Personally I think HOA’s are just a big waste of money and time (unless you manage an HOA that is then it is a quite profitable job), These issues are much better handled by City CCRs.
It is very hard to find a home in Temecula that does not have an HOA which I think is a very sad thing on it’s own.
One thing you got to remember about HOA’s
Over time HOA fee’s only go in one direction – UP
And once installed, they take an act of congress to remove.
