svelteParticipantI dunno. Most of us professionals build our lives surrounded by smart people. In this environment, we tend to forget just how dumb many people are.
They try, but they just can’t seem to keep a logical train of thought through to a reasonable conclusion.
I watched the video of June several times. She reminds me of relatives that I sometimes see during holidays who have no idea how oblivious they are.
I think she thinks she’s right due to a total inability to connect ideas, to think objectively, or to see the consequences of decisions.

svelteParticipantOh yes it does. I’ve owned property there before and neighbors did all sorts of whacky things to the outsides of their homes.
There are CC&Rs there but they are completely unenforceable. As long as you meet city code, you can get a city permit and do anything you want including paint your house flourescent pink. Already, people have filled their front yard with Greek statues, painted their garage door three different colors and cemented their front yard.
Need proof? Drive by these addresses:
718 Via Cafetal
535 Calle Capistrano
736 Avenida AbejaI’ve lived both with and without HOA and I’ve decided I like with HOA better. Not so much because I like being told what I can do with my house, but because I like there to be at least some oversight on what my neighbors do. Your mileage may vary.
[quote=niy38][quote=svelte][quote=fredo4]Good idea asianautica, except I don’t think most HOAs take kindly to that type of thing. Any tract areas w/out HOAs?[/quote]
If you look close, you can find’em. The only one I know of off the top of my head is Santa Fe Hills in San Marcos, but I’m sure there are others…how new does the house have to be?[/quote]
No HOA fee in Santa Fe Hills, but it doesn’t mean
you can paint any color on your house and add
something whatever you like.[/quote]

October 29, 2008 at 2:07 PM in reply to: Mira Mesa woman chained to her house – to avoid foreclosure #294821svelteParticipantI have yet to read about anyone sympathetic to this woman. She seems not to realize that she is drawing attention to herself, but it is doing more harm than good.
I did do some research and the home has indeed been foreclosed on already. It’s a done deal, June. The best you can hope for at this point is a little cash from the bank to move yourself out. And seeing how cameras have shown your U-Haul is already loaded, you may not even get that.
