    A friend’s grandmother lives in an HOA. She never has issues.

    Of course a little old lady doesn’t have any issues - HOAs exist to make their lives easier. Why do you think they end up with rules like ‘dogs can’t bark after 10 PM’? Do you really think it’s a young person making that rule?

      Yeah, if that were the only thing I wrote, my contribution to this discussion would be complete garbage.

        We should probably have the dues, complaints, charters, and whatnot be public to avoid some of the mystery.

        You have this, it’s called literally anyone and everyone online hating HOAs.

        I can keep breaking down what you wrote, if you’d like.

          So your technique for breaking down ideas is to invoke an appeal to majority, and then be condescending about it?

          Holy shit, I’m outmatched. It might take years for me to recover from the epic own I’ve just received.

          I concede. There are countless other discussions that need your brave insights. It would be selfish to take up even one second more of your time. Godspeed.

            My guy, it’s the literal next best thing to what you want - you can also go ahead and examine a generic HOA guideline.

            For example, how you decorate your house, how long the grass on your lawn is, dogs barking too late. Want a different mailbox or to paint your house a different color? Run it by your HOA rep.

            There are endless examples of insane rules that HOAs put on the people who live under them - yet here you are citing an anecdote and expecting me to do your homework for you. Fucks sake.
