For those of you that don't want to go to the link to find out what this blog is about, it is about an HOA putting locking devices (BOOTS) on your tire when you park there without displaying a pass.

I live in a gated community with a strict HOA. It can be the pits sometimes. But it keeps the low lifes out. I think this pass/boot deal is going way too far. At my HOA, the HOA offficials have to face election once in a while. A few years ago,we had some HOA president that OKed some expensive improvements to the front gate area to the tune of about $10K. I think it was WAY overpriced for what "improvements" were done. The contractor of the project was related to the HOA president. The HOA president got booted (pun intended)at the next election. So usually there IS some recourse down the road.

To anyone that lives in a community with an HOA. You deserve whatever you get. The Gestapo is alive and well in HOA's.

RDJVZ, my god did the world stop rotating or something because I think Im going to have to agree with you on this one. shhhheeeeech, I really didnt think that would ever happen (me agreeing w/you). But there it is, me agreeing. I would never even consider buying a house and live in it that has them HOA's. The Gestapo is correct, I cant stand the buzy bodies that make up the HOA elected team members, 99% of them are "I have no-life, losers" that have nothing going for them so they live vicariously,thru thier neighbors, feeling self important that they have control over them.

Unfortunately, the people I know who opted for a community with an HOA were not aware of the gestapo tactics until after they moved in. On the other hand, if enough residents are fed up, they should be able to vote the scoundels out as they are part of the association and should have a vote. There too the gestapo tactics work as people are afraid to vote them out because of threats of reprisal. Sounds like no-win situation unless you like that kind of treatment (and some do).
