Which is why I would rather live in a one room tool shed in some rural area that in a mansion in one of these home owner associations. If I wanted to live in place where everything was dictated down to whether I could fly a flag or not, I would just move to Communist China and skip the middle man. It amazes me that some of the same people that scream about the government taking away property rights, will willingly sign over far more to live in one of these communities.
I live in a community where the HOA was poorly put together. The little Hitler that runs it has tried to intimidate me several times in the past and I had to put my foot down on his neck once. Next time I won’t be so nice.
I’ll never live in another community with an HOA.
