Im sure 80% of the HOA could care less whos fishing on the lake.
Two years ago, I was at our HOA pool. There was a family milling around the gate (which is access controlled with a swipe card) waiting to follow someone in.
The HOA office was open so if they needed a replacement card, they could have gotten one that day.
They followed an owner in, starting unpacking their stuff, and their kids jumped in the water without even taking off their shoes or changing into bathing suits.
Everything they were doing was a direct violation of the community’s pool rules.
I introduced myself and asked them what section of the neighborhood they lived in. They couldn’t recall. I asked what school their kids went to, since all the sections pipeline into different elementary schools. They didn’t know (who doesn’t know the name of their kids’ school?). I asked them to show me their pool card. Our pool cards have our logo, pictures, and subdivision name and card number on them. They had to have one to get in. They didn’t have one.
“You can’t be here. This is a private pool.”
At that point they started packing their crap up and left.
My annual assessments go to pay for that pool. If one of their little darlings drowned or got hurt, our community’s insurance would have to defend us because you know they would be on television boo-hooing about it, looking for a payout.
HOA amenities (lakes, pool, fitness centers) are semi-private for members only. Members pay good money to maintain them. It would be no different than them entering my backyard and swimming in my personal pool.
Don’t trespass on private property, you lowlife. Join the YMCA or get a pool pass for a public pool.
The lowlife comment was not directed at you, Ikeon, but at people who think its okay to trespass on another person’s property.
