When I was a kid, and the power company would turn our electricity off, I quickly learned how to cut the disposable lock off, pull the meter, and remove the plastic insulators off of the prongs to turn the power back on. For a while we even had a meter that would run backwards when inserted upside down, as long as we made sure not to let it run into the negative we'd get away with it. Nowadays the meters are electric, digital and usually the prongs are offset in such a way that it can't be inserted backwards.
Good thing I'm not a poor kid living with a single mom in Phx any more... |

Quote HistoryQuoted: i have no idea why people tolerate fucking HOAs. It's like voluntarily living in a totalitarian state....all you do is change the titles of the people 'in charge'. I don't even think the Nazis had laws about what color you painted your house, or what type of shingles you could use. They wouldn't ban flag poles / german flags either. HOAs do though. Fuck those MFers. I'd rather live in a 'hood that made 1980s Beirut seem calm than live in an HOA. I'd rather live in a Detroit hood with a whore house to the left and a crack house to the right. If every house in America was ruled by an HOA, I'd buy a motorhome. Fuck that shit with a rusty hatchet. Have you ever lived in conditions like that? Based on your post, I'm guessing not. |

That is hilarious, because Sacramento & surrounding ares are some of the worst water wasters in crap O' fornia.

The clickbait thread title was to fool people into thinking that an HOA was going around and locking the spigots on people's free-standing houses that they own.
The reality of it is that this is a condominium association and the owners of the units only own the "air inside" and the rest of the building is common element. The spigots are supplied by the association. |

When condos become rentals they go downhill pretty fast. Renters won't pay attention to rules because it's owners who are fined or otherwise sanctioned for their violations.
Maybe some exceptions like luxury condos. |

Mike Louden is retired and loves tinkering in his drought-resistant garden. But he says his roses are in jeopardy. "I hate to see it die. I spent all these years keeping it going,” he said. Louden and his neighbors woke up on Thursday to find locks on their water spigots. He says the HOA cut them off without warning. "There’s no water in there whatsoever. They turned the water off also,” he said. "If we’re supposed to limit our water use even more then let us know before you lock us out,” said resident Maritza Carouth. But the HOA tells CBS13 the residents’ water wasting is sending the association’s utility bill through the roof. It says it had to borrow money from its reserves to pay a water bill that was $65,000 over budget. Some examples it cites are over-washing cars, filling children’s wading pools and spraying down sidewalks. The association also claims 75 percent of the tenants are renters who are not conservation conscious. "That’s absolutely nothing to do with me,” Louden said. He owns his home and says he’s not a water waster. He feels he and his roses should not fall victim to irresponsible neighbors. "I pay $200 in association dues, and they say not everybody pays,” he said. "I pay.” The HOA says the locked spigots are in the outdoor common areas and that water systems inside the homes are not affected. Interesting. Are residents' yards defined as common areas in this HOA? If so, GD should consider the implications of that. These people bought houses in a place where their yard is not their property. |

Single family, standalone structure. Only the house itself belonged to the homeowner. Everything else - including driveway and the attached back deck - were the property of the HOA. The development was on water and had its own marina with boat slips, storage, etc, which is (I suppose) someone would pay what they did under those conditions. |

The clickbait thread title was to fool people into thinking that an HOA was going around and locking the spigots on people's free-standing houses that they own. The reality of it is that this is a condominium association and the owners of the units only own the "air inside" and the rest of the building is common element. The spigots are supplied by the association. What's your other screen name? How many times are you going to ask me the same question? It's not witty or funny. It's already been proven that I have never had any other username here. So what was your previous username? |

LOL, you are talking in circles. For the last time, the ability to rent a condo increases the value, it does not decrease it. Quote HistoryQuoted:

Well for one, mortgage companies will skew the value of a condo based on the percentage of units that are being rented vs. units occupied by owners. Two, 'pride-in-ownership'.......renters have none. Renters often are the biggest rule breakers, and source of the most issues pertaining to "right to quiet enjoyment" Doesn't matter? No, not unless you want to buy or sell. LOL, you are talking in circles. For the last time, the ability to rent a condo increases the value, it does not decrease it. Is that a promise? Because you post like a troll. I don't suppose you deal much in the LA real estate market? Regardless, while the the ability to rent a unit may make it more desirable to a buyer, the fact remains that condos with an over abundance or units occupied by renters LOWERS the value of the property, and can adversely effect not only a buyers ability to acquire financing, but also a sellers ability to maximize their profit. That's life in the real world. I'm not sure what world you live in, but thanks for playing. |

I cannot blame the HOA for doing this.
They are working in the best interest of the Member/unit owners. The renters dont give a shit. Biut the local water company along with county and state officials can fine the HOA up into the hundreds of thousand and combined into the millions of dollars. Worst case scenerio is they shut off the water as they are doing to other private communities and small towns. Lets face it. The State needs the water for their public buildings lawns since they are exempted from laws..  |
