Back in the day people used to buy houses to have forever, not as some money making machine as the banks turned them into.

My grandmother, the last one I have left has lived in her house, raised my mother, me, and her grandchildren in from my uncle all in the same house.

To this day I look at that house as a home. Can you do the same? Will your children and grandchildren do it?

I can tell you this, when I finally do buy a house, it will be my home. It will not be some dream of wealth to come, but a place my children and grandchildren can call home.

Maybe it's because I could care less if my neighbor paints his house purple.

we have one in our hood, but it's been inactive; now some jerkoff is trying to reinstate it & make himself the prez.; most of the neighbors are
ok, don't have to ask em not to do hillbilly stuff, but this putz is probably still pissed about a past event which he sat on his ass, didn't help
the rest of the neighbors who worked on the situation, and now wants to be tell the rest of us how to live to his values.

a real PITA; about 1/3 of the folks in the hood are retired, but my wife's good friends with most of em. ,,,,,

Nope. Sorry, but when you have 300 to 1000 homes in a subdivision and no HOA, it would not take long for people to do shit things to their homes and suddenly, the place looks like a clusterfuck. People like me buy homes in HOA subdivisions, because they look good, homogeneous and will stay that way for years to come. It does help insure that no matter what happens to property values, everyone around you is in the same boat. And not causing an even further drop in values, because they put up a shitty purple chipboard addition to the back of their home that you can barely see over the 4 foot weeds in the yard.

See. People need this type of regulation

Why? I want my property values to go down. Lower property values = lower taxes. It's my primary residence, and I don't plan on ever selling. Admittedly there isn't nearly the threat of ghetto goblins moving into my neighborhood, because I live in a college town so there is a demand for low rent housing from someone other than the scum of the earth.

It mystifies me why people will readily buy a new car that loses half its value in five years, but panic if their house loses 10% of its value. Especially in Oklahoma where you might have a $20,000 car and a $50,000 house. Also given that you know that if you hold the house long enough, the value will eventually go back up to where it was, whereas the car will go nowhere but down.

And it never ceases to amaze me how many people cry out about liberty, but are willing to give up a great deal of theirs for a little bit of financial security. Cue the Ben Franklin quote. A man's home is his castle, and how good of a castle is it if your neighbors can take it from you because they don't like what color you painted the windows?

Lower taxes = lower quality of neighbors.

Perhaps not a concern in Oklahoma, but here in the Metro Detroit area, cheap most definitely doesn't mean 'good'.

Thats right Tomislav!

Taxes are the modern barrier of keeping the riffraff out

Just like Gentrification.

Honestly, I'd like to go take over our western reserve and place them back under colonial rule so they can be free of HOA's and CC&R's, instead living under the far more enforcable residential zoning codes of Connecticut

It's for the children. I've been to Ohio. There is nothing there for the children.

Uuumm....YES!!!

Mother of States
Virginia has been called the "Mother of States" because she was the first of the states to be settled and because of the number of states that were "born" of the Virginia territory. West Virginia, Ohio, Kentucky, Illinois, Indiana, Michigan, Wisconsin and, even a part of Minnesota were all a part of the original Virginia territory.

Lets face it Dan, you don't come around here for the hunting!

Yep, a well maintained and built playhouse in the backyard of a development is horrible. It doesn't signify the area as a nice friendly place to raise your kids at all. But a lawsuit over a kids playhouse, now THAT will make the values go up considering what families want.

ETA: Are you the new expcustom?

I think it shows the strength and determination of the HOA board. I don't want some lazy interlopers writing off bullshit expenses because they sit on the HOA board, I'd want them to actually do something that is visible and productive.

Seriously Dan, I normally have tonnes of time for you and enjoy your posts,

but this is way way over the top and goes far beyond the remit of common sense an property values. HOA needs a reality check.

Try selling your home in a HOA that dictates in this manner against a 4 year old's dolls house and you could to lose out because the HOA's reputation will precede it.

Quoted:

I'm just trying to make the point that HOAs are useless, undesireable, and not viable in a market that has robust and enforceable residential zoning laws.

In my state, we only have HOA's in a very few instances....those being 55+ retirement communities and coastal gated private beach communities.

