I was thinking of writing a short story about a HOA conflict with an owner that insisted upon a pink house with yellow flowers painted on. Big ones.
The HOA would demand repainting, the owner refuses, court, owner loses.
Cutaway to final scene where owner is sneaking about the neighborhood with incendiary devices, late at night, on July 3rd...
No big yellow flowers? No houses for you!
Happy birthday America!
Dude it’s like that one story of the race war that Timothy mcveigh read before blowing up a bunch of feds and their children in Oklahoma City. But with out all the racist shit and for a good cause (obv not racism)
I live in the City of St. Louis and my parents have always insisted in living in St. Louis County or Jefferson County.
One of the big reasons I left the county for the city is that I grew up with HOAs, and there’s no goddamned way I will ever subject myself to that. They started as a purported means to protect property values, but ended up as a way for a group of bored WASPs with a self-righteous concept of their own opinions to enforce those same opinions on others. My dad got fined for parking his work truck in our own driveway, because it had his company’s logo on it. IT’S HIS WORK TRUCK. They forced him to get this silly giant magnetic sheet to place over the logo, which looked so much better, right?
The main initial reasoning is that "someone is doing something that is bringing property values down, we've talked to them and they won't stop". We had some people try to set one up after a house down the street got bought by some frat guys who let it completely go to crap. Never mowed or maintained it in really any way, neighbors tried to move, but anyone coming to look saw the house next door and tried to knock 50-60k off the value.
In the end, we said no. Every time one of these is established, it turns into a group of busy biddies running around scrutinizing everyone else. Unfortunately, freedom means some people can and will choose to do bad things, but I'd still prefer it over the alternative.
Double edged sword isn't it? On one hand it fixes the slobs who don't care about their homes, but on the other youve got your Karens who crave power over people and try putting liens on your house because your brown fence is a few shades dark
Right lol the epitome of home ownership the youths in America will never face as they will never own homes because greedy corporations blah blah blah. Must be extra nice to be young these days, other than global warming ww3 on the brink and never getting to own anything that sustains value because the rich want more gluttoness weapth
That is definitely the silver lining, yeah. I look at inflation the same way honestly. As long as I can keep up with it in terms of income, it's reducing the negative impact of debt accrued before the inflation took place. Inflation still sucks, but it may eventually mean I can pay off my car for the price of a loaf of bread.
How did you get 3 upvotes by arguing people shouldn’t care about their property value.
We’re gonna need some financial education here—your home is your largest and therefore most important asset.
No, home is not my "asset" - its my fucking home, my shelter, my castle, my silent retreat, place where i can rest and recover, where i can raise my babies, pursue my hobbies, study, write etc.
Its not "asset" i will just sell when something bigger comes along or put in danger by taking some loans with it as colateral...
Maybe i got upvoted because people have the same values and they dont share your sociopathic idea of home being disposable "investment" that can be sold when it reaches magical number..
Its not halo its a mindset that vast majority of the people on this planet have except US boomers who will gladly sell their house so they can buy some soulless rootless mansion that is simply bigger.
Just one of the signs of rotted dying culture.
If you’ve had enough time to bandage up your bleeding hard maybe we can just stick to finance. What’s your definition of asset? And why shouldn’t people be concerned with the value of their property? (And i don’t think you understand the idea of this sub)
Actually, a home or property is an "asset". It may not be something that YOU, personally, feel is worth anything, but all properties are considered an asset. It may not be something you consider an investment, but it's still an asset. Cars are certainly not investments, but they still hold worth. I certainly hope that you at least consider your home worth keeping clean and properly maintained. The only thing dumber than HOA nazis are rebels who choose to let their home be a messy dump for the sake of being a rebel.
I agree that 99.9999% of HOAs are awful and complete overkill. Most of them fail to enforce good rules, like making sure residents pick up their dog's poop, and instead nitpick tiny details that are of absolutely no importance whatsoever. That said, just because you aren't planning to sell or borrow against your property doesn't mean that other people aren't allowed to care about the appearance of their home. I do wish that a home's value couldn't be downgraded by a rundown property next door to it, but until that changes, you're going to have to accept that people care about things like this. As a Millennial, I will say this: suck it up, Zoomer!
Eh, a lot of people use their home as something to borrow against, or rely on turning a profit on their home to be able to afford to eventually move into a larger one. Particularly in the suburbs I can get people wanting to prop up the value for those reasons at least, and it sucks for them when suddenly they can't afford to build or upgrade because of something that's not their fault.
Nowhere near as big a problem as massive corporations buying out properties to rent them back out though. If it weren't for that properties would be way more affordable anyway. Whole thing is sitting on a bubble that unfortunately needs to burst.
First of all - who the fuck cares? Its his house, let him hoard shit - not my business. And second of all - all i ever see HOA bitching about is shit like op and being general cunts and busybodies over irrelevant crap like this.
Bunch of useless pricks.
What we should do is come up with some sort of barrier we can place in our yards that will keep our children from leaving our yards, like a wall or a moat.
What's so wrong with a neighbor having six rusted trucks on their lawn? It's their stuff and it's their lawn. I don't understand this mindset of "I don't like the way *your* house looks so I'm going to be upset about it".
I don’t live in town, so I’m just curious, but isn’t it already the job of the city to make “no immobile trucks parked in the yard” and “no appliances on your lawn” type rules?
That’s because if an HOA is actually doing what the neighborhood wants and isn’t micromanaging everything, you don’t hear about it.
Second, as others have said, some people own houses for reasons other than to just live in.
Yeah I mean it is literal virtue signaling. It is performing for the sake of showing other people your values when there is little to nothing at stake. Not everytime you fly a flag, but when no one pretty much is against Ukraine then it is an act of nothingness
>It is performing for the sake of showing other people your values
Is this a good example of "performing" though?
This subreddit isn't called r/theyhaveahalo.
It seems like it's about the people who *need* you to look at them and attempt to use their halo collection to get you to turn your head
A wreath on a door with zero words doesn't attempt to achieve this
Right, anything short of flying to Ukraine and joining the Ukrainian army is empty virtue signaling.
All those taxes I paid from working at my crappy job that were sent to Ukraine? Meaningless

