We weren't caught by surprise but we didn't know just how ridiculously petty
some of the rules would be.

Then you obviously didn't take the time to read the document you signed. I
don't like in a HOA development. We do have restrictions which are very loosely
followed. That's why when one person in 31 families does things to annoy the
all, it's obvious who the ass is.

We learned our lesson and will never again live
in such a community. I think communities like that (with very strict HOA
rules) attract just the kind of people I wouldn't want as neighbors.

And they like things the way they are. You would be silly to live there. The
reason I love, not just like my neighbors (sans one) is because they all mind
their own business. However, when one person does everything to disrupt an
entire community, it is unacceptable, sorry to say.

Like the NAN across the court--ugh. None of the rest of the court (about 4 other
houses) could stand him. He had an on-going dispute with one immediate
neighbor that went back 10 years. Seems he couldn't abide this neighbor's
cracks in his driveway. I saw these unabidable cracks and they were no big
deal. Some people desperately need to get a life.

Nobody is talking about outrageous incidents. We are talking about moderate
expectations when living in a shared community.
