Just a reminder that it's not necessary a HOA that is bad, but the people who sit on any decision making within the HOA. Just like the PTA, it seems to attract assholes.

I am once again so glad the subdivision I live in has no HOA.

We have plenty of kids with lemonade stands and people feel free to decorate their homes however they like.

The person yelling at the kids would not have windows in their house for a while if I lived there.

Did you know you can buy seeds for common weeds?

[–] [email protected] 3 points 3 months ago

Haha. I do.

Not having windows? HOA violation. Better call the cops on them.

[–] [email protected] 14 points 3 months ago

I hope one day if I ever end up in an HOA that I end up in one where the HOA members all live in it as well. I would take extra care to heavily salinate everyone's yards. Full scorched Earth for everyone!

Fucking Summit County. Yuppie hive of scum and villainy

I’m guessing the cops came and shot the kids’ dog.

Why do some people just wake up in the morning and go "I hate fun. Time to go be a villain in a Disney Channel show today!"

[–] [email protected] 5 points 3 months ago

We had an almost literal Disney villain as president in 2016 and he might become one again. A lot of people in this country hate fun.
