shrader Posted yesterday at 08:03 PM Report Posted yesterday at 08:03 PM We had an incident with our HOA earlier in the summer where a neighbor decided to park their camper at the foot of my driveway for 18 days. They wound up having the wife and I call into one of the board meetings to talk over it and why nothing was done. They essentially blamed us for the whole thing. Aren't HOA's great?
mjd1001 Posted yesterday at 08:03 PM Report Posted yesterday at 08:03 PM I was driving south on Rt 93 Between Lockport and Akron this morning (most country roads), pretty much doing the speed limit. I noticed a Truck in my rear view mirror about 1/2 mile back gaining on me quickly...in short order right behind me and tailgating badly (White Ford F150, not sure of the year but pretty new with a guy older than me driving it). After tailgating for a good mile, he finally decided to pass, gunned it, I could hear the engine redlining. After he got in front of me by maybe 20 carlengths, he then proceeded to do the speed limit or one or 2 mph less (I actually caught up with him) for the next few miles until he turned off right before Akron. Guy was going at least 10-15mph over the speed limit to catch me, tailgated, then once he pass me slowed down for the rest of his trip. Not sure what to make of that one.

Loved my old house but it was in an HOA (a progressive one at that) but just couldn't do it. I hate them and honestly most people lol. I loved when I would go into my hot tub naked, it was on the front porch but my lot was wooded, people would walk by walking their dogs and get offended by it (I'm pasty😂) Went to a meeting once and addressed it, I said "well, you have to actually be peeping through the trees to see me, it's not wide open, that's what you get for being nosy" Went over SUPER WELL, 😂😂 not... But that's the last complaint I heard from the neighborhood 1

But that's the last complaint I heard from the neighborhood One of the guys on the board of my HOA is a wannabe lawyer. He’s absolutely horrible at it. I had fun sarcastically pointing out his errors. The best was where he said that my emails to the HOA were never received… and then later showed the transcript of those emails. way to go, matlock. 1

But that's the last complaint I heard from the neighborhood Apologies to anyone who is a police officer if you are offended by this (My father, uncle, and cousin were/are all officers) but there is an HOA issue at my in-laws house in Florida. They have a pretty strict HOA. The board members walk around the neighborhood once per month, write a list of 'violations' and send them out (weeds visible on your front lawn, moss/mold on the roof, not cleaning spiderwebs off of lights on the house, etc.) Once you get a notice, you have a short period of time (until they do the next walk) and if you don't fix the issues, you are fined. Well, there is ONE person in the neighborbood who is a police officer, and apparently that person never has to correct anything. More weeds on the lawn than any other house in the neighborhood, and even broken roof tiles/shingles (they have those ceramic-looking rounded ones.) They give out a newsletter and at the end of the year that they stuff in your mailbox, they somehow note who in the neighborhood has received notices (yes, they do that as a way of shaming neighbors I guess...I have seen a copy of it), and the person who is the police officer, and of course the board members of the HOA never receive any warnings or fines.

I sort of understand that, Tim Hortons always gives cops free coffee, I typically don't get tickets as I work in the local hospital and the cops have come to me and received care. It's sucks, and it's BS, but tis the way the world unfortunately works

Punks and thieves are inclined to avoid the establishment because men in uniforms who drive cars with lights on the roof frequent the place.
