I dont mind 95% of HOA rules for this exact reason.
We lived next to an older man for a little while. He had 2 cars in his front driveway that never moved, and another in the back yard that sat for the 6 years we lived there. All they did was rust more, and tires were never inflated. It was crappy as heck. Thing was crawling with mice and junk. He was a very nice man. On the weekend he would run his clothesline from the window frame of the car door to the tree in the front yard. His right, but I didnt necessarily like that being around the neighborhood. It absolutely affected a sale of the house across the street, lol. They came by twice during the week. The Man looking at the house asked me if the cars had always been there. Then they came by for an inspection on a Saturday and saw the clothesline. Never saw em again. haha.

I guess my opinion is that my property taxes are high and based on the home value, so why should my neighbor trash the neighborhood and hurt my home value but I still have to pay premium property tax.

Originally posted by Radar View PostI dont mind our HOA at all, the lots in the subdivison I live in are 7 wooded acres each. Pretty much everyone keeps their places nice, most of us have the same mindset. I take pride in my home and keep it nice, its paid for and we had it built in 2000. We own a small 150 acre farm in Stockdale, and keep it nice too. Reckon growing up real poor and getting to own a little something later in life can change a feller's attitude.

Sorry if that offends...

We live out in the country and keep our stuff fairly neat and organized.
The alternative is a not happy wifey. Think of Hot Crazy Matrix on Steroids.
Before we moved into our current house we lived in a neighborhood where everyone had 1 acre lots. We had a neighbor that didn't care what his place looked like. We fixed that eye sore by planting a "fence" of Oleanders, Crepe Myrtles, and other things. Problem fixed - no more eye sore.
