Yea, we've been living under this thinking for 3 1/2 years now.
Vote better America...
Any correlation with the rise of selfishness simultaneously with the rise in the need of covenants and HOA’s?
Nope, life is fluid, locking people into things is a recipe for disaster.
Maybe people that “fluid should not buy houses at all…
Not everything is predictable.
The excuse is I might change my mind, nobody can have rules because I might change my mind…
Maybe I missed something, but I took it as life is unpredictable. A sudden health crisis or somesuch can radically change one's situation in a heartbeat.
Okay, I worked my way back to this post. I guess some believe a written agreement is necessary. Common courtesy prevailed in the pre-HOA days I guess. Maybe it correlates to your other post about selfishness increasing at about the same time as the popularity of HOAs.
I prefer the common courtesy route, but I know that's not always possible. At that point, I would get .gov involved, although it would be as a last resort.
That can happen to everyone at some point, What in heavens name does that have to do with an HOA?
I suppose it means that one might no longer be able to fulfill their "duties" to the HOA. Not able to maintain the yard, etc..
I can't believe someone with a quarter acre lot wouldn't have a gardener on staff!
I get the whole talk to your neighbor and work it out but that is not life today. Talk to your neighbor about an issue you might get shot for “disrespect”.
I have never been a part of a cutthroat HOA. I suppose they exist. It is not easy to get foreclosure judgements, think a court would take a house for no reason?
It is even on the news regularly. One going after another because they disrespected them…

Sharpshooter
When I met my wife she owned a townhouse condominium, the kind set up like row houses.
The owner’s contract was thick, but in many places it was incredibly vague.
When we got married I sold my little house and moved in with her. Because she already had the house set up and decorated to her taste I set my hobby stuff up in the garage, and that is where I spent most of my leisure time.
The same day I moved in I moved the trash bin from the garage to the driveway…it took up valuable workspace, and it stunk. I never heard a peep from my neighbors or the COA…not for years.
Until, six years later, the condo association hired a new management company, and they immediately started sending threatening letters about keeping my trash bin inside the garage except for trash day.
Eventually they fined me.
So, here’s the problem…the trash bins are not mentioned anywhere in the condo association contracts. The management company was interpreting the “generally pleasing appearance” clause to allow them to enforce the trash bin preferences of the condo board president.
I went round and round with the board, but the president would never allow comment or a vote on bins…
…so I paid a lawyer to draft a C&D letter, taped the envelope to my bin, and left it in his driveway.
A couple days later my bin appeared back in my driveway…where it sat for four more years until we moved out.
That’s why I hate HOA’s.