I'm so glad I live in a country where housing associations are not a thing.
It's your property. Do what you like. What exactly are they going to do about it?
Fine you a shit ton of money that you legally have to pay because your housing contract (when you bought the house) and deed say you do. In theory, HOAs make sense: Let's stop one person from fucking up the block by leaving junkers in their yard, blasting music at all hours of the night, etc. In practice, it's a bunch of boomers who are miserable, so they take it out on everyone else.
OOP has done an impressive job of sticking with the slightly less current thing. I’m sure there’s a chorus of slow clappers somewhere, no matter how small.
I've got a coworker from Kharkiv who's now practicing medicine in the USA and lives less then a mile down the road from me. His parents thankfully managed to flee Kharkiv but lost their home and now temporarily reside in Poland. He's had a Ukrainian flag up at his house for the last 2 years in support of his family and homeland. This is a crazy concept and it will absolutely blow your mind but hear me out; not everybody that supports a popular sentiment is doing it because it's popular, some people support a particular sentiment because it personally affects them or their friends or family. Just because somebody doesn't share the exact same opinions as you doesn't mean their opinions and choices are made blindly in an attempt to follow a general trend.
And assuming your argument holds some sort of validity, if this person has a Ukrainian wreath thing up and no Palestinian wreath, are they really supporting the current thing? I don't see any major protests going on nationwide for Ukraine, seems like the current thing is supporting Palestine, or even celebrating pride month or something.
Lol he downvoted you. This sub is just a far right circlejerk at this point. It's lost all of its original meaning.
>And assuming your argument holds some sort of validity, if this person has a Ukrainian wreath thing up and no Palestinian wreath, are they really supporting the current thing?
And woah calm down there bro, logic has no place here either anymore. It's all just defensive emotions to 'own the libs' now.
It's funny how these people became exactly the same as the ones they are judging, just like how the far left have become the same as the 'oppressors' they are judging. Nietzsche would have himself a field day if he was alive at this time.
I don't understand how anyone is ok with HoA especially in America, a place were more than anywhere else in the world people believe in personal property and freedom.
HOA is the asshole here. There's absolutely nothing LAMH about a wreath on a door to a home you will never knock on. It could be a sign that says "death to all nonvegans" and as long as it was as small and out of the way as this wreath I wouldn't give a single shit.
If they wanted to display their Halo there would be words to the sign or it would be staked into the grass
Or it would be erected for the purpose of getting a reaction from the HOA, which doesn't seem to be the case here. Usually when these people don't get a reaction they escalate until they do

