We pay $1,200 a year. They maintain everyone's front yard which is nice cause it cuts down on yard work but it stinks too cause you can't make any changes at all to the landscaping in front of your house. We also have to have a parking sticker to park in our own driveway!! How dumb is that?! We are rebelling against that one. I would like to see them try to tow my car off my own property.

I don't enjoy being part of one, but when it prevents someone without common sense from doing something stupid, then it seems a little bit better. We're in a good area that hasn't had explosive growth like the rest of the country, so I'm hoping that the foreclosures are minimized. I've heard of some HOA or condo associations having special assessments to keep up with costs because so many people have been foreclosed on. Suck. @JB: Yea, I think it just depends on the association

It's the only time American citizens are required, in their own country, to waive their constitutional rights. Even convicted criminals don't have to do this. Good thing your HOA is doing the right thing about your neighbor's yard now. As more foreclosures pop up, it's harder to keep on top of them.

To me, it's suprising that they are so conerned with your DirectTV, but would wait that long before taking action on that house that was abandoned.
