Ooh, ooh! Bottles of cold water! Somebody call the cops!
I was a reporter, years ago. I covered the suburbs, the developments, the local news that people cared about.
I cannot say that I have ever heard one favorable word about homeowners’ associations.
Why is that? Well, take a look at this story here.

They want to fine this guy for giving people free bottles of cold water. This is in Arizona, so you know people will be roasting from the heat. The man says he won’t pay the fines–so what comes next? Prison? A firing squad?
My parents lived in one of those gated communities. What a pain in the tuchas! The HOA was nothing but bullies and busybodies who loved to interfere in other people’s lives.
Get this. The homeowners voted 190-20 (!) to remove, depose, kick out, reject, and dump their homeowners’ association, adding all new members. But the current HOA dreamed up a laundry list of “reasons” why the vote didn’t count and they can just stay in power forever.
Folks, be unified, be strong! If you stand together, you can beat these jerks.
