On: Stop using poison on your lawn

[fetus8]

You don't always have the option to opt out of an HOA, especially when buying a home. If the neighborhood said home is in, and has an HOA, you're usually grandfathered in.

[anm89 → fetus8]

Yeah you do. You don't move there.

Good for you. Not everyone has that luxury

[hshshshshss → colejohnson66]

Not having a HOA is a luxury? This is an absurd statement. HOA are associated with wealthy neighnorhoods...

[colejohnson66 → hshshshshss]

Where did I say an HOA is a luxury? I said not everyone has the luxury of being able to avoid HOAs.

[foobarchu → colejohnson66]

That's...exactly what they just said. You claimed not having an HOA is a luxury, they claimed exactly the opposite (because HOA's are generally in wealthier neighborhoods, the people who can generally afford to be pickier).

> It’s insufferable enough to have my landlord give me crap for vacuuming my car out in my parking space

Why did you not flatly refuse to buy into that particular form of idiocy?

[hprotagonist → loco5niner]

i didn’t. The rules in question were adopted after i moved in, and as a renter not a tenant i don’t get a vote.

unlike owners, though, i can just move out if i want to in a few months.

Yes, things always look different from the inside.
