​I call our Homeowners Association "The Hitler Youth."

I was once elected to a Homeowners association board years ago. I didn't really want to be on the board. I think it takes people who want to control people's lives to WANT to be on association boards. I did it because I wanted to vote against everything. I quit after one term because it didn't matter. It was only one vote against many busybodies.

A friend of mine's parents had a winter place in Florida, and there was a retired lawyer on the HOA board with too much time on his hands.
He made life miserable for everybody he could.

People that seek power should never be given it. People that are capable need to be pushed into power and relinquish it as soon as they are able.

Also, society should reevaluate how much power any governmental body should have over its constituents.

Meh.

Today, I spent two hours hanging wreaths at the entrances; I wouldn't exactly call that "controlling people's lives".

Were they the approved color of green with exactly the right number of pine needles, and the approved diameter?

We don't have any of that crap here. It's mostly all about [STRIKE]extorting[/STRIKE] receiving dues to pay for landscaping, snow removal, security, etc.

Sure it is - you made them better.

By hanging wreaths?

By hanging wreaths?

Sure - isn't that better than not having wreaths?

If it costs money, no. If it’s free, I’m neutral on it.

And a Very Merry Bah Humbug to you too.

Well good on ya then. I'm not in a HOA, but from the horror stories I've heard, yours appears to be the exception rather than the rule.
