eyesore factor? - znufrii Dec 8, 09:34 15
- if i buy a house and i want to put *anything* on my lawn, or paint my house *any* colour, i don't want someone telling me i can't. -- nm - Elf Andie Dec 8, 09:39 8
  - You won't want that when the person next to you paints their house Neon Orange, which then drops the appraised value of *your* home $100,000, you will - JaxSean Dec 8, 09:49 1
    - see where i live (well, lived, the new neighbourhood is pretty sterile) people did stuff like this all the time. - Elf Andie Dec 8, 09:50
  - Thing is, if you buy a house in a planned community that has an HOA, you accept that someone *can* tell you that as condition of buying that house. - musubi Dec 8, 09:41 1
    - i get that. i just think they're insane pretty much in general. -- nm - Elf Andie Dec 8, 09:41
  - If someone started a HOA here with rules on what you can and cannot do there would be just complete and utter war. Seriously. -- nm - Loyola Dec 8, 09:40 3
    - here too. (toronto at least, i'm sure in suburban areas they'd welcome it.) -- nm - Elf Andie Dec 8, 09:41 2
      - (maybe i'll do a walk this weekend in my old neighbourhood and take some pics of the crazy stuff people have done. - Elf Andie Dec 8, 09:44 1
        
        If someone wants to live in a pink pyramid next door to me I wouldn't be bothered. - Loyola Dec 8, 09:49
- And he can. Just not on a flag pole erected in his front yard. He can fly it on a flag post on his house. -- nm - JaxSean Dec 8, 09:36 4
  - which is nowhere near the same thing, imho. -- nm - znufrii Dec 8, 09:41 2
    - Right...one is IN THE YARD; the other is ON THE HOUSE. - Will Hunting Dec 8, 09:43 1
      - different in the sense that one has a formal ritual attached to raising/lowering the flag - znufrii Dec 8, 09:47
  - Of course, this is all reminding me of "Cars," and making me smile. :-) -- nm - con_carne Dec 8, 09:38
- On second thought, I would consider such a thing an eyesore as well. Also, this is a HOA we're talking about. Who said anything about rights? -- nm - con_carne Dec 8, 09:36
