Why I Would Prefer Not to Have Neighbors - Page 2

sign them up for Nugget. Maybe you can find a gay version...

Griff · 01-05-2006, 07:18 PM

Might be time to move to Upper Grifftopia or Central Slangsylvania... just a thought.

You could ask them for some some fingernail clippings or locks of hair, and state that you are making plans for a real special party.

Wolf, I'm sure I missed it, but do you own your unit? If not, is there some way the management could move you to a different unit? (By the way, I think moving yourself is total bullshit since the neighbors should be the ones moving).

I wish there was something I could do to help - that's gotta suck.

Try to make friends, visit them.
While you're there, look for a place you can drill a tiny hole through the wall that they won't see, like behind a couch.
Pump the place full of carbon monoxide.
Plug hole.

I won't go into Philadelphia for an assortment of reasons, including the wage tax. I also do not wish to move farther away from work.

I have wanted to retaliate against a neighbor who is challenging the rule to have a pickup truck in our community which is prohibited by the HOA. I personally have no problem against his 60 grand Escalade but the rules are the rules and he has sued the HOA ... all our rates just went up 50% to fight the lawsuit.

I have thought long and hard on how to get revenge for taking money out of my pocket just so he can have his truck (which he could put in his garage but refused to do so to make his point). I don't, however, want to go to jail for doing something stupid against him.

How about getting revenge on whoever in the HOA decided to fight the lawsuit?

Yikes. The HOA cannot pick and choose which violations they enforce. The minute they overlook one that was brought to their attention, they become toothless (legally) since any subsequent lawsuit will surely point out that other infractions were permitted.

I don't think its entirely fair to blame the HOA for enforcing its rules. Those rules were part of the reason folks moved in there to begin with. The blame lies squarly with the offending neighbor upon whom much wrath is deserved.

And now, a precedent has been set such that others who might be tempted to skirt the regs know that they will have to fight a battle in court to win.

This can be a good thing if you live next door to a guy who decides to put his car on blocks in the front yard and hang his dirtly laundry from his windowsills they day before you meet with the listing agent to sell your house.

Why not poll your neighbors to see what they think? If most don't care about the Escalade (an SUV not truck) then get the rule changed and settle it quickly.

Griff · 01-13-2006, 05:59 AM

Weren't these associations were developed in part to avoid the democratization of daily life? If they start changing the rules, you'll get people voted off the Island. I'm fine with folks joining them, but I'd have a hard time finding like-minded folks willing to put up with firearms, loud music, on-going construction, goats, dogs, and chickens so, I'm a hillbilly.

xoxoxoBruce · 01-13-2006, 07:58 PM

I thought they were to enforce deed covenants and take care of maintenance.

DAMN

I'm glad I live in the country.

I grew up in the country (definition: being able to walk out your back door and fire off any and all firearms you own without anyone caring or noticing).

Not down here in South Fla however ... I had to go to the range to day in order to play with the new laser sight on my 1911.
