Then your neighborhood is the exception, not the rule. Our HOA blows, It's one of the reasons we're moving. I'm tired of paying ridiculous fees and getting nothing out of it.
We're looking at homes in Raleigh, and the HOA covenants can be deal killers. We have to be able to put up a fence (2 large dogs), and I refuse to subscribe to cable television, my experiences with Cox have soured me on it. So I have to be able to put up my DirecTV dish. -- Scott Stewart ColdFusion Developer SSTWebworks 7241 Jillspring Ct.

My thing is just our neighborhood that gets together once a year and decides on how we want our neighborhood to look, how we're going to pay for (and who) the shared landscaping, and when and how many parties we want. In order for something to become a rule 95% of the homes (84 total) have to agree. In the 6 or so years I've been in it every new rule has been unanimous. The thing that's failed to pass is getting a live band for our outdoor block party and that was because there was a city noise restriction we couldn't get around. I'm super happy with it and have no idea why anyone *wouldn't* want one. Keeps the house values up and keeps our neighborhood clean, safe, and appealing. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~| Macromedia ColdFusion MX7 Upgrade to MX7 & experience time-saving features, more productivity. http://www.adobe.com/products/coldfusion?sdid=RVJW Archive: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/CF-Community/message.cfm/messageid:233308 Subscription: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/CF-Community/subscribe.cfm Unsubscribe: http://www.houseoffusion.com/cf_lists/unsubscribe.cfm?user=89.70.5
