It kills me how people move into a nice neighborhood, that is only nice because of the covenants that are enforced by the HOA, and then they complain about the HOA. Move out to the country if you want to be a tacky hick! We don’t want our neighborhoods going down a slippery slope. Take a look at 80% of the neighborhoods in Jackson Pearl or Canton. It all starts with people wanting passes for the little things, like purple shutters or cars parked in the yard. Then suddenly you have a new crop of neighbors!

HOAs should be regulated.

That is common in most HOAs. The boards consist of people who have no other interest except wanting to tell everyone what they want them to do.

It's the rules & regulations that are created by the BoD that can be the big problem.

Just little dictator boards for little dicktaturs

I'm going to cut my grass. I don't need the HOA reminding me every six weeks.

you wait six weeks before you cut your own grass? are you poor? just pay for weekly landscaping service like your neighbors. you deserve to be harassed by your HOA.

This video is not an exaggeration. My HOA sent me a warning letter about my bird feeder. They were concerned about what kind of "unintended wildlife" it could attract.

Anyone who complains about HOAs is almost certainly the type no one wants as a neighbor.

Yeah,some HOA's are good. Meanwhile, we used to live in one that required you to lay down the portable basketball goals every day (which looks tackier than just sitting there like it normally would), and you couldn't park a boat in your yard. Which is fine i totally get that.(we didn't have a boat to be clear so we weren't mad about it or anything). But then, many other people had 3 and 4 cars in their yard(that never moved), and that was ok. That wasn't against the rules. People aren't against HOA's usually. They're against ones that have arbitrary rules and don't seem to follow the ones that do make sense. Ones that fine children for having a summertime lemonade stand or fine families that leave their garbage cans out 1 hour too late. (And yes, that sort of thing does happen.)

Maybe if they would tell people ifd there is a HOA they would not buy a home there.

HOAs are no secret, its there when you purchase the property. If you don't want to be subject to a HOA buy property that doesn't include one.

That said, if you live in the country, what do you do when your neighbor builds four mega chicken houses next door?

I'm wondering, is it the older HOAs that tend to have more issues or the brand new ones? Seems like most of I hear of are on older ones. I'm guessing a brand new neighborhood is easy to maintain but as property changes hands and things age it gets harder to maintain the "look".

IF I purchased/lived in a neighborhood and someone started parking cars on the lawn, I'd probably be irritated.

My Montrachet subdivision has covenants & a HOA. Our homes and yards are well maintained. We receive tremendous support from the City of Ridgeland & Madison County. Realtors often have a waiting list of clients desiring to purchase in Montrachet. Home sales often are secured without listing the property. Kudos to my HOA.

Madison, the city, is the largest HOA in the Southeastern USA.

I have a friend who got a note on his door putting him on notice to immediately remove a pallet his kids had leaned against the back-side of the house in view from the street.

HOA officers are children in grown up bodies, all of whom never had, but always craved a position of authority.

1:07 - You don't have much of a sense of humor, do you?

The “Reservoir Overlay District” is the worst HOA ever. Rules that cover neighborhoods with 3000sf homes and 1200sf homes. No one knows who is “the board”. And Rankin County (taxpayers) has an employee in a county truck that drives around and issues letters and warnings for violations. Best thing I ever did was move out of that “overlay” nightmare….

In Laurelwood we are being harassed by a Karen neighbor that doesn't even live here anymore.
