Bad HOA

I love listening to your show. Unfortunately I’m in an HOA in southwestern PA that is very difficult. Unless you serve on the board (they aren’t shy about preferential treatment) they yell at you for complaining (via email) or shut you down during the 2 meetings a year where you’re invited to attend. You are helping me to compile a list of complaints that have substance from a legal perspective. Thank you!!!

I started listening to this, not because I’m in an HOA nor have I even been in an HOA neighborhood, but because I had hoped there would be more funny stories of residents gone rogue but alas, no. It’s good for what it is and I’m sure I would get more out of it if I were on the board somewhere, but honestly, I can’t even imagine living in an HOA. If all you care about is keeping up the value in your neighborhood and are willing to trade being told what to do as a full grown adult who purchased then 👍. Yes it would be nice to have a recourse about the ugly metal carport The neighbor has put up, but is it worth giving up my rights? There are some that do not allow pick up trucks in your driveway. Of your own home! If indeed, we only live one life, one go round, then I don’t want to do it living like a Stepford Wife (geez what an elderly reference lol) and living in desperate, housewives land.
