I remember the HOAs goosestepping around the neighborhood, clipboards in hand. When we moved from CA to our Midwest we swore never again!!!!! My home, my yard, my mortgage. [/quote]
One reason why I won't buy a house with an HOA. Iit's MY house to pain pink with purple polka dots if I want to! In fact, there is a house down the road here that was painted like that. The people sold it and painted it back white. :( I kept saying I was going to take a pic of it because it was pretty, but never did. :(