States that espouse "freedom" in just about any action and institution over states like mine are the ones that tend to have substantial numbers of HOA's in them. These states also have the most lax residential zoning laws, no zoning laws, and no enforcement. Texas, Arizona, North Carolina, South Carolina, Colorado, etc, etc, are absolutely FULL of these stupid HOA's. Zoning and enforcement? What is that? Most of this has to do with the fact that these states have a lot of what is called unincorporated land where houses go up. That means they are not really part of the "town". Where in CT, there is not unincorporated land. Every inch of land in CT is part of a town, and is owned privately or by the state. Meaning that no developments go up in an area free of existing zoning regs. Home prices, demand, taxes, etc, etc all remain high and desireable in most areas of the state.

In my mind, it's either s dopey bureaucrat or a nosy busybody that is elected by sham neighborhood elections on the sam scale of a high school class president election. I'll take the dopey slow bureaucrat any day.

Hope this clarifies my point.

No. I'm saying that the AWB is ineffectual. Gun control historically is based on economic discrimination. I never said it was right. I'm saying it is full of holes. I'm not proud of the AWB here. I've spoken with state legislators at length of eliminating it but it is a low priority for them. I do however take pride in CT's outstanding carry laws though.

I'm sure some of you have seen this one going around on facebook... supposedly a veteran painted his house like this because the HOA told him he couldn't fly an American flag. (I've read that it is against the law to deny someone that) I looked around a bit, and I think the story was actually that a Historical Society wouldn't let the guy do certain repairs to his house but they couldn't object to paint, so he went all out.

For comparison sake, we sold out old house that was 1400 square feel for 160K and bought the current house that has 2900 square feet. NOW, I could probably sell this place for about 20-30K more than the old house sold for.

In all, the old house was too small, was in need of lots of repairs, like eventual siding replacement, etc. and the neighborhood was getting crummy. (no HOA rules to speak of).

While it sucks to have lost 90k on my home, the old neighborhood looks like SHIT. Unmowed lawns, junk cars in driveways, ugly a fuck paint jobs, etc. That 160K house is now worth about 100K. (or less) And good luck on trying to sell to anyone who wants to live in a nice looking neighborhood.

If I put an outbuilding on my current lot, it would need to be painted to match my house. Oh the horror, my liberty has been stripped away...

If it was for my daughter, I could still paint the inside any color I pleased and that would be that.

Your new neighborhood is nice because it has 2900 sqft houses on it. Our neighborhood has no HOA houses are 2200+ sqft 200k+ in SC so people take care of their own because they want to. HOAs are nothing but a pile of crap perpetuated by the same nonsense argument.

Yeah, you've said that before. You still haven't explained how suing a family over a pink playhouse keeps out the riffraff. Please enlighten us.

But it also seems that HOAs give power to angry people with lives that have gone nowhere, and who end up on power trips for the first time in their lives, the ability to make arbitrary rules just to flex that power. Some guy is stuck working in a cubicle all his adult life decides to take his frustration out on the guy down the street by fining him for parking in the driveway, not the garage.

Somehow, these HOA's only seem to turn up in so-called "Free States". The only ones we have in CT are 55+ communities.

We coastal folk don't seem to have these issues. However, we do have a very robust and complete zoning code

Sounds like Big City Thinking to me!

It is simply an alternative to a neighborhood kleptocracy.

Is your boat stored in the driveway?

No zoning or HOA here.

Yep. I can legally make fully-automatic machine guns in my garage. I'll take that over a stinking HOA any day.

Forced to sign? Did someone hold a gun to their heads?

What part of 'legally' do you not understand Eienstein? Bubbles and Hard Rock are a Class 07 SOT.

How were your parents forced to sign a shit ass contract. If there were truely force I don't believe the contact can be legally enforced.

Is your garage zone for light industrial use?

An SOT in CT can make MGs too.

What part of "NO ZONING" is so hard to understand?

If we weren't legal then ATF wouldn't have issued the license.

I'll take the freedom to do what I want with my property over the power to tell my neighbor what he can do with his any day.

You know, you didn't state that you lived in an area w/o zoning or the fact that you are an SOT....

I guess west virginians expect other people to read minds....
