BT on a similiar note one of my goals is to move into a gated community with strict HOA rules.
I currently live within a homeowners association but it's not gated, but after a few
more years of hard work I would like to move into a strict gated community with a strong HOA.
My current HOA doesn't allow some half-wit to paint their house purple,
park cars on the street, or place pink flamingos in their yards that will drop
home values and I am very happy they don't allow such non-sense.
People should read HOA rules before they move in and if they don't like the rules
that maintain home values in that particular community then don't buy a house
within that homeowners association! Take your trailer trash some place else!
