**** them bitches. Do you let them control you?

WTF is a "home owners association"?


It's essentially a blight ordinance with teeth. A HOA keeps the
neighborhood looking nice.

Sounds like more red tape and government bull****.


Depends where you live in the US. Generally not needed for
municipalities but in a lot of suburban communities homeowners are
responsible for road maintenance, snow removal and the like.

State will otherwise only maintain development roads built to state
standards with storm drainage, curbs and sidewalks.

We were lucky in being able to give our road over to the state to
maintain and now only have a small cost for snow removal.

How can a homeowner be responsible for snow removal? I mean how can
that possibly work? Does every homeowner clear the road of x yards of
snow? Or do you all come to an agreement that one guy has a big piece
of machinery and you all give him a bit of cash to do it?


The state would plow roads but developments are last on their list. We
hire a guy that does it and are partially reimbursed by the state.
Those without state roads pay the full cost. These things are probably
regional and vary considerably. We also pay several trash haulers
individually as this is not a municipal service.
