I am gonna find out where that is and paint a giant set of orange horns on that thing

I'll buy the paint if you'll do it

Also the reason you are giving them $100's of dollars a year.

If at one time it was approved and now it’s not It’s should be grandfathered in then right ?
Not everybody on hoa boards are like that but some truly are they turn into a giant Karen and then Make it a personal mission to make your life hell. And most of the time ( trust me on this ) talk of legal action is a threat and nothing but . It takes a lot of time money and effort . It basically takes all those resources to just drag you , your lawyer, there lawyer , and the hoa all thru the mud for at least a couple months/years for pretty much nothing . It’s a big waste of resources . So basically it’s a threat there not really willing to back .

they're

On the flip side, HOA officers are often power-hungry nutjobs because sane people don't want the job. My neighborhood has an ongoing dispute right now - legal action has been threatened against us for building an approved lean-to on our shop. The former officers never followed the rules and ran it look a good-old-boys-club, and I tried to ask them to be more fair and unbiased and they labeled me as divisive and inflammatory in front of the whole neighborhood. So now all their buddies have moved on, normal folks have moved in to replace them, and they're the only ones left who have this vendetta against us, and they're making themselves look like a$$es in front of everyone. I'm in the process of trying to contact a lawyer regarding this right now since legal action has been threatened, but I am enjoying that the whole neighborhood has found out for themselves what kind of people these are. Been stressful for my wife and I though - neither of us have ever been in a court room for anything other than jury duty. [/quote]

Oh you’re so wrong. My HOA filed suit on me and filed foreclosure. I contacted the management company and they said there was nothing that could be done and I had to talk to the lawyer. I contacted the the HOA president and informed the management company that I was requesting a meeting which by law I was allowed to have. We had the meeting where I informed them that their foreclosure was illegal under state law and the said they didn’t know what was going on but it was out of their hands and I had to deal with the lawyer. I advised them that I would answer the court and see them in court which their lawyer didn’t show up so it was tossed. The HOA president saw me before the Kurt date and advised me that they were no longer going to do the foreclosure which I advised it was to late and I would see them in court and that was when their lawyer didn’t show. Now I have to have another meeting with them to remove the Liens since the case was dismissed. I’ll never live in another HOA!

Dang natzees

Do you have access to a bulldozer?

The only time I’ve ever seen that is when There have been multiple fines and assessments that have been blatantly ignored and not payed over a period of time and have racked up to a significant amount of money at which point we called the lawyer and he does his thing and puts a lien on the property . But it’s my understanding that it’s a pain in the arse ( for the lawyer and hoa)to actually forclose on the property when the property owner is living there and actively trying to fight everything .

I’ve only seen properties forclosed on that were basically abandoned and there was no one really to argue with . But then again we only have x amount of dollars in the budget every year to deal with these situations

To whoever offered to buy the paint, I'll split it with you - we need to get some longhorns painted on that asap.


The ones threatening are the previous Board members. Current Board and Architectural Committee both say I'm good to go. And one of them is a lawyer and has given me a couple of referrals to real estate trial lawyers to talk with. After discussing with a couple guys at work, I think you're exactly right - the legal talk is nothing more than empty threats.

Hard to imagine grown men acting the way they have, but I guess some people never mature.

That's probably when Hop get a phone call to take care of that thing like he does the beaver dens, BOOM

My guess is the Gypsies have upgraded.