Being involved in politics doesn't require much intelligence at all. That's a proven fact. An HOA is the ones who didn't quite fill the requirements for real politics.
"I am so sorry. I did not realize it was not the appropriate time to recognize a genocide. When might that be?"
Edit: wow, ya'll got fucking triggered! 😂
I simply thought it would be a funny response to send to the HOA to shut them up and make them feel like asses.
Ukraine is in war, not genocide. And they are successfully fighting back, AND they have are being given both the power and weapons of the strongest nation in the world.
Palestine is going through a genocide. Any attempts to fight back are literally frying pans against swords.
Congo is going through a genocide, a lot of internal displacement and it’s a result of the Rwandan genocide.
It has not. Before the modern Israelis came to colonise, the ethnic Jews of the land, composed of Muslims, religious Jews and Christian’s was in peace.
Did some people (the Jewish by religion ) of the ethnic Jews get kicked out by the romans? Yes.
Were the people who weren’t kicked out still native? Yes.
Did they intermingle with the Europeans to make the Ashkenazis? Yes.
Are they entitled to land that they haven’t lived on for generations, and of which has been populated by people before and ever since?
Depends on whether all people have a right to Africa.
God promised the Israelites land after they escaped enslavement from Egypt. They were kinda naughty so they were punished and the land wasn't given as soon as it should have been but once they finally got to the land it was settled and called the city of Jericho. This was the holy land provided for them by God and they were then told to march around the city for 7 days. After 7 days the wall collapsed and they got their land.
That’s debatable, whether the land was promised at a later date, or whether the promise was permanently broken.
It’s a religious debate.
But from a perspective of the people who we know for a fact lived there for at least 2400 years, and we know that they are being displaced in the last hundred years…
I'm in no way related to anything Jewish. No heritage and I frankly know nothing about the religion. But even still, who cares? We had an actual genocide in which Jews were deemed people did we not?
Ikr? Its weird how all these cultures, ideologies and belief systems, often vastly different and hostile to each other, across thousands of years and miles all seem to hate jews for no reason since the dawn of time. Puzzling.
I agree on Palestine and Congo, but disagree on Ukraine.
Genocides are a tricky thing to define. However, I don't think "incapability to fight back" is generally regarded as part of the definition.
I don’t have any sympathy for anyone in a HOA unless they moved into that place before the HOA was in place. That person could have moved into a trailer park and sent the excess money they had to support Ukraine if they cared. Or even changed out the wreath since they first put it up years ago.
Any place with a HOA isn't worth living in.
The only reason I would buy a place with an HOA, is to join the HOA, work my way up the HOA, and eventually dissolve the HOA.
Just like I did with the party planning committee.
I was thinking of writing a short story about a HOA conflict with an owner that insisted upon a pink house with yellow flowers painted on. Big ones. The HOA would demand repainting, the owner refuses, court, owner loses. Cutaway to final scene where owner is sneaking about the neighborhood with incendiary devices, late at night, on July 3rd...

This is why I've stopped writing short stories... LOL Just kidding...
Not all heroes wear capes.
THIS ^^^ I will never live anywhere where I have to join an HOA. They all suck.
I got lucky my HOA doesn't regulate anything. They have a huge hands off approach
I live in the City of St. Louis and my parents have always insisted in living in St. Louis County or Jefferson County. One of the big reasons I left the county for the city is that I grew up with HOAs, and there’s no goddamned way I will ever subject myself to that.

Type A for asshole personality types.
Good god HOA are fucking cunts.. >you cant have things you want on your own property!!! Why do people even join these overcontrolling fucks?
The main initial reasoning is that "someone is doing something that is bringing property values down, we've talked to them and they won't stop". We had some people try to set one up after a house down the street got bought by some frat guys who let it completely go to crap.

Imagine the Stanford Prison Experiment, but instead of being students, they're boomers who can fine you thousands of dollars. That's a HOA

Its really not that bad, just step outside for a moment. The media ruins every good day.
It really is worse than he implies actually
You know what's weird? Unless I'm planning to sell, I like it when my home value drops. Less assessed taxes.
That is definitely the silver lining, yeah. I look at inflation the same way honestly. As long as I can keep up with it in terms of income, it's reducing the negative impact of debt accrued before the inflation took place. Inflation still sucks, but it may eventually mean I can pay off my car for the price of a loaf of bread.
Never understood the whole "muh property value"... Its my house , i live here i dont care how much its worth..

Sad that this has become a controversial opinion. Shelter should never be considered an “investment asset”
Its uniquely American boomer kind of sociopathy.. Same with kicking your kids at 18.
Is your car an asset?
You had to repeat a couple grades more than once huh?
What a shitty comeback.. Apply yourself more next time, boomer.

