I remember when my aunt was happy to move into a neighborhood with no 'covenants' (aesthetic rules, but no 'association' to meet about them). - Dr.Vermin Mar 19, 15:39 30
- A lot of neighborhoods have neither. - tl Mar 19, 16:04
- no coves and you end up with rednecks with dog kennel fences around their corner lot and a yard full of rusty cars. -- nm - zeitgeist Mar 19, 15:57 23

        Here's what I'm thinking as a board member, and having dealt with bylaw violation conflicts before, maybe it'll help - Max Mar 19, 16:23
        
        They can't exempt those vehicles. I think. - tl Mar 19, 16:14 6
        
        That is a great site. Stressful to read it though. So many nightmares. -- nm - Bacon Mar 19, 16:20 4

        If I get into a pissing match with the HOA board I will lose. I might be right, might buy some time, but in the end I will lose worse. - Bacon Mar 19, 16:25 1
        
        I suggest that because the law may be on your side. - tl Mar 19, 16:26
      - neighborhoods have rules about parking trucks/rvs (even in backyards) compost piles, house colors -- nm - zeitgeist Mar 19, 16:06
    - If I could live in a community that only allowed 25-49 year olds. Ahhhh, bliss. -- nm - ty97 Mar 19, 16:02 1

  - Good analogy. -- nm - Dr.Vermin Mar 19, 15:44
I swear I wasn't looking but this came up in an Amazon ad... - Mel Profit Mar 19, 15:19 9

    - STPOW -- nm - zeitgeist Mar 19, 16:13

    - spawn's ladder -- nm - zeitgeist Mar 19, 16:08
- Gale! nice. -- nm - Beryllium Mar 19, 15:31

  - no. just 1. her mouth in the first one is hideous -- nm - peglegpete Mar 19, 15:39

- did they have drivers? -- nm - zeitgeist Mar 19, 16:02 1

Chemical weapons may have been deployed in syria, according to CNN. -- nm - Beryllium Mar 19, 15:15 2

- You're welcome. When you're ready, your citizenship papers will be waiting at the border. -- nm - Mop (190 lbs) Mar 19, 15:10
TED's Elon Musk presentation is odd. It's an interview, like at All Things D. I wonder why they deviated from the usual format. -- nm - Mop (190 lbs) Mar 19, 15:07 1
- they have interviews periodically - I remember one with richard branson, in particular. -- nm - b. Mar 19, 15:15
House of Cards finale was great! (spoilers?) - Mop (190 lbs) Mar 19, 14:49 7

  - Netflix bought something the first 3 seasons, I believe. -- nm - spamlet Mar 19, 15:14 2

On hold with Delta. Let's play CTTP with how long before I get to a human. -- nm - spamlet Mar 19, 14:40 13
- Not as long as I thought, only 10 minutes. Of course, now they're jerking me around. - spamlet Mar 19, 14:49 4
  - You pay extra for that? -- nm - Mop (190 lbs) Mar 19, 14:50 3
    - They're trying to get me to pay $300 for it, so yes. -- nm - spamlet Mar 19, 14:50 2
      - I won! -- nm - spamlet Mar 19, 15:00 1
        
        *high five!* -- nm - Mop (190 lbs) Mar 19, 15:08

Well, that's twice in two days that I drop my Samsung Galaxy S3. I damaged the casing pretty bad in one corner yesterday. Today's not so bad. - Mop (190 lbs) Mar 19, 14:33 4
- I had never dropped a mobile phone until the last three weeks. Three times, now. - Spawn Mar 19, 15:08 1
  - That's a definite sign of a neurological disorder. - Dr. House Mar 19, 15:19
- how mad can you get, YOU dropped it! nm -- nm - groiny Mar 19, 14:34 1
  - Not mad. Upset in a "melting into a puddle of tears" kinda way. -- nm - Mop (190 lbs) Mar 19, 14:37

- you've have to amazingly petty or a Phelps to have a problem with a rainbow painted house - Reagen Mar 19, 14:33 22
  - *shrug* I don't think it's at all petty not to want to have to live next to a garishly painted house, or have your own house value driven down by same -- nm - Stephen Mar 19, 14:45 5
    - If it's kept up, what would be the problem? - Reagen Mar 19, 15:50 4
      - "kept up" garish is still garish. -- nm - Max Mar 19, 15:53 3
        
        I just don't feel it's any of my business to tell anyone what colour their house should be. -- nm - Reagen Mar 19, 16:06 2
        
        It's like wearing spandex and a running bra to work. It may not affect your productivity, but it's still 'wrong.' - Max Mar 19, 16:09 1
        
        You're speaking to someone who actively sought out an innercity neighbourhood, so this is never going to get more than a *shrug* from me. -- nm - Reagen Mar 19, 16:11
  - To be fair, I would also be hesitant to move into a neighborhood where there's such an obvious turf battle going on -- nm - con_carne Mar 19, 14:44
  - I have a Sprinter Van with a company logo on it. They have a problem with me parking in my own spot. yeah, fucking pretty petty -- nm - Bacon Mar 19, 14:41 6
    - It's not like I need it to earn a living or anything. -- nm - Bacon Mar 19, 14:42 5
      - Speaking as someone who sits on an HOA board, do you think your fellow residents don't have to earn a living? - Max Mar 19, 14:45 4
        
        The first house in our neighborhood has an AC repair van setting there. I hate it. - Spawn Mar 19, 15:17
        
        It's a passenger vehicle. I ride in it to and from work. It effects property values? OMG that guy has a job!! Jesus Christ! - Bacon Mar 19, 14:51 2
        
        BTW Max. I am about to get fucked over tonight. Probably not a good time to talk about this fucking shit with me -- nm - Bacon Mar 19, 14:55 1
        
        My fault for bringing it up also -- nm - Bacon Mar 19, 14:58
  - well, these are HOAs we're talking about, so yeah. petty. :) -- nm - znufrii Mar 19, 14:40
  - HOA neighborhoods get picky about which single paint color you can use. They'd certainly take issue with this. -- nm - ty97 Mar 19, 14:36 2
    - "You'd have to be..." -- nm - Reagen Mar 19, 15:35
    - Yeah, I'm pretty lax when it comes to let things be...and I'd have an issue with that in a residential area. -- nm - Will Hunting Mar 19, 14:38
  - It could very easily lower the value of your own home. -- nm - spamlet Mar 19, 14:36 3
    - So could having a Westboro Baptist Church in your neighborhood -- nm - Bacon Mar 19, 14:41 1
      - Which is why I wondered about both... -- nm - Stephen Mar 19, 14:43
    - Effing owners. -- nm - ty97 Mar 19, 14:37

    - got it. Go to it. -- nm - Mel Profit Mar 19, 14:33 3
      - I am guessing they spy on ST? I probably should watch what I say here? -- nm - Bacon Mar 19, 14:37 2
        
        They might but I doubt it. Best to be cautious however as you mention. - Mel Profit Mar 19, 14:43 1
