I cant wait until I purchase my own house, we have people now asking us to move our vehicles sometimes because its "hard" for them to make a turn into their 2 way driveway. When i get my own house ill be like tough shit take a driving lesson or two.
I hate to be too much of a dick... but your house and the way it looks is why HOAs exist. The idea is to set a baseline of rules/standards that keeps property values up overall.
I agree, label me an idiot

, but at the same time if you can find a home in VB that is not in the middle of nowhere or wasn't built in the 60's you're a super man. All good locations are taken.
Seriously though, HOA's are everywhere in VB. Its near dam impossible to stay away from them. I guess you could do what Eng said and run to a new location like a little bitch every time there is a problem in the hood. Its better to at least try to work with what you have before resorting to moving.
I bought in Pine Meadows back in 2004 and there isn't any HOA. The neighborhood was built in in '87-'89 and isn't in the "middle of nowhere". I'm fortunate that most of the people in the area are military and take care of their property.
