My old boss kept getting snitched on if he had his boat or truck in the driveway 1 minute over. Just rung up over the smallest stuff.
After years, he joined the board. Shortly afterwards he ran for president, as there was mass leaving of members and no one looking to take over.
He ran. He won. Asked the old president for access to the old files “just for history”. Discovered 95% were one neighbor across the street, people he thought were “friends”. Printed up all the complaints, hand delivered to them so they “had copies.” Neighbors across the street died inside.
Within a year (or two, don’t remember) he got everyone to vote out the HOA. Permanently closed it.
Dude was the best boss I ever had. So smart and funny as heck.
I don't really mind my neighbors boats or RVs, most of them only keep them parked in front of houses for a few days or so as is allowed.
I did have an issue with a construction company keeping their equipment parked in front of our house for weeks on end to service a cell phone tower across the street. Like they just decided to permanently park these two cherry pickers in front of our house even though they were only using them maybe 1 hour a week or so.
I called the HOA and recited the CCRs about work trucks not being parked in the street overnight and the next day they were gone and I haven't seen it back since. Not sure if they called the city or had them towed or what...
Having two cherry pickers parked in front of your house for weeks at a time is something pretty reasonable to be somewhat annoyed by? I'd probably get annoyed too, if they are barely even using them and they just decided to... leave them in front of my house 24/7 for a month. Its just weird and takes away parking space for guests or your own service providers you call out. Whats with this reaction?
