HOAs have actually created a lawn painting industry in some areas.

u/TheBlacktom 4d ago

It is basically the opposite of anything good, sane and environmentally friendly.

Does only the US have so stupid rules?

u/GrouseDog 4d ago

Dumb people vote for it by buying into HOA properties.

u/Open-Preparation-268 4d ago

We were house hunting recently. It was cheaper to buy in an HOA, because the non-HOA properties were more desirable.

We ended up purchasing raw land, and are going to put a small cabin on it.

u/EonMagister 4d ago

If you're near said HOA, better have those property lines available on the drop of a hat just in case they want to encroach.

u/Open-Preparation-268 3d ago

We’re nowhere near an HOA, thankfully.

A lot of the time you don't have much of a choice, HOAs are becoming more common across the US, with data from realtor.com showing that nearly 44% of home listings now include HOA fees. According to the National Association of Home Builders, about 65.7% of newly built single-family homes are part of an HOA community.

u/spartyanon 2d ago

Yeah, near me almost all the newer builds are in HOAs and almost all the older builds are closer to city center and therefore much more expensive. There are some exceptions, but it is really hard to avoid hoas.

u/OrigamiMarie 4d ago

There are municipalities that have fully decided to quit doing a big chunk of municipal government work. Instead, they make all neighborhoods be HOAs, so that the neighborhoods take care of all the typical things that neighborhoods need.

But this means that instead of properly democratically elected officials and career city workers taking care of problems, power-tripping neighbors get to run things, and that means you get a lot of stupid rules. And those stupid rules get enforced by those power-tripping neighbors having nothing better to do than wander around the neighborhood and issue fines.

u/HighlyInconvenient 4d ago

I have one better.

If an HOA has a lawn care requirement they're super anal about, there's almost always one guy on the board who owns a landscaping company and gets a kickback for enforcement.

u/pbnjandmilk 3d ago

I have seen this happen. Our HOA had a guy who worked for Spectrum and did everything in his "power' to block Google fiber from coming in because it would "inconvenience" the home owners as they have to make alterations to our streets.

We got him out on the next election cycle, and guess what proposition passed on the meetings for discussion? That guy was a POS, and everyone was glad he moved away too. We found out afterwards that he was some top exec at Spectrum and the reason he was so hard pressed on monopolizing that shit.

At least I am enjoying my 1Gb internet at a low price.

I feel like my wife and I must be the only people in the world who have a chill HOA that brings us only benifits and no drawbacks.

We live in a 14 lot HOA next to a lake. Half of the houses aren't on the water, but because of the HOA we still have deeded dock space on the shared HOA dock. This is a dock specifically dedicated to the 7 houses not on the water. We also have a small shared HOA park space leading up to that dock with an in ground bonfire pit.

ALSO all the houses in our HOA share the same sewage drain field, so our HOA fee (which is only like $60 a month) covers our entire sewage bill, in addition to the dock space.

We all meet just once a year to go over budgets numbers, etc. Nobody ever bothers me about my lawn or my bushes or any other dumb shit like that.

There are good HOAs out there.

Not all HOA’s are bad, it’s these ones with primary rich old whites, those are the ones to avoid. For instance my parents bought land a built a house in an HOA when I was kid, the only rules for the HOA was minimum sq ft to build and no mobile homes, no multi family dewelings, no Live stock, no foul bigger than a chicken, and you could only have 5 chickens. It was just implemented to encourage single families to buy and create a small neighborhood.

Coincidentally, across the street, no HOA, 2 acres worth of land, a developer crammed in 32 homes very small homes.

I bet your dad works for Nintendo. I have done landscaping for 15 years that bush is dead as fuck already.

u/Curious_Koala8 4d ago

My point is that it breaks my heart when people kill or dispose of plants they believe are dead. NOT that the person in the clip should have tried to revive theirs.

Grandfather was a national gladioli comp winner, but it skipped a generation since dad worked at Nintendo. Dad DID inherit and grow his prize winning bulbs though. He was 6”6 (according to the special casket people) and flowers were taller than he was!

I’m a nursery specialist at Bunnings. Not saying I know everything, OR that I would ever tell an everyday customer to try and revive a plant like that. Just saying it is possible. It is painstaking and doesn’t always work so not worth the time, effort and gamble in many cases.

What if you don't pay $45? HOA's make no sense to me.

u/Far_Composer_5714 4d ago

If you don't pay they put a lien against your house. Then with any luck they get to own your house.

An HOA is a government entity of a form and so it has the backing of the government.

u/KaijuRemix 3d ago

My neighborhood growing up was an HOA till a lawyer moved in, got on the board and shut it down. We moved in after it was disbanded so I am very unsure of any details, its just what all the neighbors would tell us.

I moved out of that place into a house with a friend and ThenGF and the house was in an HOA. Needless to say my wife and I did not live their long. They told me I couldn't have the breed of dog I had. He was a mix, I should have asked them to prove his breed, but nah, we just gtfo.

When moving your gf into your dads house so that we can have out dog is the better option.

u/According-Dot2099 3d ago

Why in the world do people still consider HOAs to add value to properties?

u/AllenKll 1d ago

People don't. Developers do. HOA's are a scam that developers can use to get approval from local governments.

Imagine a developer builds 1,000 houses. The development needs roads, stormwater ponds, streetlights, landscaping, entrance signs, maybe a pool, sidewalks, walls, parks, security gates, drainage systems, etc.

Under a traditional model, the developer might build much of that infrastructure initially, but then dedicate things like the streets and drainage infrastructure to the city or county. From then on, taxpayers maintain them. Local governments say no to the builders, and they are assed out.

The builders come back and say.... We'll set up an HOA to pay for those, then the local government says yes!

HOA's are not for the owners. HOA's do not make anyone's lives better. HOA's are not about protecting home values.

HOA's are a tool that housing developers use to get tax breaks and and permits.

u/Charming-Gur-3620 4d ago

I can’t understand why you would want to buy your own home so you can do whatever you please only to be under stricter guidelines than if you were renting. If you paid for the home, land and all the decor for it inside and out, then you should be able to do what you please! I understand fines for yards that are trash with garbage all over and grass that is torn up or extremely under maintained. But, a $50 fine for putting your trash can out too early or leaving it out too long at the curb. I don’t understand why you can’t pick your fall and Christmas porch decor and when you put it up (I agree that fall should have to wait until September 1st though & Halloween should be appropriate not disgusting / disturbing.) So many have the rule that your Halloween decoration must be down by Nov 1st & that’s just BS. These HOA’S are more of a problem than anything. It’s high school style behavior. I think they shouldn’t be allowed at all.
