Home Owners Association? Yes, they are evil. I'm glad my boyfriend and I both agree that we will NEVER live in a neighborhood that has one.
That's what happens when big developers come and buy up all the land and impose their conservative values upon those around them.
Remember the woman who was fined on a daily basis by hers for putting a peace sign on her house in Christmas lights? Yeah... God forbid we condone PEACE!
Oh I agree! I will never buy a home that is with a HOA again - I was twenty when I bought this house, and had previously lived only in a house my parents owned, and then in two different apartments in Cali....I didn't really know what a homeowner's was when I bought this one, and they explained it as "people that make sure the neighborhood remains in good repair". I love my house, and I love my yard, and I love all the freedoms I'm allowed with the inside of my house.....it's a beautiful place to live....my main problems is that they are not allowing xerescaping in the front yard, it has to be "green grass", and I think it's ridiculous considering the amount of water needed to keep a green yard in this region...and it's environmentally irresponsible.
