temeculaguy, I whole heartedly agree with you. Not every one want or like HOA. I'm currently living in a condo that have very up tight HOA people driving me crazy.
Marion, here's a flip side of your example. It was 8 PM on a Friday night. I was having friends over and we had dinner in the patio since the living area is not big enough and it's just more cooler being outside since it was a cool autumn night. My neighbor came and scolded us and told us to shut it down because they wanted their sleep. We weren't very loud either, just typical laughing/giggle at jokes.
Another instance would be, when I just moved in. We were unpacking and since the condo was small, we left some of the boxes in the patio as we unpack. Well, that was against HOA rules and we got a letter for that. Another would be news paper at the front door. Sometimes we're lazy and didn't take in the news paper for a day or two. We got a knock on the door by HOA person for that too.
Thank goodness I didn't buy here. I'd go insane and would just tell everyone to go screw themselves since it's MY home and I can do what I want for it. If they want to pay for my mortgage, then then can tell me what I can and can't do w/ my home. Like temeculaguy said, you'll never be able to convince me to like HOA and I'm sure I won't be able to convince you to not like HOA.
Your problem is that you're too nice. You should have just thrown out the race card, and said something like "It's because I'm asian, isn't it?" π
At least your friends car didn't get towed because he/she blocked was parked in a shared driveway for 15mins to unload stuff. When were were at our previous attached place, there was no parking left, and my friend parked behind a shared driveway unloading stuff, leaving the flashers on and a note to his car that told anyone to call him on the the attached cell number if the car needed to be moved immediately. He was inside unloading for about 10-15 minutes. His car was towed in the that time, apparently some parking nazi neighbor complained.Β
This reminds me of how attached homes blows…though I've been having trouble with my current neighbor regarding "landscaping" and wish our HOA had more bite.

January 29, 2008 at 7:47 AM #144407anParticipantHahah, FLU, I have that exact same problem once. I went to visit my uncle. On the day we came, there was no parking, so I tried to squeeze as far into his drive way as I could. One of my wheel end up slightly on the sidewalk, while I unload my stuff. W/in 10 minutes, my car was being towed. Luckily my cousin caught them and I gave the guy some cash to stop. But I know exactly what you mean FLU. I’m sure those are the same type of people marion and Alex love to have as neighbor. I say, good for them.

January 29, 2008 at 7:50 AM #144402anParticipantAlex_angel, it’s 8 freakin’ PM on a Friday night. If you like people controlling your life, power to you man. It’s definitely not for me. Oh, and your assumption about me crying like a little girl regarding living next rockers. Well, guess what, I’ll be out there modding and testing my cars right next to them. Either that or I’ll be playing my Rockband at the same time. I was up until 2 AM yesterday doing it. Too bad I couldn’t crank it up. Oh, and you really don’t know me. I can sleep through anything. Haven’t anyone taught you what the word assume stands for?
