I’m sorry I had to reply to this.
I realize a lot of peeps hate HOAs, however, if you lived next door to the trashy axx dude I live next to, you’d pray for one! I live out of the city limits in Joshua, Tx and this clown next door for almost 20 years hasn’t painted, planted a bush or shrub, tossed some white axx dusty rock as a driveway that gets all over my cars and truck daily, and continues to make our nice neighborhood look worse and worse regularly! Nicest guy in the world, but dumb as a box of rocks! Has no clue what his filthyness does to all our home values. So many things I wanna say about him here but it’ll get taken down quickly. So count your blessings for your HOA. Wish I had one!
