No HOA here. As long as the neighbors don’t gripe about our yard then I won’t holler about the neighbor’s little 24/7 yappy dog. It all evens out.
Agreed. The problem with HOAs is “personal preference” of those in charge. If my neighbor dare think about whining about my dog - well, your dog yaps all day when you leave it outside when you are at work. Someone is always doing something someone else finds offensive. You deal with it, no need for an HOA.
Understood.
But I don’t do hour after hour barking dogs. And if they keep me awake, then it gets nasty. I consider that an invasion of my privacy.
I’m considerate of my neighbors and I expect the same from them.
Although I had one Ahole who used to come home from work at 3 am every morning with his windows down and his stereo booming. It was explained to him that my wife and our friend next door had health issues that made it impossible to get back to sleep after he woke them up every night. Still did it. So I got up every morning at 6:30 and ran my leaf blower for 1/2 hour. Drove the bastard nuts.
