I agree. HOAs limit both ways and appear to me to only be valuable to the curtain twitching bores of the world. Watch the new Adams Family movie, its got an interesting commentary on homogeneity. I certainly prefer the company of the weirdos and oddballs that have no place in an HOA.

But where does it stop? If you don't want 'their kind' next to you, can/should you dictate what vehicles they can even own? (Must own at least one EV, to prove their progressive attitudes.) Their jobs? (Must have adequate income and political sensitivity, in order to preserve 'our' way of life.) Too many/few kids for your liking? Too old? Too young? Too black? Too white? Too many/few penises and/or vaginas in the household? Too ambiguous regarding same? We have a neighbor, retired Navy. His HOA prohibits his erecting a flagpole. Nice. Yesterday I watched (Netflix) a recent film adaptation of "The Little Prince". Very well done. The neighborhood absolutely _screamed_ HOA to me, but I know which neighbor I'd rather have! -- Jim _______________________________________ http://www.okiebenz.com To search list archives http://www.okiebenz.com/archive/ To Unsubscribe or change delivery options go to: http://mail.okiebenz.com/mailman/listinfo/mercedes_okiebenz.com _______________________________________ http://www.okiebenz.com To search list archives http://www.okiebenz.com/archive/ To Unsubscribe or change delivery options go to: http://mail.okiebenz.com/mailman/listinfo/mercedes_okiebenz.com
