it is completely his correct to do and then.

Me, I like an HOA, which actually is a contract among the owners equally to how they will live. Ane of those typical understanding points is there will be no pink houses.

So you want to blame "good folks" instead of the tyrant's or the HOA that gave them the power to exist a tyrant?

Sounds well-nigh right for the mod times.

• #fifteen

I will not live in an hoa and I am looking for a way to be fifty-fifty less close to other morons. I'd like my nearest neighbor to exist at to the lowest degree a mile away.

• #xvi

When the HOA says you can't fly the flag in your k, just at that place are no bylaws about painting your home.

Screw HOAs. Footling tyrants named Karen and Chad.

• #18

And then you lot desire to blame "practiced folks" instead of the tyrant's or the HOA that gave them the ability to be a tyrant?

Sounds about right for the modern times.

Yes, if you bring together an HOA you lot should exist prepared to participate and not be a freeloader. No one made anyone join the HOA. If i wants the protection of an HOA, 1 must be willing to work for it. If one does not want an HOA they should not buy into one.

It is good many of yous know you lot do non want an HOA, but it is unlikely you lot volition ever get a newer house unless you build 1 out in the country, which is super expensive present…

• #19

When the HOA says you can't fly the flag in your yard, only there are no bylaws about painting your habitation.

Screw HOAs. Piddling tyrants named Karen and Republic of chad.

That's actually pretty cool and goes well with the mode of business firm.

• #20

I volition not alive in an hoa and I am looking for a way to be even less shut to other morons. I'd like my nearest neighbour to be at least a mile away.

That is what I would similar as well. But, if I have to live xx feet from the next house, I want an agreement as to how we volition live.
