I think it's ****ing ridiculous for people to think they should be able to live free from looking at pickup trucks. That's about the extent of what I think about it. I don't give two shits if it's legal, it's still ****ing ridiculous.
I think it is ridiculous myself, but to each their own, their neighborhood, their covenants. The question I asked is still unanswered; what do you think is right here? The owners clearly indicated they agreed to not park trucks in the neighborhood at certain hours. Because you do not like those agreements do you support those owners even though they are going back on what they agreed to do?
They said the law didn’t apply to their type of covenants. The law was probably written by lawyers who will profit from the the confusion and ambiguity…
That’s why the lawyers will profit…
Otis's factory in Bloomington when it was open also thought that way back then.
Right.
Right. Just because someone says the HOA is ignoring the law doesn’t mean they are. It will be interesting to see how this plays out in court. I knew nothing of the new Florida law other than the news cast.
They learned the hard way.
I think it is right for the law to protect the property rights of the people who own property. I think someone who is trying to live the American dream of home ownership ought to have the right to park their pickup truck in their driveway. I think that the government should step in and shut down HOAs that resort to this sort of ******** and limit HOAs to collecting dues for and maintaining common areas and/or shared amenities.
So the ends justify going back on their word?
WTF are you talking about? Sounds to me like they did honer what they signed. Dude even paid for a parking place for his truck to accommodate the rules.
This is the entire point of an HOA, to bring the weight and threat of the government into private property issues like parking. Otherwise there is no point to a contract whatsoever, they are all ultimately enforced by the government.
