I am the president of a HOA by default, a pretty shtty job when some residents believe they are perfect snowflakes. Anyhow, that person would have been easily dealt with by having the building inspector tell him to take the unpermited cover down. The cover would be unpermitted, because it would require HOA approval letter first for the permit. Me...2 minute phone call to report him. Him...hours of jumping through the bureaucratic process if he's so determined. An attorney, if he could find one, will just steal all money in this situation. We've trashed all angry letters threatening to sue.
It absolutely is.Sounds like a nice retirement home.
You should see the pickle ball matches.I bet the biweekly bingo games get rowdy.
When I say taken care of yourself I don't mean you literally doing it yourself. I mean like everyone else that doesn't live in a HOA and pays someone to mow their lawn, clean up around their house, pay their own internet etc.
Just Cali.I'm sorry, do we live in America or one of the handful of Communist countries?
It's funny... There's no sense of power and/or enjoyment in making someone followed the rules. It's exhausting. It's like telling a squatter to get off your property. It's work.
Power, for the unacquainted, is going to a Vegas, and a major casino picks you up from the airport, drops you off to a beautiful hostess waiting at the private entrance to your 10,000+ whatever sqft penthouse suite. The hostess can then magically read your mind as to what you want to do for the weekend. And all the while, you're slipping champagne that taste like tiny, little firecrackers of air off a glass that never drops more than 20%. That's power - other people doing work for you that you could have done yourself.
Anyhow, thanks for the entertainment.

IDK but boomerang said they played in the nude and had high speed cameras for the replays.....I would think that would be a bit too physically demanding for that kind of retirement community.
Well, they tried it once but the old guys kept tripping over their sacks and the old ladies kept tripping over their... well you get the picture. The cameraman got so excited he had the camera 180 degrees off and all we got were a few pictures of him and then the bocce court afterwards.IDK but boomerang said they played in the nude and had high speed cameras for the replays.....

A case in point involves a soldier who, in 2008, was informed his fully paid-for $300,000 home in Frisco, Texas, had been foreclosed on and sold for $3,500 by his HOA over unpaid dues of $800 while he was serving in Iraq. In 2010, the case was settled and the soldier regained ownership of the home. Federal laws protecting military personnel may have been his defense; however, a gag order prevents details from being known.