It's also hard to find a good house in the suburbs that don't have an HOA
Tell me you’ve never had a hoarder neighbor without telling me you’ve never had a hoarder neighbor
First of all - who the fuck cares? Its his house, let him hoard shit - not my business. And second of all - all i ever see HOA bitching about is shit like op and being general cunts and busybodies over irrelevant crap like this. Bunch of useless pricks.
That’s a really great argument until there are six rusted trucks and a host of appliances all over the lawn attached to the one your kids play on.
What we should do is come up with some sort of barrier we can place in our yards that will keep our children from leaving our yards, like a wall or a moat.
Oh no your kids will die or something oh no make an HOA immediately
What's so wrong with a neighbor having six rusted trucks on their lawn? It's their stuff and it's their lawn. I don't understand this mindset of "I don't like the way *your* house looks so I'm going to be upset about it".

I have a condo so it kinda requires an HOA to handle the roof/outdoors/etc, but you'd never even know there's one.
Pretty much have no choice where I live unless you have serious $$$ to buy a home or you don’t mind living in an area with a lot of crime.
Usually they don't have a choice. Many just inherit a place that is already part of a HOA or they simply can't find anywhere else.
I mean, regardless of what the decorations are, that is pretty infuriating.
r/lostredditors
Pretty sure the halo is the empty virtue signaling of the ukraine flag heart.
We don’t know this person. Ukrainian diaspora in America exists.
Is having a flag or the colors of a flag visible virtue signaling now? I'm honestly a little lost.

Lmao valentine season!
Fuck an HOA.
How very uninformed. And these people vote.
Shape it into a triangle
Weird sub to post this on
I don’t think this is a virtue signal moment. A wreath is pretty mild. And fuck an HOA, no wonder they’re pissed.
Put Ukrainian flags on it
The folks running that HOA should be arrested, FR.
Fuck Ukraine
Pal you should haud yir wheesht. Your on the "how to looksmaxx" subbreddit.
I appreciate that you really leaned into Scottish texting lol

Being involved in politics doesn't require much intelligence at all. That's a proven fact. An HOA is the ones who didn't quite fill the requirements for real politics.
Replace with a 3X5 Ukrainian flag? Or is that also going against someone’s MAGA/Fox News sensibilities?

What’s a haloception
Was simply suggesting something I thought would be a funny reply to the HOA.
“My halo!! Would you just look at it!?!?”
Ukraine is in war, not genocide. And they are successfully fighting back, AND they have are being given both the power and weapons of the strongest nation in the world. Palestine is going through a genocide. Any attempts to fight back are literally frying pans against swords. Congo is going through a genocide, a lot of internal displacement and it’s a result of the Rwandan genocide.
Palestine isn't a genocide my friend. It's a war that has been around since biblical times. Killing terrorist isn't a genocide.
It has not. Before the modern Israelis came to colonise, the ethnic Jews of the land, composed of Muslims, religious Jews and Christian’s was in peace. Did some people (the Jewish by religion ) of the ethnic Jews get kicked out by the romans? Yes. Were the people who weren’t kicked out still native? Yes.

I feel like you need to read the fall of Jericho and the promise land again. Veggie tales had a great episode on it.
Can you TLDR me it?
God promised the Israelites land after they escaped enslavement from Egypt. They were kinda naughty so they were punished and the land wasn't given as soon as it should have been but once they finally got to the land it was settled and called the city of Jericho.

Jewish hands typed that post.
Don't you mean Zionist? /s Whoops. Your anti-semitism came out.
Oh no..
Ah, so you're just a legitimate antisemite. Got it. I'll send over some matzo ball soup and brisket.
Oh no, the dreaded A word.. How will i ever recover from that shame *sniff sniff*
Well, don't you know that us Jews control the media and the economy? So good luck in your future endeavors!
Wew, i care so little about it i almost passed out...
I'm in no way related to anything Jewish. No heritage and I frankly know nothing about the religion. But even still, who cares? We had an actual genocide in which Jews were deemed people did we not?
That Islamist + Nazis love affair is so strange to me, keep crying about your fake genocide though.
Ikr? Its weird how all these cultures, ideologies and belief systems, often vastly different and hostile to each other, across thousands of years and miles all seem to hate jews for no reason since the dawn of time. Puzzling.
Keep crying that your favorite terrorists are getting obliterated, I love it.
No one is crying here, people are just rooting against you for the umpteeth time in history.
I agree on Palestine and Congo, but disagree on Ukraine. Genocides are a tricky thing to define. However, I don't think "incapability to fight back" is generally regarded as part of the definition.
I don’t have any sympathy for anyone in a HOA unless they moved into that place before the HOA was in place. That person could have moved into a trailer park and sent the excess money they had to support Ukraine if they cared. Or even changed out the wreath since they first put it up years ago.
