I may have some trashy neighbors and hoodlums, but my one absolute deal breaker when we were looking for a house was NO Homeowner's Association.
The same rules could also apply to Historic Districts.
In theory HOAs are a good idea, except when they are controlled by megalomaniacal freaks not smart enough to run for public office. I wouldn't want to take that chance with a quarter of a million dollar investment.
Amen brother. HOAs are a form of communism. The association fees only go in one direction... up. It's like student government, only with power. I don't need anyone telling me how to trim my hedges.
ReplyDeleteFreaks and HOAs go together like roadkill and skid marks.
ReplyDeletehehe, that would be a good bumper sticker.
