Ferrari Mailing List: Re: Stupid HOA rules

[Charles Perry (charles]

A friend of my dad's had a problem with his HOA back when the big C-band satellite dishes were state of the art (which also pre-dated the FCC's ruling that HOA's couldn't interfere with the small dishes). After much fighting, the HOA made him take his big dish down.

 

So he went out and bought an old junker pickup truck, mounted the dish in the truck bed, and parked the truck in his driveway. The bylaws had no jurisdiction over vehicles. It only took a few days for them to approve his original dish mount after that. Creativity helps.

 

It is amazing how ridiculous these organizations can be. Some states have mechanisms to let you challenge overbearing HOAs. Unfortunately SC is not one of them.

Or you could put a small solar panel on the floor of the garage and claim the door has to be open for solar power access.  Most states have rules prohibiting blocking of solar or wind power access…..

Near Ansheiser Busch in Va. near Williamsburg they built several high end settlements - or whatever they're called - and went so far that they demanded the furniture matched the style of the house - a Spanish rancher had to have Spanish furnishings, etc.   A bit too controlled for me.

 

Then there's a house in downtown Richmond, Va. that is painted in shades of soft purple, pink and orange which probably spurred some HOA's.

Damn, didn't know it could get so bad...

Where my parents live, they only really care that you don't violate zoning rules, facades, additions, etc. essentially all modifications to your home. Aside from parking, there was nothing they would try to control as far as how you lived.

Forest Hills Gardens, a great Queens gem. :)
