These old cacs were always looking for some dumbass reason to raise fees wholetime we got 2m's in excess money that's constantly growing
We? That's Robert and Lisa's money
Our HOA gets on my nerves at times, but my neighborhood is majority black. 
don't have these problems.
don't have these problems.
you joking but actually, 80% of new homes built are in HOA's compared to only 30% of existing homes.I wonder why HOAs are so common place in MASTER-planned communities?
hmm
who is more likely to inherit an old home. white folks.
So this HOA growth is likely affect black people average more than white folks i would suspect. definitely affect younger people more than older ones.
Probably the reason it is expanding unchecked. Its not really a problem until rich white people start getting hurt by it.

Join your HOA or at least show up and participate in meetings so you have a say in what happens in your neighborhood
When I was doing mortgages I had a client in D.C. tryna refinance her townhome and payoff hella debt. Older black lady with an outdated rate at high ass mtg + 40-50k in CC debt. I couldn’t qualify save her damn near $3k-$4k a month, she was DROWNING 
Anyways, she had like $800k in equity but I couldn’t qualify her cuz she was living off SSI and a lil retirement.
What was getting in the way? Her fukkin HOA was $2k/month and she was behind on it as well
It was sad I couldn’t help her.
$2k a month is outrageous for HOA fees per month lord have mercy

That's more than my mortgage, property taxes, insurance, etc combined!When I was doing mortgages I had a client in D.C. tryna refinance her townhome and payoff hella debt.

mess around and lose your whole crib over an HOA fee, brehettesThat's more than my mortgage, property taxes, insurance, etc combined!
100% THIS.
Complain online but sit on your ass when the meetings happen and not voice the same displeasure is corny.
The origins of HOAs stem back to deed restrictions and the like. Folks don't like to talk about that, just like they don't notice how draconian penalties for crimes are in Southern States vs the East, Midwest, and West. That ain't random, it's an act of history...but don't lemme bring up America's living racist past and present...
That said, IMO, HOA abuse has moved well past keeping the coloreds out.
White people hate other white people, and this type of "white on white" petty crime and bullying is rampant and often has little do with us.
Lowkey this is some Alexander DeTocqueville type stuff, Hobbes and Locke - getting at the nature of man, rules, fairness, justice and order.
What happens when you give power to people who "just want to keep their property values high"....
She sounds like a bad neighbor. Why didn’t she go to her court appearance?

u can try to justify it, but I have 3 different parks/playgrounds none further than 3 blocks away, and I don't have to shell out an extra fee for for my family members to use it.
like I said, your property taxes should be covering that stuff.
I would never buy a house with a HOA, especially not in Florida. Too many horror stories. Thing is, u signed up for it
You almost have to have a professional lawn care service stop by every other week if your gonna live in a HOA, either that or someone needs to be the dedicated landscaper. Also, her house was being closely watched when they weren't aware, getting fined for tiny little dings on a garage door. That would drive me crazy, communities like this in Florida are targets for home invasions and people quite often get set up by neighbors (or relatives of the hired landscapers)
But u right. Not my fight

There was a man in the house along with 2 younger ones. I had the same thought when I seen him, why is he not taking care of the yard with his two proteges? What are they doing? She's the homeowner.
