Private property rights

Except on deer leases - in that case you must consult your neighbors to get their permission when installing a deer blind. I mean, it has to be a certain distance away from YOUR fence line after all. Not doing so makes you a butthole who doesn't have any respect for their neighbors nor care to be a good citizen.

---

This is why I don't hunt on a lease, nor do we lease our land.

---

Pretty sure this is a Doss joke, FYI

The point schmellba99 made doesn't have to do with leases specifically or Doss at all.
He is pointing out the fact that everyone is all about private property rights until the next door neighbor puts up a deer stand along the shared fence and the first reaction is to log on to TexAgs to complain.

I have done both sides...trust me...if you are someone who takes care of your stuff...having an HOA is way better than not having one.

its one of those things that you dont appreciate until its gone.

---

Nope. MY way is the best

I just bought enough land for my house that I don't give a crap what my neighbors do. No HOA and no bad neighbors.,

I decided to mind my own business.

What cracking me up now is that, presumably, your neighbor just left your note up for all to see

I have no dog in this fight but I shot my next door neighbor in the nuts in solidarity.

I would take my neighbor having that in his drive way over an HOA. HOA's are evil worthless organizations.

---

Ask me how I know you're a bad neighbor?

Great neighbor. Badass house. Hate HOAs.

Is this the annual, bi-annual, or semi-annual OB HOA slap fight?

I lose track...

HOAs in cities are the bastion of neighborhoods full busybodies where SOME people buy houses they can't afford and don't care about.

Most HOAs rules are already city codes.

As quoted by the great Keegan, most HOAs exist when people pay over market for land to protect inflated value.

---

I've read this about a dozen times and can't seem to make sense of the economic/market point you're trying to make with this comment. Can you elaborate?

---

When you buy what was farmland with a house on it for $250k in 2018, and that same house is available for $260 in 2019, an HOA is used to protect the value of the $250k house, because now it's used, why wouldn't you buy the newer house for $260k? So builders had to use HOAs to protect the value of the homes they were building in suburbia so that they could continue to throw them up or no one would by a house for $260k that would be worth $230 in 3 years bc the build was throwing up crap as fast as he could next door. So HOAs had to used to slow the depreciationZ

Then builders, city's and lawyers saw ways to make money on the deals and they became prolific.

Builders got tax breaks from the cities for stuff they were going to build anyways like roads, parks and lakes but passed the costs directly to the residents.

Cities then bypassed the maintenance on those same items by keeping the deeds in HOAs names and they get to collect property taxes on them.

Lastly the lawyers get to write the covenants, run the management company, and profit from the enforcement letters, lawsuits, and the foreclosures.

And the HOA members pay $150-300 month that's not tax deductible for right to use their parks pools and roads.

Y'all are a bunch of suckers. Buy in a neighborhood with appropriate deed restrictions but no HOA and you get the best of both worlds. You can enforce the standards on your ****ty neighbor's dime without dealing with a bunch of bored old biddies too cheap to sue you at risk for minor bull*****

We have a 1970s restriction against fences taller than 6 feet. Everyone has an 8 foot fence. No HOA letters delivered because no HOA.

Also, drive the alleys before you buy in a place. That'll tell you all you need to know.

I wasnt going to post this part...bc I didnt want it to seem like I was trying to get a laugh. but its a sign I put on there a couple weeks ago. didnt work.

---

I appreciate your passive-aggressive, snide approach to how another man sees fit to utilize his own property.

---

You mean utilizing his own property to turn the 'hood into a dump ?? A trashy, self-centered dick head such as this doesn't deserve any respectful considerations as he grants none. That said I'd call him out in person. People like this suck.

I'll complain about the HOA on occasion and contemplate becoming a board member if it gets bad enough all day and twice on Sundays.

You're basically a jack wad, so I doubt you'd get many votes. In fact, I'm willing to wager that you can't get voted onto your HOA board in the next election. Put up or shut up.

---

Wow there snowflake, did I hit a sore spot or something?

Lots of posts deleted on this thread...

No HOA and uses a push mower. This is when you know you've made it big!

I think the best course of action is to post about it on nextdoor.

That's great until there's a more serious violation of the deed restrictions by someone else, and they use this non-enforcement of the fence height as a defense.
Deed restrictions are great as long as they are enforced. If they're not, they lose their teeth quickly.

As far as the banquettes in the driveway, hopefully you have a bulk trash day soon, and that those banquettes happen to move closer to the curb the night before.

As person that has no HOA, grew up with deed restrictions and WASP neighbors that didnt act like do osh nozzles....If that were my house, and I caught my neighbor moving my property out to heavy trash, via my camera system, I would be super super super happy about how exciting his life was about to get.

I also like the NIMBY's that ***** and moan about this guy and the guy in the twitter feed all day long until their precious car breaks down and they need his help. You think the neighbor with pleated khakis and a lawn company is going to be able to help you? No. He won't.

Why can't people just not be *******s? I think that's the problem here.

Why don't you go over there with a 6 pack and move those f-ers out a bit and have a beer with your neighbors? You aren't really better than he is. You're just pretentious.

I had an enormous, six foot tall brush fire going on the east side of my property last night. I sat nearby with a stogie and a beer and watched it burn till dark. People driving by would slow down and stare, and I just hoisted my beer in salute.

Because no HOA, my property, F you.
