In response to "Just remember, the Westboro and rainbow houses are why so many have turned to HOAs..." by Stephen

you've have to amazingly petty or a Phelps to have a problem with a rainbow painted house

Posted by Reagen Mar 19 '13, 14:33

if that's the only thing to complain about. HOAs are the ultimate counter to me to the notion that issues are solved better at the local level.

*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
