Back during the boom, I used to go to my oldest daughter's cross country meets and then do the outlandish act of actually watching her run! It was either that or listen to the nearly incessant prattling of so many of the other parents about their "builder"...And then there was the absurd notion of how this or that home improvement was an "Investment". And if I heard one asswipe talk about the importance of his property value, I heard hundreds!
The last thing I wanted any of these people (Except the perhaps MILFier moms!
) to know was that I was in construction!
I've been in the trades for over thirty years. While I framed, trimmed and then ran the construction (As a general superintendent)of hundreds of homes over the years, I held those who went out of their way to buy them in deed restricted communities in the lowest regard.
IMO, the HOA regs come back to bite these people in the ass as much as they do to keep junk cars from piling up in their neighbor's yards.
I think this story tells us as much about the effect of having millions of lawyers in a society where most of the great civil wrongs were long ago righted. Thus cynical new avenues of remunerative growth are exploited at the margins where inconvenience and hurt feelings become conflated to grievous injury for the good of the lawsuit industry.
