I hate my leaving in a housing addition and a HOA. There is a lot of stuff that i want to do that I cant. I should have thought about that before I bought the house.
Ill state that i don't live in a bad town or neighborhood. We live on the nice side of town that is up and coming with tons of new developments. So when reading this don't think that its just because of location. Its not.
We bought our house on the water. One of the rules for our type of property is we cant have a privacy fence since it will block other peoples view of the water. Well we dont have a fence up and and we have people that dont have any respect for other peoples property or space. Last year we were on our back porch and out of no where a huge family of 8+ people came walking right through our yard. Not on the border but literally 3 feet from our porch. Two of them where pushing strollers and then about 10 minutes later 2 more people came walking through. It happens all the time people running through our yard.
This past 4th of July my wife and I went on a mini Vacation. When we came home there were tons of fireworks trash laying all over our backyard and burn marks in it. You could see where people were lighting them off.
I dont mind the rules as much as i mind the people that i live around. Most of them are nice but you will ALWAYS have the ones that dont care and just do what they want. It is just what happens when you stick a bunch of houses in a small little area with little yards.
Im the kind of person that I want my own space and I respect other peoples space and property and I expect them to do the same. Therefore i will never own another house in a neighborhood or HOA again.
Thats just my
