HOA orders Florida man to remove Trump flag from dock

HOA,...LoL.

Sweet, the big bird is given.

My response to the HOA would be "FUCK YOU. Make me"...

Why the fuck would somebody, especially a traditional, freedom loving Patriot, want to be part of an HOA anyway? There is nothing else that screams out "I am a metrosexual urban transplant bleeding heart libfag!" than association with that bunch of communists in disguise. And on top of all that, you are PAYING money to have rules forced up your ass by being in a HOA. Fuck them, and whoever came up with that shit in the first place...

ETA: I see he has told the pinkos to fuck off... Awesome. Now, time to cut off all association with these parasites.

So....
Here's the thing.
It amazes me how many people think HOA is a good thing....ever.
It's a carpet bagging yankee idea, on telling your neighbors how they can live, because YOU are more important than their property rights and freedom.

I say, take the flags down. You wanted to live in a little Nazi village, now follow the fucking rules cupcake!
"Here is this piece of land. I will sell it to you, but you must follow the rules and restrictions I have laid forth for you to follow."

No wonder this country is so far in the shitter.

I'd tell them if they want a say I'll prorate their portion of the taxes and mortgage.
Otherwise, fuck off.

I lived in one, from 1988, until 1991, in the state of Calif.. Was in the garage one day, middle of summer, changing the oil in my p/u and had an HOA board member walk by and tell me, I... "couldn't do that, unless the door was closed". WTF? Like I'm going to keep my door closed, when it's F'n 90+ inside and out. I told him, they should have installed A/C units in the garages, so F off! I moved.
That's awesome, what that guy did. Maybe there is hope for this Country. MAGA!! Mac

If you think a HOA is a good thing you are what I would call a highly educated moron.

Whats wrong with following rules that you agreed to PRIOR to purchasing your home? I'd never live in a neighborhood without one again.

Having convenants is one thing.
Having a HOA is another.
Your government should be a gigantic example of how the rules are applied and interpreted by the likes
of a HOA.

And THAT, is all that is wrong with the world......

You've got to be kidding me/us, right? This is simply a method of starting a controversy on a Sunday morning, because you're bored with being shut-in, right?

Except that they add or change them at will.

The FIRST thing I considered when buying our property is "is their an HOA"? If so, automatically scratched off the list.

I refuse to ask anyone what I can or cannot do with the property I own and pay taxes on. Fuck HOA's.

Because controlling little douchbags like to get together and change them at their discretion.

HOAs are the worst things in the world. I lived in one for a year. Never again. Being lazy one week and didn't mow the lawn and had a threatening notice put on my door. The original rules had at least 35 new ones put into place in that year alone.

NEVER AGAIN.

I gotta be honest here, he is correct, and he is illustrating my point about the kind of people who like HOA.
Probably the only time you'll see me agreeing with his ilk.

Seems like any new neighborhood built since the late 80s has a HOA. Fuck that I will never live anywhere there is an HOA my sister used to live in a neighborhood with one she was constantly getting notices for all kinds of bull shit grass cutting, parked cars on her lawn, boat in the front yard, dog barks to fucking loud, house needs power washing, can't have team flags on front porch you fucking name it........fuck that!

Sadly, even my city, which has a lot of rural land near, has been invaded by developers. It's almost impossible to just buy "land" unless you want a one hour commute. It doesn't help that our mayor was (is?) a former real estate big shot who helps his buddies out (from what I can tell). So, when you give approval to build 10-400 acres to your buddies without anybody really knowing what's going on (city council meetings that pop up to discuss the area you live in that are practically unannounced) - a city ends up with a ton of neighborhoods with HOA's. And even if you find a "lot" for sale, it's likely in a "development."

The day of the organic neighborhood is gone .

Worse than the HOA's are that they are putting these houses in these subdivisions so close and with no front yard it's a bit clausterphobic. Yet, this is what the millennials like - they can have that. I'm looking for enough land so that I am the HOA!! Furthermore the city does not demand infrastructure be built with these new 200+ homes subdivisions - no new roads, no widening, no hospitals...just mind-boggling the sellout by "city leadership."

My wife and I are building in a rare non-HOA neighborhood... 1 acre lots. 2 builders that only build high end homes. No individual lot sales. But beyond that, no HOA. And as far as I understand the rules in Texas is that IF the neighborhood decides at a later date to organize an HOA, every person in the neighborhood has to agree. I will never agree.

Git R Dun....

Nice boat.

LOL so this guy has a glorious response to his snowflake neighbor and instead of discussing that we’re arguing about HOA’s.

If you don’t like HOA’s then don’t buy a house in one, simple as that.

If you had laid out some ground rules at the beginning of this thread...to protect the integrity of the thread, it helps you and it helps me, it's just good for everyone.
Then we could have focused on a guy with far more money than brains, who had his boat wrapped in a fucking trump sign.
Hoorah!!

I'm glad folks can cheer stupidity while our country hits high gear in the fucking shitter vortex.

Carry on.

And you never Trumpers that think I just gave you a high five? This is for you:

Just about every city and/or county now requires developers to establish Covenants, and HOA's when putting in a new development/neighborhood. The reason they do that, it removes a lot of responsibility that the govt entity would normally be required to handle, i.e. less manpower, less costs, etc. Now the HOA is responsible for collecting HOA fees, and using those fee's for maintaining neighborhood parks, greenbelts, roads, sidewalks, swimming pools, etc. Things the City or County traditionally did in the past.

I have heard of some developments, once the HOA is established after the developer is finished, have all voted to disband the HOA, and make all covenants invalid. Usually the development rules, bylaws, covenants, etc. are officially recorded at the city/county clerk's office, and becomes a legal document. So if the HOA votes, and does away with all rules, it's legally binding. You could leave one rule in place that says if the HOA is ever reestablished, it will take all 100% of the home/property owners to agree or approve all new rules or covenants.

I live in a private subdivision with HOA and rules. The only reason we have the HOA is to ensure the roads are maintained, and for snow removal. Otherwise, no issues. We pretty much get along with each other, and many of us shoot in our backyards, etc.

If your county ever talks about building a sewer system, fight it. No sewer system, no subdivisions.

This is in my town. I'd say 90% of the people in that neighborhood are VERY wealthy people from the NE. We also just had a trump boat parade this weekend that I doubt the news would show you, but had a massive turnout. That boat seemee to be in the center of almost every photo.

I have serious problems with "authority" in general. Having a bunch of folks holding me to an HOA? I'd never move into a community that required it. Luckily I own my home now and manage to keep up with improvements and cut the grass etc.

I did tell one of my neighbors to get off my porch or I'd throw him off after he stopped the guys siding my house telling them it was the wrong color. He and I have gone round several times in 35 years....if he was in authority to force me via HOA I'd be in jail.

VooDoo

The only place I ever lived with an HOA was in a subdivision with no sewer system. All on septic tanks, and I got the pleasure of having to pay 5K to re-run all the field lines before we moved because they quit perc-ing.

~80's subdivision? High density subdivisions like those surrounding Atl require mass grading rather than just cutting roads in. Our clay soil in the northern half of GA won't perk after being graded. We're over 90% Ag with min frontage and acreage, but the county grants variances pretty freely. Lack of sewer is keeping the developers away for now.

90s. I don't know when it was started, but that house was built in '96 and was in Phase 3 of 3, I believe. It was, and still is, a semi-rural area, within city limits, but it's a very small town. There were cattle in pastures less than a mile away.

And yes, it was on red clay - that whole county is nothing but.
