Yeah. Fuck HOA. Glad my neighborhood doesn't have it. 

TL;DR, yeah fuck an HOA.

Spoiler

In the tiny TX town my sister lives there was an influx of Houston/Austin/San Antonio people back in 2017.  They went about trying to change everything to what they were fleeing.  One West University limo-leftist broad ran and somehow got elected to city council.  Her 'big plan' was to install an HOA in the historical district, with her as the president, of course.  She was close to getting her way until one old fart (not me) tore her a new asshole in an open meeting.  He had all the laws and codes for platted land, historical markers, etc, and he read her the riot act.  He was also the one who found out she wanted to be the PAID president of this HOA scam.  He finished her with "You new people are not missionaries, you're refugees."  So no HOA and in the next city elections Karen got nuked from orbit.  The black neighborhood is in the historical district and once they found out a white woman was going to get in their business and make them pay for nothing; well they turned out in force to vote against her.

In other small town news one of those 'new people' was a nancy-nelly boner-smoker homo from San Antonio.  Daisy dukes, rainbow socks with hiking boots and a sleeveless flannel shirt; one of those types of queers.  Anyway, he started pushing gay pride and transvestite story time at the local library.  And since there are no trannies in town he was going to invite  some.  He got shot down like a Jap zero charging a flattop but he switched gears and basically blackmailed the chamber of commerce businesses to put up BLM/gay pride shit in their stores.  Two weeks ago that nasty faggot killed himself.  He was embezzling from the county fair coffers and when investigated the committee found kiddy porn on his tax-payer-funded phone.

I can't understand why someone would want a HOA.  We had some issues when my family bought a new house and moved there when I was a teen. The issue was people were working out of a garage reparing cars. Their personal garage. This was against the law. They also had car parts and at one time stripping down a car to sell for parts.  This is what people think an HOA protects against. They likely do but so does the police and aldermen. It might take a bit more but the job is done and they are stopped and even move. The only thing that sucked was during the couple of months this was going on in order to get taken seriously, everybody had to stop working on their personal cars. Yes, it is legal to work on YOUR car but illegal to work for $$$ on others cars in a residental area out of a residental garage. I was a teen and of course scraping up money for my car and keeping it going meant that often times I and my friends (at their garage) would fix the various things that would go wrong with a 20 year old 500 dollar car. We had to stop but fortunatly many of the parents would aid their childen with the cost of labor at a mechanic shop (but we did have to come up with the parts cost and of course they were refurb instead of from a junk yard)

People are fed a bullshit story that HOA is there for them. The part where they are there for them is FEES.  Going around and taking out a ruler and measuring fucking grass to make sure it is in compliance and checking the fucking plants in your front yard to make sure they are accepted or fining someone for painting their house because they didn't clear it with the HOA before they did so. Due to the fact that workers ... gasp... actually have to bring their trucks and park them on the strreet! OH my god the HORROR!  I read one story where a plumber wasn't allowed to bring his van to the house and had to park it outside of the HOA area and walk (a long way) with the equipment and supplies to the house. Needless to say the plumber said fuck this and didn't take the job. The home owner had a water damage all over and couldn't shower all due to some HOA asshole not being reasonable.  Going on a power trip.

I've lived in a working-class neighborhood in our city since my family moved here in 1972 (yeah, I'm old as fuck. I was alive when Led Zeppelin was touring with Bonham on drums). I'm only second-generation. Many other families have been here for four and even five generations. I think there might even be two families that have been here since before the Declaration of Independence was drafted!

Recently, a developer has been putting up these ugly ass, shipping container inspired Architecture condos all over the neighborhood. The price tag for these gawdawful cereal boxes is outrageous and, of course, have been bought up by the New Money types. Corporate execs, professors, and the like

Was walking my dog the other day and one of the "New People" confronted me. Guy started talking to me like I was his fucking kid. I let him go for a minute, deftly shooting down all of his attempts to intimidate me:

"Is your dog under your control?" I waggle the leash.
"Are you cleaning up his poo?" (Yeah...he said poo...fucking 'tard) I reach into my pocket and shake a bag.
I haven't uttered a word yet so he's starting to get pissed.
"Well, do you care about the appearance of our neighborhood? Don't you care what our neighbors think?"
I literally LOL. "Our neighborhood? Our neighbors? Buddy, you've been here, what, eighteen months? Within five years you're gonna get a promotion or a new post and be gone. What the fuck makes you think anyone on this hilltop gives a fuck what you think?"
He starts gasping like a landed fish. I honestly think that no one has ever said "fuck" to this guy before. Finally, the guy sputters, "That's some attitude you have!"
I laugh again. I point to the house on the corner. "The guy that lives there's grandfather built that house with his hands." I point down the street. "That family has been here since there was a British fort at The Point." I tap my chest. "And I've been here over forty years and will most likely die up here."
He's sputters again. I smirk and finish with, "What makes you think anyone here is going to take your side against me? Now, go take your Tesla out for a spin with the windows down and clear your head."

I hit him with my shoulder as I pass him, and the guy literally yelped. 
That was a good day.
